Names -> Cool Band Names -> I, Page 2
Whenever I hear a cool phrase somewhere, I like to exclaim "That would make a cool band name". This page is a list of such names.
I can not verify whether these names have been taken yet or not. If your band happens to already use one of these names sorry. If you want to use a name you see here, you'll need to verify it's not already in use.
Entries starting with I are split into multiple pages: 1 2 3
Name | Origin | Submitted by: | ||
| Incognizant | It means "lacking knowledge or awareness; unaware." | johnny's girl | ||
| Incomplete Dominance | Well, it just plain sounds cool, but its literal meaning is when two alleles (visible traits from genes) have no dominance in each other, so when the 2 genes are put together, their features combine. For instance, when a red flower and a white flower have offspring, it will be pink. Sorry, that explaination was lame. | Dillon | ||
| Inconspicuous Flowers | It sounds enticing, and the chicks like it. I misheard a line from a play once, and that was what I thought I heard. The line was really, "prospective powers," from some guy called Edward Albee. | Moonvolt | ||
| The Incredible Five-Cent Sugar Rockets | It's a type of modle rocket, instructions here: http://ai.chem.ohiou.edu/~tip/specific/nickle.html Makes me think of a band like Neutral Milk Hotel. | alchemist | ||
| Inde | Inde is an old Apache word that means "The People" I learned that in school, and I thought, "Man that would be a cool name for a band 'Inde'" If I ever start a band, that's what I'm going to call it. | Mack the Knife | ||
| Indearing Ghandi | A play on "endearing" Indira Ghandi. Mispelled on purpose because the endearment happens from the inside. | Mahatma | ||
| Indecent Incident | We thought this name would look cool on a CD cover, since the words look so much alike, it would be hard to tell what it says at first. This also seems like a name that a very cool logo could be made up for. | Kate & Jim | ||
| Indecisive Awareness | It's just a random name that means "Deciding on Awareness" or DOA. It's not from a show or anything. So that's just too bad. | Samula | ||
| Indefinition | No one knows what it means. hehe. | Kadooshka | ||
| Indieology | Md | |||
| Industrial Park | Because It has that posion feeling. Well When I was coming home from LAX I saw a street called Industrial. And there was a park beside it. That's how we got it | Andrew | ||
| Industrial Stench | I thought this would be a cool name for a metal band. I went past a factory in a car. | Lizzard Lady | ||
| Industrial Yellow | Me and my friend have worked alot of construction jobs and while we were traveling around the US remodeling hotels with just me, him and our boss living and working in the hotels the only the thing that kept us from going crazy was our guitars. We would jam till we passed out and wake up work another 18 hours or so and all of the tools we and our boss had were yellow (industrial yellow) and after staring at that color all frickin day you start to see it every where and it would drive us up the wall so rather than fight it we decided that if we ever had a band that "Industrial Yellow" would be fitting. | Chad Perry | ||
| Indy Anna | You guessed it. Another all-girl country band, with the members residing in the great state of Indiana. I once wanted to name my daughter Indy Anna. Fortunately, I never had any children. | Indyhick | ||
| IndyGent | I think it would be a great idea for a indy rock band to be named after our Editor. [Ed. note: Thanks, I am so honored. But it has to be a band from Indianapolis. ;)] | phamilto | ||
| Inedible Shoelace | Well it sounds as it it is HARD, and cant be eaten, so if you think about music, we play it hard! Its all good, it works! | Kyle P.F. | ||
| Inevisting | This is a word that I came up with that is the combonation of Inevitable and Sting. | Alex Smith | ||
| Inevitable | Well i got this from a game, Tribes (PS2) ! It's a tight name huh? I feel famous. | ZeniK | ||
| Infant Mortality | Well, I'm into heavy metal and tried to think up a name for my band when I get one. Then I learned about this term in Geography class, so I thought it would be a good heavy metal band name. | Vampyre:pryde | ||
| Infected Chicken Bites | I came up with this name when I got food poisoning from Allsup's Popcorn Chicken. Hope to hear someone use it. | Schmehr | ||
| Inferior Concrete | Ok, so, my friend and I were walking down the street one day and we saw a sign on someone's lawn next to their driveway which said "made with superior concrete", so we began to wonder if everything else was just made with inferior concrete. We then decided that Inferior Concrete would be the name of our new band, if we ever got around to forming it. | Lisa | ||
| Inferno | I was playing with a lighter one day, dropped it and set light to a bunch of leaves and bang-the idea hit me. (not literally) | Robz | ||
| Infierno | Is this a band name already? I dunno. as far as i know it means Hell in spanish | Nix | ||
| Infinity | It's from a car brand, and it gives a little bang to it. | nathan | ||

