Names -> Cool Band Names -> L, 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 L are split into multiple pages: 1 2 3 4

| The Lacklusters | I think its a neat word, and it implies monotony. The jaded reality of daily life as a teenager. | kristin | ||
| The Lacklustres | I got the idea from some idiot who couldn't spell. [Ed.'s note: I have to disagree with you somewhat, Itchy, on kristin's entry for "The Lacklusters". The spelling of this name depends on what side of the Prime Meridian you are from. I do prefer your spelling of it, though.] | Itchy | ||
| The Laconic Conviction | That could be a cool band name in honor of all those bands that have the talent but dont give a rats patootie about fame! They just want to play local and be with their people. Lucky for us, they just do it cuz they love doing it. | badboybear | ||
| LaCToSe iNToLeReNT | Even though it's based on a dairy product problem... It's still cool enough to pass. Who says food related names aren't good for rock names? P.S. (It's already taken by me... Songs will soon be posted on www.true-fusion.vze.com's music page) | Reeko | ||
| Laddie Macbeth | Like Lady Macbeth, but with a sort of sting in the tail... would be a great name for a drag queen too. | Ariane | ||

| Lady Mondegreen | It's from the misheard lyrics thing (laid him on the green=lady mondegreen). It sounds like it already exists, though. | Lia | ||

| Lahe or Shet | Back when we were both in college, I was helping my sister write a paper for a class, and we were spell checking it, and we kept getting these words popping up: "Lahe" and "shet". We were completely baffled as to what they were, until we realized what had happened. Earlier, we had decided to change the whole paper from second-person ("when you get hired at this store, you will...") to third-person ("when an employee gets hired at this store, he or she will..."). So to begin this process, we used the find and replace function to search out every "you" and replace it with "he or she". Obidiently, the computer had done this, even to the middle of the word "layout", which appeared many times in the paper. Maybe we were just high on caffiene, but we both thought that was pretty damn funny, and she said it would make a good band name, so here it is. (Thank Jamie if you like it.) | Carolee | ||

| Large Print Edition | The original name of this band was "Heaven in a Can" (How I came up with that is a different story.) But yeah. LPE was gonna be the name of our first album, but I liked the album name. And by the way, we're not ska. We're noize. | Zeph | ||
| Larry Dallas and the Regal Beagles | We have a guy who works with us who looks like Larry Dallas, Jack Tripper's Buddy in "Three's Company" and he's always singing. They used to hang out at the Regal Beagle Lounge. | JaxTony | ||
| Larry Fink and the Steamy Weenies | I was in this band in the early 80's in N. Illinois.

| Lascivious Turtles | Well I was at this Shakespeare acting camp, and we were doing the play "The Merry Wives of Windsor," and in one of the scenes with Mistress Page and Mistress Ford, one of the lines was Lascivious Turtles. Very few of us understand what that meant, but those of us who did cracked up and it become somewhat of an inside joke. | Deuce | ||

| Last Ditched Effort | I came up with this one night when my band was looking to get a new bass player and we went threw like 8 or 9 dudes. We got a call tell us someone knew a dude that was real good and could rip s***, so we all decided that this was our last ditched effort to get a bass player and if it didn't go good then the other guitarist would play bass. Besides its an old saying that can apply to a lot of things. | Vercetti Jones | ||
| The Last Frontier Of 'Error Man' | I (brownie) came up with this one, attempting to make a connection to band names such as And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, Queens Of The Stone Age. (Highly acclaimed bands tend to have strange elaborate names) | Brownie & Twinkle Toes | ||

| Lead Based Paint | I was talking with a couple of friends, then one of them said something stupid, so we kept telling him to stop eating lead paint chips. Out of nowhere, it hits me: Lead Based Paint would be a name, especially for something like a punk rock band. | TJ | ||
| Lead Fudge Nipple | we were at the mall and friendly's or somebody had an advertisement for an "Iced Fudge Ripple" and we were at a distance and my friend was like, "dude, does that say 'lead fudge nipple'??" and im like no, but that would be a sweet band name! | justin | ||

