Names -> Cool Band Names -> K, 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 K are split into multiple pages: 1 2
Name | Origin | Submitted by: | ||
| K.I.R.S. | It spells Kid In Rappin' Suit. | mr.tyler | ||
| k.u.r. | k u r - short from 'kulturno umetnichki rabotnici' , which on macedonian means cultural art workers, and the abbreviation itself means penis, slang macedonian. | vlado_again | ||
| Kain | Everybody knows Cain. It's just a misspelling. | www.geocities.com/c_pen/ | ||
| Kaiser Soze | The name of Kevin Spacey's character in the movie "The Usual Suspects." | glitterglue | ||
| KakaRikO | What could be better than a band called "KakaRikO"?! I got it from Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and there's a nice village called Kakariko Village. So hey, why not a band? | CJX | ||
| Kaked Kernel | illiteration at its best - clearly a name for some goth-metal tribute band | Pete | ||
| Kaleidoscope | Isn't that cool! It can have so many meanings, and a kaleidoscope changes all the time. It spins and is colorful, which is always a plus. P.S. nobody can take that name, it's mine!! | Bonnie | ||
| Kaleidoscope Eyes | It's in the song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" by the Beatles, it's like the "Rolling Stones", who took their name from a Bob Marley song. | liebz | ||
| Kali The Destroyer | The name of a Hindu god. I saw it written on the singer Elliot Smith's arm. Would be a good death metal band name. | Derek M | ||
| Kamakazee Penguinz | 'Cause penguins can't fly! And people who saw it would listen and see what it would be about. | PuFin MaN | ||
| Kamakwazi Fishpaste | Because its original . we like, like to fight, and were brave- likes kamakwazis, and fishpaste added funkie-ness to it.. | Kristen Staehler | ||
| Kamikaze | My friends are forever doing crazy stunts. The slang definition of 'kamikaze' is a reckless person. So I thought it suited for the band we want to make. | Anonymous | ||
| Kamikazi Kitten | I saw some other moron spell it "Comicozzi" and so I was just thinking about it, and then.. there ya go. | Josh | ||
| Kampukachuka and the Cookie Country | Came from the mispronunciation of a place name combined with a nickname for another place thrown together | Jonas Lebowski | ||
| Kappella | It means band in italian! isn't it cool??? | Kaygirl22 | ||
| Kar Lotta Love | Insipired by a girl named Carlota, who was really dumb and stupid and crazy. But she always had a lot of love to spread around. | Slimer | ||
| Karate Kids | It is cool because when I used to be a kid that was nine years old my age group was called, "Karate Kids" or, K.K. for short. | Joshua | ||
| Karking Mozzies | I was at the school culture day, and there was an Aussie table set up that taught Aussie slang, so it just came to me. "To Kark" is to die, and "Mozzie" is a mosquito. Go figure. | Lana | ||
| Karl Marx & the Young Hegelians | I've thought this would be a cool name for a band since a history of ideas class at university. Of course, some would find the group antithetical. | Josh | ||
| Kaspai Aku | Ok...I kinda made up this secret language (aren't I weird?) and this means...ok, fine, "black (or "dark") water". Despite the meaning it wouldn't work for a metal band coz 1) nobody would know what it means, and 2) what metal band wants the name Kaspai Aku? It'd work well for a soul music performer though, all mysterious-like, ya know? Hehe. | Trainiac | ||
| Katharsis | It is the height of emotional release- what our band is about! It rocks and is totally meaningful and reflective of me. [Ed.'s note: As well as mispelled.] | Zarif Rasul | ||