| Inhale the Love Gas | This was my band's name. We got it from those 60s spy movies/TV shows where there was always some wierd-colored gas being sprayed into someone's face and they would pass out....Why "Love" Gas...I'm not sure... | Steve | ||
| Inhaling Peaches | This came about, not too long ago, back in high school. A friend and I were listening to Smashing Pumpkins and for some reason i busted out with "Inhaling Peaches!"... ahh high school.. what was I thinking? | Adrenalinez | ||
| Inherent Losers | You know how some people are just born losers? They are inherently dweebs therefore the name Inherent losers | Pigertaws | ||
| Injustice For All | Just thinking about freedoms we don't have but the government does have... | Bill Braman | ||
| Ink | A band of some real idiots went into the Federal Band Name Registration Office to register their name and the form said, "What is your band name? (Write in ink.) So they wrote in "Ink". | Whooler | ||
| Ink | OK, it was this really mean thing my whole grade did to this one girl in 6th grade. We told her there was a band called Ink to see if she would go along with it, and she did. It was really funny cuz all their songs were about pens. This went on for the whole year and she just kept on pretending like she knew what we were talking about, and claimed to see all their new music videos and everything. | Kj | ||
| Ink Face Dummie | My friend got really wasted and passed out. Well me and my trusty black pen got bored. You'll figure out the rest. | Wierd One | ||

| Inkrejulus | It means like, not easily decieved, or you don't believe many things without proof. I was looking online and found this word, and thought, wow that would look cool spelled like this. (IN-Krej-oooh-lus) | AJ Steel | ||
| Inner City Express | We used it back in the mid-70's because we though ICE was pretty cool!!! | Vern Chandler | ||
| Inner Transition | I was trying to decide what to call my band, when I eventually create one, and I was reading the periodic table for inspiration. Somehow the inner transition metals just struck me as cool. Could be a sort of new age band maybe. | subject to change | ||
| Innocence Forgotten | This would be a cool band name for a girl group who isn't quite as angelic as they seem. | cassi | ||
| Innocent Bystander | i was sitting in my garage playing my guitar when some guy almost got hit by a car when he was walking. i thought that it may represent being a bystander and getting hit by something life-changing | Earle | ||
| The Innocent Criminals | That name, submitted by tbuck61391 is already used (and has been) by Ben Harper's band. | Oliver Clothesoff | ||
| The Innocent Criminals | Usually, criminals are not too innocent, so I came up with it as sort of an oxymoron. | tbuck61391 | ||
| Innocent Monkeys | The cover of their debut album would show the three band members in "hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil" poses. | Princess Ana | ||
| Innocent Of the Knowledge | Who said shakespear was good for nothing!!! well, thats mosly trye, but thsi mcbeth quote gave our band this rather random name for our rather random group.........ska-funk-punk-grunge-rock....interesitng | Strudel | ||
| Innocent Tongues | I saw this in a poem by Wilfred Owen, who was a poet in WWI. I thought it was funny because there is so much bad mouthing in music these days. | josh manning | ||
| Innuendo | My favorite Queen album and my favorite album overall. It is a very cool word. | Lash Ferguson | ||

| Inquisitive Investigators | Aren't all investigators inquisitive? THis is a great name for the ex- police investigators who want to start a band! | Pigertaws | ||
| Insane Cardigan Posse | Well, the story to this one is, I always come up with really strange things the second they pop in my head. Plus I have a friend who loves 60's-70's music, and he's a Juggalo, so I came up with the perfect band for him. A mixture of The Cardigans, and Insane Clown Posse. | Rob | ||
| Insane Cheesecake | I went to a party, and they had chese cake. While walking around, i heard somebody say: Wow, this is insane cheesecake. Voila. | qweww | ||
| Insane in the Membrain | my friends and i were watching this tv show and all the sudden one pf them said that he seems to be insane in the membrain, we then had a huge laughing fit and it just sounds like an interesting name for a band who could have an image of being a bit insane... | alygal | ||
| Insane Root | Reference to a phrase from Shakespeare's MacBeth | Ami | ||
| Insanity | Its cool because it relates to how some people in the world do not know what to do in life and how life is pretty insane if you think about it. Thats the same reason why I came up with it too! | Shanella erickson | ||
| Insanity's Children | I was thinking about insanity and how it's a very strange way of looking at life. I use Insanity's_Child for a lot of my screen names and the same name for a lot of my Clans. So yeah, I reckon it's cool. | Cameron | ||

