Names -> Cool Band Names -> L, Page 4

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.

Loan Of God Well I was thinking of a band name and was talking to my friend, who said that he didn't believe in God. I said, "What? If it werent for God, we wouldn't be here." Wait a minute. I thought God loaned us life, so Loan of God. mikey tacklin
LobeHold I was brainstorming for the name of my band (which I haven't come up with), and this came up. It's a combination of Lo and Behold. I liked it, so I added it to our list of names. Greg
The Lobes A name that has something to do with the ear, which you need to listen to music. Owen Money
Lobster Chicken Someone's misheard line from Al Stewart's song "Year Of The Cat". It's weird. Farrah Fawcett-Minors

Local Emergency Well I was helping out my friends Band and he needed a name and right when i was thinking about one, an ambulence drove by and the name just went into my head! Amy L.
Location of Violation Me and some friends were sakteboarding in LOVE park (in philadelhpia) when we came out a cop caught us because it is illegal to skate there and gave us tickets and when i got mine it said the location of violation was LOVE and my dad said it sounded like a band name Tom
LockJAW It just came to me after I woke up half-fried with a bull nest up my a. Ned
A Logo But No Name That was the name of my band. We had a logo, but no name. It's a nice oxymoron. Dom 'Toast'
The Loitering Committee I came up with this idea, because i live in the most boring city in the US, so i thought what else was there to do besides loitering? (BTW this is the name of a band i'll be making) Eric Anger
LOKI When staying in a hotel, the band picked up the bible, and looked for the angel of death, who happened to be named loki. They thought it was a cool name, but thought nothing of it. Then they decided they decided they needed a little "hardcore action", but since no one would sell them porn, they decided WWF was enough, and there was a low card wrestler named Low-Ki. They then put in Dogma a few hours later, and behold, another character named Loki. It finally sunk in, and the band got the name Loki. (They are from Iowa, a few from Iowa City, and a few from Marion). Andrew

The Lol What? Lol What? G

London Holiday It just works Natalie
Lone Standing It's hecka sweet, am I right? There was an inspirational poster in my 6th grade reading class that read, "Stand up for what's right, even if you're standing alone." So, Lone Standing came about. Grace S.

Lonesome Guitars In my whacky childhood, I somehow picked up on notions that both "lonesome" and "guitar" were somehow "dirty" words. So in my effort to exorcise those whacky childhood demons, I offer this band name, using those words. Lydia Idyl
Long And Wild Because we're long and wild and it's our last names put together and it's suggestive Brandon and Jacob
Long Road Ahead We like it because it will be the begining of our long road to making good music again. Chris
Long Story Short The American storytellers idiom has always been "...anyway, to make a long story short.." So this is a natural phrase everyone of the sit-com era understands. (Oy-ava) Ju Ju Magoo

The Loogie Nuts A play on 'lug nuts', which are attached to a bolt on a car's axle. These are actually quite insane groupers that love to spit "loogies" or hockers in the audience. Gross, but effective.  bandname
Look, Ma, No Hands! I thought of this when my little brother was riding his bicycle and he shouted, "Look, Ma, no hands!" when he removed his hands from the handle bars. Shortly after he fell and broke his wrist. I thought, this would be an interesting band name, and it could symbolize trying to go on your own but doing it the wrong way. Alezee Jay
The Lookers.  JoJoLoner

Loose Women It's a British show that is similar to America's The View. There is a British band called The View, so why not an American band called Loose Women. JeReMy
Lord of the Motorized This name is cool because if you picture a lord on his own, it's not that good. But if you picture a lord surrounded by MOTORIZED appliances or objects, well....there you go! I came up with this name when me and my mates started a band and they asked me "What shall we call ourselves"? I replied "Lord of the Motorized, 'ave that!" Jumbofallice
The Lord of the Wings My friend referred to a guy she knew at this pizza place as "The Lord of the Wings", merely being sarcastic because he'd asked her out so many times.She'd said something to the effect of "I'd reather make out with a flaming Orc than the Lord of the Wings there!" after we'd seen the movie "Lord of the Rings". I thought it was kinda cool. Mazotti
Lord Ravioli And The Penny People Cuz I didn't make my basketball team and I looked at the sheet and it had this guy named Ravi on it so I said ''and the winners are Lord Ravioli And The Penny People'' then i thought ''Oh my god that could be the name of a band'' it isn't good though.  hamp