| KaWaii KiTt3n'z | Me and my 5 friends are performing as a street band called KaWaii (tokyo) KiTt3n'z We're not well known but people love to stop by and watch us outside a restruant and the owners of the restruant don't mind since they don't have to pay us to play and it attrects more customors (Which the owner welcomely enjoys), we came up with Kawaii kittens since kittens are after all.. kawaii (Unless they're nasty little ones that scratch you at first sight >_<) | Dana Lee | ||
| Kay Carr & the Yugo Girls | I was just thinking about how I can't fit into small cars when I thought of this. Plus, I like the "Yugo Girl" pun. | Tejayes | ||
| Kayfabe | "Kayfabe" is an old carny term meaning "fake"....as so many bands' "unique sounds and looks" (e.g. Backstreet/N'Sync/etc.) are obvius ripoffs of other successful bands, why not be honest? Truth in advertising and all... | Syntania | ||
| Kazuo | It's a character off the Japanese gorefest - "Battle Royale" Kazuo is the one that joins the game of death purely for fun. And he is the man. Full name, Kazuo Kiriyama. Kiriyama could be one too, but it's not as good... | Lee | ||
| Keep Your Day Job | KYDJ. Sounds Like a Radio Station. But people are always saying. Keep your day job as a back up | Lucky | ||
| Kenny-Time | Ken is my youth group leader's name, and whenever we have a rumble, we call it 'Kenny-Time', coz he's the one who often initiates it. | Two-Faced Goblin | ||
| The Kent Dorffman Experience | This could be the band name if Kent "Flounder" Dorffman (National Lampoon's Animal House) joined The Jimi Hendrix Experience. | Trigger | ||
| Kentucky Thunder | me and the guys were thinking of a name for our band and wanted it to be something with thunder in it, like thunderclap or rolling thunder ,but one of us suddenly just threw the word Kentucky in and it stuck. | corey dedmon | ||
| Kermit's Fingers | "What's green and smells of pork?" Could be either a three peice or a five piece band depending on..... | Shane | ||
| Kerosene Bubble Bath | i don't know, i heard something about drowning in kerosene in some song and hey Kerosene Bubble Bath sounds cool | Calvin | ||
| Kettsu Frisk | It sounds Japanese, the title is incomprehensible, cash in on the soon-to-be-fading U.S. Anime craze now! | Cel-Chan | ||
| The Kevin Lunt Conspiracy | This guy Kevin Lunt always wins TV phone in competitions. | Ricko | ||
| Khaos Kitten | I think this is a cool name and the first Cd would be called "The First Litter of Darkness" i thought of it while trying to remember a Band i like. | Jeremy Garren | ||
| Kick me! | Well, everytime I listen to the band Garbage,I think of Shirley Manson, and she reminds me of someone that would say "kick me!" or something like that. | Chokex | ||
| KickBoxingWannabes | its such a great name cause who doesn't wish they could kickbox?its just so cool, and we're just a bunch of wannabes who are too unmotivated to actually learn | michelle | ||
| Kickflip Master | well i was going thru the site when i saw funkmaster so i have this shirt that said kickflip master so i think its a good band name | angel good or bad | ||
| Kicking The Oxygen Habit | I think this name says a lot. It says we are running out of air to breathe. It diss-es the older generation for ruining our environment. It could also be used by a band that chain smokes. Since bands also play to smoky clubs, it works there, as well. A name with many side meanings. A band name like this will have your audience really guessing. | hippi chic | ||
| The Kicks | I came up with it when I started becoming crazy for shoes. | Danny Lippman | ||
| Kid Cajun and The Mississippi Delta Marauders | I was trying to come up with a band with the word Marauders in it, and this is it. Because Marauder sounds so rock and roll. This band would be a little different in that they would play zydeco-flavored rock music. Really catchy bouncy fun danceable kind of music. I wasn't planning on it sounding so southern, but I like how it sounds. its really very cool. | Ed | ||
| Kid Innocence | this name just sounds cool. we got it while doing this mock trial in history class. we had some kids on trial and some teachers. the kids were all proven innocent. so there you have it | spank me | ||
| The Kidiots | For that band that likes to act childishly stupid. | I am the viod | ||
| Kids Chasing Kars | One day me and my friends were out side watching about 6 little kids chase cars down are street and that's how we came up with KiDs ChAsiNg KaRs | Matt | ||
| The Kids Who Made It | When I was a kid, we would always talk about how we made it. We were lucky, making it out of the slums. | Hew G. Rection | ||
| Kikusui | Japanese for "floating crysanthemums", and the name of a kamikaze operation conducted toward the end of the Pacific War. However, I imagine that the foreign branding aspect is enough to catch people's attention. | CC | ||
| Kilbourne High | Kind of Irish-sounding. It's in a Flogging Molly song | Emily | ||
| The Kilimanjaro Consequence | was watching Beakmans World | mutt | ||
| Kill Below The Belt | What would be more metal then taking hitting below the belt a step further? | Tim | ||