| insomniac | I was listening to Green Day's "Insomniac", And I thought it would be an awesome band name. :) | metal head | ||
| Insomniac's Dream | Taken from the title of an album by Adema. I like it and think it's cool because it's an oxymoron. You dream when you sleep, and insomnia is not sleeping. You can't dream when you can't sleep now can you? I guess insomniacs dream (imagine) they are sleeping. Anyway I like band names that are ironic or oxymorons and this should be the name of a band somewhere! | Edward | ||
| Inspector Clouseau And The Pink Panthers | For all you Pink Panther fans out there who want to form a band, this name is for you! | Alan the Ottoman | ||

| Instant Skin | When my sister and I were younger, we wanted to be in a band. We started making up names. This was our favorite. The first album would, of course, be "Just Add Water". | Tattyfatty | ||
| Instant Winner | As in, "You may not be an instant winner". I wouldn't mind listening to someone who actually _is_ an instant winner, and knows it. | Adam | ||
| Instinct | I thought it was a cool name because it is like instinct when you think of a band name | ward86fan | ||

| INTERNAL BLEEDING | its just sounds like a kick ass goregrind band | brendo | ||

| Internal Essence | This name was cool because one of our members was wearing Herbal Essence (Shampoo) in her hair. We liked the fragrance in her hair, so we took the name. | Marcus roberson | ||

| International Beat Machines | I was wondering what else IBM could stand for... | Joe | ||
| The Interpreted | If you just listen to the words "The Interpreted," it just makes you interpret the band. It makes you think of how you interpret this band as being. It actually came to me while I was writing one of my essays. | DC | ||
| Interspirit | I think it´s a cool name for a Christian band because this word tries to say there is a relationship between God an us in spirit. And it sounds cool. | Luis Barbosa | ||
| Into The Fog | I think this name is cool because when i listen to my older brothers band it makes me think of my band and our song that talks about a girl that goes in to the fog and never came out. I think it would be a good band name for a sad depressing band that has there heart broken. | J.P | ||
| Into the Mist | Cpt. Neeb | |||
| Intoxicated Butterfly | We did this stupid butterfly project back in 6th grade, and I had a friend who was researching this butterfly. The butterfly would go eat rotting fruit, and then become intoxicated. We realized how much of a cool band name that'd be! | Brandi | ||
| Intoxilyzer | It's really just another term for breathilyzer, but doesn't it just sound cool? It would work particularly well for a band that's so hard they leave you feeling intoxicated... | Professor Stampede | ||
| Intrinsically Linked | my mom is an author and she wrote the line in one of her books: 'Yeah, coz your all intrinsically linked'. I just liked it! | clanger | ||

| Invincible Twinkies | As a wise Kwikie Mart store clerk once said, "Silly customer, you cannot hurt a twinkie!" | JT | ||
| Invisible Barf | It's cool because it's synonomous with musicians singing trashy lyrics. It's vomit you can hear, but can't see. Also, I barf everytime I drink sodas and/or alcohol. | rocky | ||
| Invisible But There | When our teacher used the word invisible, I just thought that you can't have something invisible but still there. So I thought it would make a good band name, because the band could be hip hop. It also sounds catchy. | mills | ||
| Invisible Electric Needle Gun | My sister started getting pains in her butt a few years ago. She described them as feeling like and invisible electric needle gun | Merlin | ||
| Invisible Insane | It's a translation of "out of sight, out of mind". Think about it. | Mandy | ||

| Ionic Bond | doesn't it sound spiffy and sophisticated? i came up with it in Bio class...use it freely. | bernie | ||
| Iran Shofar | A parody of A Flock Of Seagulls' "I Ran (So Far Away)." | Chuck Fensch | ||
| Irate Customer Bushwackers | Yeah you could send them to one of those crabby customers front door and have em turn up all their db amperage and when that grumpy customer answers the door everyone jam those decibels smack on their foreheads.! | badboybear | ||
| Iris | I think this is cool because... well, you see through your iris, and that is how you see the world, the world is your viewing stone and is there for you to see. and plus the iris flower is really cool. | Torrie | ||
| Irk the Snarky | It means annoy those who are annoying!!! It is the foundry of playing music really reeeeeeally loud to annoy old people!!! Irk- strange word, snarky- strange word, the- word most people with a preschool diploma can read. I really want to see a generation of preschoolers headbanging to loud music in place of naptime. | L | ||
| Irkers Of The World Unite | Possible punk name? | Casper |