Losing Hypnosis It's like when you're hypnotized you feel less pain and emotion. But when you're not, you're in pain. So pretty much it means you're coming back to all of your senses. Kelly
Lost and Forgotten Like everyone in our band were outsiders, no one really cared about us. One of us was like "Dude, if we were like, gone, no one would even remember us. " So I was like "I got it!" and came up with Lost and Forgotten. I personally think it sounds awesome. David
Lost and Found Because the good music has been lost for the last years, and it will be found again in your band. arturo
Lost Angeles When I was (a lot) younger, I somehow got it in my head that Los Angeles was actually called Lost Angeles. I was only three or four at the time, so nobody bothered to correct me, and of course I went on believing it for years. I suppose the spelling could be squidged around some to hint at interesting things... Lost Angel(e)s, etc... Jehedra
Lost Captain of a Sunken Ship Honestly I love this name. My friends and I were having one of our infamous bull sessions and I brought up the topic of what if we started an emo inflicted post-hardcore band. We were like "yeah and perform during Warped Tour" and crap like that. Then we said we would need a name and thus Lost Captain of a Sunken Ship was born. Now I'm needing members. It's just me so far, the others flaked on me. XD Emily

Louis Napoleon DeGaulle For "une bande française." It contains thre famous French leaders' names: Louis XIV, Napoleon Bonaparte, and Charles DeGaulle. Alan the Ottoman
Lovable Wet Fool It's cool just because it is really random. I thought of it by just rearranging existing words. I rearranged 'we love football' to get the name. jake
Love Agnostic Would be great for a band similar to The Cure or New Order. Thought of it while e-mailing a friend, contemplating (after a bad breakup) whether there really is such a thing as true love. Dulcinea78
Love Albatross A friend and I were at a gift shop and he jumped off a small ledge with this bird-hat thing on and said "I'm the love albatross, baby".  Cait

Love House Hi! To me this is a good name for a progressive rock band.The band message is:Make love (@ Love House) not war!  Aleks
Love the Bomb Comes from Dr. Strangelove, or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. Thought it looked cool, but also has the meaning of loving (or at least not fearing) that which can destroy or otherwise harm you in some way.  Jon P.
Love's Drug I just came up with this one today. I was checking out Billboard.com, I always do for the latest music news. And there was a headline about Courtney Love and her drug possession trial. I misread it at first and thought it was about a band called Love's Drug. Because the headline started Love's drug trial or something. And I just thought it sounded very very cool. I imagine they would be a band that was something in the style of the late Robert Palmer, hard rock with some stylish undertones. I think it's a shame there isn't a band out there with that name, it's that cool. Ed
Love's Rejects I think theis band name is cool because, it makes us sound hated and rejected--so much that it will attract people to listen. John

Loved Death Memoir Seriously I just thought it sounded cool when I thought it up.... It's literal translation could mean That someone had an Important life, but was cut off by either death or something otherwise, then you are reading their life story. Metaphorically it could mean that You are reading or listening into our lives, our very souls. We may all be destined for death, but the music within us will live on in the people who enjoy our creations. Josh
The Lovely Broken I thought that this might be cool for a girl band. This was something that just came to me because I was thinking about how some people can be "Broken", but how at the same time they're not JUST "Broken". (If that makes any sense at all) Anyways, I came to thinking about this all because of a conversation that I had with my friend. BunnyKiller
Lovestruck Wardrobe The name of my band when at school ...so corny it's cool...well it was the 80's!!!!! If anyone can find a use for it feel free. Law?????
Low Battery and the Chargers I was playing a "name that tune" game. There were two teams, and I was looking at my iPod. Disappointed because I couldn't use it for the game because it had low battery, I figured that would be a cool band (and team) name. Sam

Low I.Q. From an episode of "Nash Bridges" where they go after a group of modern-day pirates. They get pictures of the perps but not names, so Harvey comes up with some. He calls one guy "Low IQ" because he doesn't look too bright. Brian Kelly
Low Profile A cool punk band name which would prevent anyone from becoming a trendy mainstream band for the fact that they are "low profile" and stay true to the underground punk rock scene. jarod
Low S.O. From the Rollins Band song, "Low Self Opinion", where Henry Rollins tries to talk someone out of committing suicide. At the end, he sings the abbreviated version of the song title. punk
