Names -> Cool Band Names -> M, 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 M are split into multiple pages: 1 2 3 4 5

The Mango's Revenge Originated as a joke between me and my friends. The mangoes, I said, were sick of being eaten and wanted revenge. After we lost interest in the Fruit Wars, I thought it might make a cool band name. Princess Ana