| Killed By A Fleeing Enemy | I was playing that arcade game "Dig-Dug", and I had disposed of all but 1 enemy. Now, bear in mind the last enemy always tries to flee, so I accidentally got in its path while chasing it and got killed. I thought, "I've just been killed by a fleeing enemy! Wait a minute ...that kind of oxymoron would be perfect for a band name!" | Someone you've heard from before | ||
| Killed by Death | It was the name of a fictional band in this old computer game I had called Rock Manager. I would call my band that if I had one. | shaniqua | ||
| KilledOnImpact | Me and my friend were looking for funny street names in a street directory and on the back there was an advertisment for speeding kills or whatever. I think KilledOnImpact would be a band that was either so good it rocked you or so bad your eardrums start to bleed. | Larna | ||
| killer dungbeetle | haha well i just thought this would be a cool band name cause one day me and my friend BAM were sitting in my kitchen at like 3 in the morning making paper airlplanes and she makes this f***ed up one and goes....look, i shall call it....killer dungbeetle and im like thats a cool band name so there u go! | KNOX | ||
| The Killer Penguins | Well, it would be awesome if those cute cuddly little penguins you grew up admiring suddenly comes from behind with a knife. Good for maybe a ska/funk band | Charlie | ||
| The Killer Puppets | I just think it sounds so innocent as the puppets and then put killer in front of it and it's all evil. My friend and I came up with it when we were watching the movie Saw and the "Jigsaw" puppet rolls into the room where Amanda is and is riding a tricycle. I just think it is hilarious. | tbuck61391 | ||
| Killer Rabbit | From "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" | mike lydic | ||
| Killer Rabbits | I think that the movie MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL is the funniest movie ever. There's this one scene where a little white rabbit attacks and kills these knights, one of the lines are "That is no ordinary rabbit. That is the most ill-tempered rodent you've ever seen!" | Hobbs | ||

| Killigan | I thought this would be a clever play on the name of the title character in "Gilligan's Island." | Renard | ||
| Killing Babies with Spoons | I know, ick. But something about contemplating the ways you could do it gets to me. (This is the name I use when I think someone is pretending to have heard of bands they actually haven't. If they say they've heard of KBWS, I know they're full of it. | pmshaw | ||
| Killing Karma | 2 fighting concepts that sounds cool and fast together. | zoe de andrea | ||
| Killing The Messenger | You know that old phrase, "Don't kill the messenger"? ... Well, some of us take that as the old "reverse-psychology" ploy. | Tapistrie Jay | ||
| Killpaco | Paco( pronounced pa- ko) is an annoying parrot that sang on a cd in my french class. It was supposed to help us learn what time it was. Then Paco asked what time it was and my friend said it was time to kill Paco. It was like a gift from God. | umm yeah | ||
| Kindergarten DropOuts | Well...In the 6th grade i started a band and it didnt go very far. We just practiced for a couple months.

| King Friday | I've always thought King Friday would be an excellent band name...named after the king of the Land of Make Believe on Mr. Roger's Neighborbood. And to be even better, the name of the first album by King Friday would have to be "Correct As Usual" | Michael Crowley | ||
| King Nevu and the Dukes of Trelzor | Well, my dad always talks about " Zorak of Trelzor". And some friends call him King Nevu. I was kind of bored one day and came up with the name. I thought it was cool. | Jim Nevala | ||
| King Nosmo | I was sitting outside my high school, when I saw a "no smoking" sign on the doors, cut directly at the "Nosmo-king" area. I reversed this, and just sort of came up with this idea. | Ehm | ||
| King Nothing | It's the name of one of my most fav(e) Metallica songs. But it looks like it has potential to become an awesome band name. | grunge rules | ||
| King Ring Nancy | This was my drummer's old band. The guitarist was looking at a pack of Players Light cigarettes (Canadian). The messege on the pack read: "Smoking During Pregnancy Can Harm Your Baby". He started crossing out letters on the pack and voula, King Ring Nancy was born. Pretty cool eh? | Darin | ||
| King Super | Named after King Soopers, a small grocery chain in Colorado. My dad was stationed in Denver, and he pronounced it "King Super", which I thought it was too. | rocky | ||

That kind of stuck in my head. | -Punk-Rock- | ||

| Kitana's Stars | Kitana means 'sword' in Japanese, so I thought it would be cool. | Britta | ||

| Klu Klux Katholic | Makes you think of what it could mean. Plus it is always a good idea to mispell words in band names. I'm thinking industrial speed metal with a girl playing lead guitar in a nun's outfit. An opening band for KWAR. | Stace | ||
| Knights On The Town | Instead of "Night On The Town". Everybody dresses up in knight suits, making it a very heavy metal band. | Sam | ||
