Names -> Cool Band Names -> J, Page 1

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 J are split into multiple pages: 1 2

Jacket Potato Jesus My friend was looking through a French dictionary in a French lesson (figures), and at the top of one of the pages she turned to it said "jacket potato -----> Jesus". We decided it would make a great band name! Mouse
Jackie Steels A Car It is a parody on the 80's band names like "Frankie goes to Hollywood" and "Michael learns to rock". It got the misspelling of steels/steals, cos it sounds more demolition then. and yeah, this was also the name of my old school band. Magga
The Jacknifed Sugartruck like many other people on here...I'm addicted to the Simspsons...and this is something Homer blurted out when he saw...a jacknifed sugar truck... SpidersMakeMeGiddy

Japanese Sexbots In a recap of "Buffy: The Vampire Slayer" on the TV Without Pity site, the recapper was talking about how lousy the Buffybot was: "It's due to that kind of shoddy craftsmanship that the Japanese sexbots are dominating the market." The writer thought it would be a good album title, but it would make an even better band name. JenniD
Jarocka It's the last name of this lass in a class - her real last name is Jarocka. That has to be one of the coolest names ever. Say it out loud. Jarocka - it could be Jaw Rocker, Jah Rocka, or Jar o' ska with the slightest inflection. Say it out loud JAROCKA - it's not a name, it's an exclamation! Anson Parker

