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

My brother suggested Mango and Hulk Poop, since Mango and Hulk just didn't sound good enough. | Loni | ||