We came up with a couple that said "this thing's no darn use to anyone!!" Others were: Burnin' Fire-escape ... like, yeah, where you gonna go now!! MT Canne (empty can) ... not even a drop of cola left! SoapSliver ... that tiny piece that just breaks in your hand and doesn't even foam. Dead Budgie ... well, you get the idea. | eastcoastjac | ||
| Leap Of Faith | A common term used to explain how mankind understands and excepts the existence of God; and the same explanation used by Darwinist to explain their illogical belief in the 145 year-old unproven "theory" of evolution. But a really cool name for a band too. This I know because it was my groups name about 4 years ago. We went with it because we all agreed for our band to sign on a label. We needed to show a strong leap of faith that it would happen. Whoops! I guess some things were never meant to be. | Raphiel D'angel | ||
| leathal lepraCONS | i was watchin that leprachaun movie with ice t then watch leathal weapon and then watched con air and mixed them together | rob | ||
| The Leave Its | it comes from the phrase "Take it or Leave it" & could be a punk-emo type band that would play at the Warped Tour. would be a kickin hard-ass girl band, though. | iheartjimmyfallon | ||
| Leaving South Hampton | No, I'm not from South Hampton, I know there's "The Hamptons", in Florida but I'm not even sure theres a "South Hampton" but it has nothing to do with that me and my friend were thinkin of names and he lives in a neighborhood called "West Gate" and he hates it so he said "Leaving West Gate?" I was bored so i was lookin at a map and as he said it I saw Hampton and i said "what about Leaving Hampton" I kinda liked the west in west gate but decided on south instead... it's a name you either embrace and fall in love with or immediatly reject and hate it. | Tyler | ||
| The Lectroids | Several bands got names from sci-fi properties (Nerf Herder from "Star Wars", T'Pau from "Star Trek", Eve 6 from "The X-Files", and of course, Duran Duran from "Barbarella") so why not a name from "Buckaroo Banzai"? | Brian Kelly | ||
| Left Foot Green | Inspired by one of the most challenging Twister maneuvers ever. Advantage: The abbreviation LFG just rolls off the tongue. | K | ||
| Left Hand Man | When a Mob boss needs someone to turn to, he goes to his right hand man. But when he needs someone killed for him, he goes to his left hand man. So my friends and I thought that would be a good name, because we're all kinda homicidal! [Ed.'s note: Speak for yourself!] | Drollive | ||
| Left On Green | because It's a common used direction and people would think of it often and that would make good sales. | charlene | ||

| Left Ventricle | It's the most powerful chamber of the heart. | Super D | ||
| Leftover Acetamide | I was sitting in Chem class one day, looking through the chemicals...And Acetamide just sounded cool. It's kind of a rip-off of Leftover Crack. | marisa | ||
| Leftovers | When my band split up me and the bass player decided to form an acoustic act. This was an option that almost made it. | Don Christensen | ||
| The Leftovers | i think it would be cool for a band that was just thrown together, because everyone wanted to be famous. I told it my band, but they toosed it out the door, so maybe someone elses can use it! :0) | Amanda Lee | ||
| Leg Crabs | My friend said she had leg CRAMPS, but I had mistaken what she said for leg crabs. Thought it'd be a good band name. | Junior | ||
| LegBreakerz | Since im a Breaker-slang for breakdancer- I thought this would be a tite b-boy-breaker- Krew name. I was also thinking about------> Neck Breakerzzz | Daniel | ||
| Legendary Power of the Magikarp | Not only does it show that the band isn't going to just bash pokemon, but the fact that they are talking about a magikarp's power(Magikarp being well-known as probably the weakest and most pathetic pokemon.), shows how weird they are. | birdboy2000 | ||
| The Lemmings | lemmings are little weasel-like critters who hurl themselves off cliffs by the thousands (or is it dozens?) each year, simply because of their follow-the-leader-herd-mentality. people are lemmings and any band with enough insight to label themselves as such would completely and thoroughly kick a**.... wouldn't they? i'd like to think that they would. | mary jane | ||
| Lemon Ninja Chickens | It's cool because it's the 3 coolest things around: lemons, chickens and Ninjas. Also, I thought as a debut album, you could have songs about them invading. For short, you can say LNC. I came up with it because of various in jokes with my friends and my love of these 3 things. Plus no one else would think of it. | Paris | ||
| Lemons Made of Wood | I was sitting in math class and some of my friends were talking and one of them said made of wood just as I said Lemons | Alien7 | ||
| LEMyT | It simply is an acronym of Les Enfantes Miserables y Terribles!!! | dyess | ||
| Lendl's Magic Wand | This came to me in a dream when Ivan Lendl was still a struggling tennis player. I drempt that my sister, (who hates most sports) was saying it (and approving of it) in a conversatiom with a friend. The "magic wand" is, of course, his tennis racquet. | sport | ||
| Lenin & The Bolsheviks | I was talking about Communism in Russia and the Revolutions of 1917 (as you do) & came out with this phrase, I thought it sounded pretty cool as a band name. My friends however, didn't. | trevster2905 | ||
| The Lennon Complex | Every guy in a band wants to be John Lennon, just so they can have an Asian girlfriend (only works if the guy is white), like I did | Danny | ||
| Leon's Pee-ons | Leon is the gay manager played by Martin Mull in "Roseanne". The "pee-ons" are a tribute to working class folks like you and me. | newschool | ||
| Leon's Schedule | In a recent sales meeting, someone commented that the date of a pending lunch with a prospective client would "depend on Leon's Schedule." Since that moment, I've been walking around the office screaming, "Ladies and gentlemen, let's have a nice round of applause for 'LEON'S SCHEDULE!'." Not sure why... | dc | ||