JAW (Just Add Water) umm just popped into my head, thought it sounded good either way, JAW or Just Add Water!! Jeffster
Jazz Commando Jazz is inherently cool, as is only too obvious when relaxing in a Mid-Kent kind of mood after dinner and thinking up names for implausible beat combos. Tango-Mango
JC Sykes And The Cosmic Garr I used to deliver the paper to this guy's place when I was kid. It was the sign on his door and stuck in my mind for way to many years. cactuleaf
Jealously Slays The Simple  Well, I'll admit, I'm a jealous kind of guy. Over the years of past relationships, the cause of the break ups was that I would get jealous. And in the end, I would be left with nothing. So it basiclly anyone can relate to if your the jealous type. Chris
Jeanster We made up the band name because Betty, Brandy and I love to wear jeans. So we named our singing group Jeanster. All we need is a band and we are ready to rock and roll! Summer
Jeebus My friend was high and thought he heard Jesus talking to him. Instead of saying, "Jesus is talking to me", he said, "Jeebus is talking to me". rebel rex
Jeezum Crow My brother used to say this all the time. rockerchick
Jehovah's Witness Protection Program My wife thinks it would be a good name. john kenerson
Jejune I like how it sounded so weird. N its kinda foreign sounding too. Its another meaning to empty. Interesting I thot. cryssy
The Jell-o Brand Band This is the name that my band and I came up with. Then we realized that Jell-o has probably copyrighted their name. But we've got a back-up: Djell-owh Brand Band Lizar Dbreath
Jell-O On Springs From the movie "Some Like It Hot". Jerry (Jack Lemmon): "Look at that! Look how she moves. That's just like Jell-O on springs. She must have some sort of built-in motors. I tell you, it's a whole different sex!" Caylynn
Jellfire An alteration of the word "Hellfire" to make it more... jelly. Neil
Jemisphere Well, my name is Jem. One time, I was thinking of an email my friend Addie and I were gonna do 'Jem is here'. But I put an 'p' by accident, so it became 'Jemisphere'. Jemma
Jeremy Beedles Midget Hand Its cool, cos its one of those mysterys that you know is there but he never lets you see it, also!! it would so cool on the radio or in a gig line up, its the kind of exposure he doesnt want, but it would save his hated a**, and possible make him popular, think about it. chrisbarnes
Jericho Fallout I always knew the name Jericho was cool. Then while reading a T.V. Guide I saw an episode of an obscure drama program called "Jericho". I knew "fallout" was the perfect compliment to it. It makes sense because of the Bible story. So here it is for all to judge: Jericho Fallout.  Gig (The Jig) Fuller
Jerked Fear I thought it was a cool name i thought of it when i was listening to freak on a leash mindfreak
Jerkface just an old school verbal gesture my fellow 4th graders used to say all the time, it was a sure heart breaker Nickc
Jerky Curtains On the old genesis game "skitchin" there was a cd player where you could select "serious grunge tunage"(or some guy on a synth trying to play metal)and one of the tunes was called the above. I thought it sounded pretty dope. Other tracks were "smells like tuna" and the equally cool"crunchy bumpkin" jae peee
Jermajesty Thank you to the like guy who thought of this in the Offspring names. And I thought that it would make a great rock band nam. Amiright.com and Google.com rule Bush does not.  hamp
Jesus and the Burning Birches I saw this phrase in a "Sam & Max: Freelance Police" comic years ago which went kinda like this: "Sweet Jesus in a burning Birch bark canoe! What in good God's name is that?" Psychotic Rabbit
Jesus Christ on Ice I have this thing where I like to make up my own swears and when this popped out when I saw something really scary, I thought that It just stuck. I think it had something to do with watching "Blades of Glory" with the Grubblets On Ice, but I don't think I saw that movie until after I made this one up Devon Murphy
Jesus Chrysler My boyfriend's first band. (The Saviour meets Lee Iacocca.) Jamie
Jesus Cupcakes OK, well, for anyone who has ever seen Orgazmo(the movie) the lead character calls his girl friend and says "jesus and i love you cupcake" and i just took out the i love you pat and got a cool band name! Ginger
Jesus Fish I live in a very Catholic neighborhood and there are a LOT of Jesus fish around. It just seemed like a cool name! Steve
Jesus Fish After driving around for years and seeing those Jesus Fish things on the backs of people's cars... and I thought that would be a great band name and if there wasn't already a band out there called Jesus Fish then there should be. One Hit Wonder
Jesus From a Petry Dish It was an art project, and we had to draw a portion of an insect,and underneath the Praying mantis was this caption. I could be a sort of mellow-core punk band, almost... emo. Said Vicious
Jesus In A Can That's us. That's my band. Can't take it. If you do, I will personally come to your house, break your teeth and rip them out your a**. I'll give you Jesus in a can, alright. Jesus in a can of WHOOPA**. That's my band, you dumb bastard. Follow Jesus! Wood
Jesus Wears Purple Pantyhose Well, just the mental image plus it's got illiteration going on there. I thought of it on my friend's front porch just saying stupid stuff z~dog
Jetavana It is the name of the grove where Gotama the first teacher of the way of the Buddha lived and taught many, and also died his last mortal death before becoming one with the universe, and i found it cause i am heavey into that deep stuff and all that and thought it would just be the most awesome name for a band so there it is, if i finally get around to starting one, i got it on reserve haha. but otherwise there it is, another cool band name guys, look it up its really interesting! Dan_Axels
Jew-ish Well, I heard a joke, that said, "I'm not a full blooded Jew, I am Jew-ish". So I thought it would be a good name. Greg
Jim Jones And The Suicides Jim Jones was the leader of a cult who committed mass suicide in 1978. Hmmm...maybe its a bit morbid actually! Craig C
Jim Jones Ice Cream Wagon Jim Jones was a major inspiration for me as I grew up listening to his giniously conceived music and huge talented voice of his. The Ice Ceram Wagon comes from the idea of my childhood, where I start listen to Jim. The Ice Cream Wagon also transmits a sweet and tender idea of joy and fun mixed with excitment. CarlosPT
Jimbo's Beer Glue My friend Jim once got a C.D. stuck to a table because he had spilled beer on it. It could make an interesting product as well. Mustang Dave

Jimmy Spits And The Swallows I like it. Jimmy Pop
The Jinas It sounds like Vagina. I kind of ripped it off from 40 Year Old Virgin. Justin
Jinx My gerbil is called Jinx. scaz
Jish I have a friend named Josh who's very much into Phish . I always tell him to a guitar and learn, but he not much into the idea. One night I had a dream that i sent him a guitar. then, at our ten year high school reunion (still a dream) the band opening was "jish" - and there was josh playing guitar with the band phish, he was good too. first songs: "stop calling me a beatle" "bowled over" and "yearbook dropout" Ange
Jitrniczkaa Cool name for a punk band. It means white meat pudding...!!! Cool, isn´t it? IDZ
Jive Junction It's from an old movie. Jive
Jo'el S. and the Sweatband I was trying to cheer a friend up (named Joel) and told him that he needs to bring back the sweat band and start a rock band, with a little spanish influence, it just took off from there!!! Jessica
Jock Itch Delight This name is cool because it makes absolutley no sense whatsoever. Why? Because I have had jock itch before, and trust me, it's not delightful! TYLER
Jodie Foster's Butt A bit of trivia here with the name: Jodie Foster was the little girl in the Coppertone Suntan Lotion ads who had her bikini bottom removed by her dog, exposing her suntanned derriere. I'm sure Jodie would love a band named after her famous butt.  name
Jody and the DIrty sKiRtz Just sitting around with my boyfriend (drunk) trying to find a cool name for a band. I'm a singer and thought this would be pretty darn cool! Jody
Jody Got Married Based on the Brian Adam's song - "Summer of '69", which goes "had a band, tried real hard, Jimmy quit, Jody got married, shoulda known we'd never get far". Many have thought that line WAS a reference to his actual band name. Clint Bishop
Joe Blow and the Eskimoes Also the Yataheyder. I always say these words, and they sound good together. Plus, it sounds like a foreign language Dawn
Joe Friday I always loved Dragnet and Joe Friday...and I can't believe there ISN'T a band with that name! Suzette
Joey's Apple From a "Friends" episode: Joey comments that his tie is making his Joey Apple hurt (he meant his Adam's Apple.) Hawk
Joey's Descendants my friend made it up and he was thinkin of joey and the pacemakers coy matula
Jogging With Lipstick So cool! Actually, my mom came up with this, but it's totally punk. You know those wierd people, who go out to exercise but feel they have to put on all their makeup first? They have to look perfect even though they're gonna sweat it off anyway. Kinda of a metaphore for life, don't you think? You never know what to expect.  Erica Messner
John 3:16 This is a cool band name because it is the most complex verse in the Bible. I thought about how Jesus Christ died on the cross for us! I am going to parody songs into Christian songs, so that I may be a good disciple! I will spread the Gospel through my songs, and convert many so that many may have everlasting life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever beleived in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16 NIV. Joshua
John Henry and the Steel-Driving Men Because come on, what's cooler than a 7-foot-tall guy who drives nails into the ground? Anais
John Q. Public & the Nobodies Sounds like a ska band to me... Brother Beef
John The Spastic If you hate Baptists... IHaveNoBrain
Johnny Cupcake and the Soda Brigade I just came up with it one night when talking with friends. I think its pretty cool because it's catchy plus it just sounds weird. I don't really know what it means. I think they had started calling me Johhny Cupcake and I added the Soda Brigade part! G Money
Johnny Guitar Once This derives from a mishearing in a coda from the track 'The Best' by Teddy Riley-led group Guy. Though I still don't know what they say in this particular line (though they're listing famous figures of soul music), I laugh each time I hear 'Johnny Guitar Once'. It's just so nonsensical that simultaneously it's magnetically unique. Don't know what type of music they would specialise in but whatever it is, guaranteed it would be a surefire hit by name alone. Devil Jones
Johnny Gun Gyro This band name just came to me. It's a combination of Johnny Knoxville, Spyro Gyro, and Guns N' Roses. Thus Johnny Gun Gyro was born. Kayla Thompson
Johnny Tampon and the Toxic Shocks A long time ago I was in this band. Ridiculous names like this work with ridiculous peeps and loud a** trebly rock. your mothers toy
Johnson It Well i guess anything with Johnson in it would be cool, but whenever me and my friends have to do something fast we always say "Johnson it" Pnathan
The Joint-Rolling Toms I was walking home with my friend and we were talking about how I saw a kid rolling a joint during class. Then we were so bored that we started to make up a song about him and named our "band" this. S
The Joke Assasins My friend was tellin a joke, and someone else recognized that joke, and shouted out the punch line, so i called him a joke assasin.  Pat Davison
The Joker Jason submitted nonsensical lyrics to Steve Miller Band's "THe Joker", and listed artist and title wrong, so he actually put that the song was called "Steve Miller Band" and by "The Joker". So then The Joker would be a cool band name as it was in among band names. And just think, if this band sung a nonsensical lyric, that someone submitted, it would be up with Jason's! Great! sonikal
Jolly Jokers From Hogan's Heroes, it's what Sgt. Schultz calls the men when they act funny. Dave
The Jolopies Its a sweet name for any band. I work at an antique store and saw an old toy with the box that said Jolopy something or other on it. Lame toy. I knew the word before that, sometimes you just have to see it in writing before you realize its a cool word. Kevin
Jomammas Sophat Junkies For all those jo momma joke addicts. Well I could just hear "and now for your nights entertainment".  badboybear
Jon An Chovi Because we mixed Jon Bon Jovi up with Anchovi and we believe that it sounds like an interesting mix. Wouldn't you agree??? Shichael
Jonny Stole My Carcass I just thought of it cos i was in a funny mood. The word carcass seems to make it interesting. Good name for a stupid ska punk band Andy
