Names -> Cool Band Names -> M, Page 2
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 6
Name | Origin | Submitted by: | ||
| Married Then Buried | because its from the song cotton eye joe, rae thought it said buried and i knew i t said married, so it wounds cool | rae and v dawg | ||
| Marshalsea | This is the 13th word on the 666th page of the Oxford Dictionary. We though it was cool. So we are using it for our band, but were spelling it like (Marshalc)!! | Marky101 | ||
| Marta Arnau Marti | A :Wumpscut: song. I just like the sound of it. | bleurgh | ||
| Martians Wearing Make-up | I was thinking of band names myself and was thinking of strange mixtures, and I came up with this strange punk name | NiAlL BiD | ||
| Marty And The Chucks | I got "The Chucks" from Chuck Taylor shoes and well... Marty is the only name that goes well with that..regardless if there is a Marty in the band,,,like "Hootie and The Blowfish" (there was no Hootie) The whole band can wear different ChuckTaylor shoes | Homer ANderson | ||
| MaryTylerMorphine | Tired of Mary Tyler Moore? Wish you had morphine for all the pain shes ever caused you. Punk music that redifines the fine medicine for young delequents and anti-socialists for the new mellinium. | Van | ||
| MaryTylerMorphine | Tired of Mry Tyler Moore? Wish you had morphine for all the pain shes ever called you. Punk music that redifines the fine medicine for young delequents and anti-socialists for the new mellinium. | Van | ||
| Mashed Potatoes | it's something you wouldn't normally expect it for a band name. It's different, besides, who doesn't love mashed potatoes? mmm..so tastey! | i don't remember | ||
| Masochistic Muze | I came up with this title while thinking of what most bands get their inspiration or muze is. Most bands sing about harming themselves wich is masochistic, hence Masochistic Muze. | Patrick Showalter | ||
| Mass Effect | It's the name of an upcoming video game, and I thought the name sounded like a killer name for a band. | Shawn Jordan | ||
| Massacre of Innocence | Refers to some biblical guy that tried to kill all the babies in the world to stop Jesus. | Matryshoka | ||
| Massive Ocular Trauma | MoT is actually (well, I think- I'm making things up as I go, kay?) the medical term for getting an eyeball torn out. It'd play gothic lounge music, possibly Visual Kei. | Pretty Little PONY | ||
| MASSIW | Most Annoying Sound In The World... it cleary is a metal band name... and of course it comes from Dumb & Dumber | Mr. Moon | ||
| Masta/MC Syko | either Masta or MC for a rapper Syko pronounced Psycho with an accent over the "O" my nickname used to be Psyco b/c my friends were just playing around and was kidding but I liked the sound now if I ever go pro in the music business I'll take that nickname | MC Syko | ||
| The Master Baiters | I like it 'cause it sounds cool. I heard a joke with this as the punchline. Why not a band name? | Mo | ||
| Master Bei Chung | It sounds like masterbation. Also a good name for an actor wanting to film pornographic martial arts films. | chong | ||
| Master Blaster | me n my bro were bored and suddenly we heard this big explosion downstairs n my bro exclaimed " thats a master blaster". thats when it struck me, that wud be a pretty cool name for a band | GOOPATH | ||
| Master Plunger | It's cool cause this guy I used to hang out with in High School made it up by noticing a Master lock while he was taking a dump and then noticing the toilet plunger next to him and got Master Plunger. I wasn't in the bathroom with him, he told me how it would make a good name for our band after he finished taking the dump. | hyzershot | ||
| Master Tiger | ELVIS' KARATE NICKNAME, HE WAS A BLACKBELT | ANDY | ||
| Master Volume | I was talking about a band called Gain with a friend. We were wondering if they had got it from an amp. We started coming out with different settings on an amp, and I really liked Master Volume. | PaulCFC | ||
| Masters Of Muppets | Well, inspired by the Metallica's song "Master of Puppets". Could be a cool coverband or anything really. [Ed.'s note: Only if the Muppet name isn't infringed upon.] | Einar | ||
| Masticating Jailbait | Yeah, this just kinda happened. Doesn't it sound awesome? | Jake R | ||
| Matchy y Clashy | My friend and I were talking about our fashion styles and I was saying how I sometimes like to match and sometimes clash. She said, "Wow, matchy y clashy" (using the "y" as in the Spanish "and" of course)... and the name was born. | Alex | ||
| Math Debate | an old joke in school...in english we were talking about some mathematical process, and it was like, 1/5 of the class versus 4/5 of the class, and my friend Jason says 'i want a math debate!' and it sounded like he said 'i wanna masturbate!' ^_^; | Sarah-neko | ||
| Math Eating Cows | I wish I had a pet cow that ate my HW. Don't you? I know, Iknow... it sucks | Evan | ||
| Matt Dillon's Underwear | This is Boy George's answer when he was asked by a magazine what would he want to be reincarnated as. I guess he meant the actor, not the marshal from "Gunsmoke". (Kinda of like when Prince Charles told Camilla Parker-Bowles he wanted to be her tampon. Equally gross.) | britrock | ||
| Mavalier | My friend's favorate basketball team is the Cleveland Cavaliers and my favorite basketball team is the Dallas Mavericks and some how we messed around with it and it ended up being Mavalier so that is cool. I hope you guys like it! | Jake Davenport | ||
| Max and the Black Firecrackers | i looked at my kodak MAX camera and this pot i made in are which the glaze was supposed to be BLACK and FIRECRACKER. | Jen | ||
| Max Speedy Artistic | Sounds cultured and cool | YASMR | ||
| Maxilla | Okay. It's the word for the bones forming the jaw. Just sounds really neat. Kinda like "Maximum Godzilla." Also not a bad name. | Chuck Fensch | ||
| Maximum Llamas | I mentioned Feast of Maximum Occupancy to my brother, and being the little weirdo he is, he promptly yelled "Maximum Llamas!" I laughed. | Kryojenik | ||
| Maximum Of Destruction | It was a monster truck name. | phone | ||
| Maxine Martindale and The Midnight Minstrels | I was just making up band names and came up with Midnight Minstrels. But I decided they needed a singer with a name. I wanted it to be alliterative. So I came up with Maxine Martindale. I don't really know anyone with that name, it's just totally made up. I like it because it's alliterative. I imagine they'd either be a soft-rock or light R&B band. But I think it's a really great name for a band. | Edward | ||
| Maxwell Ramfist | just a made up name... sounds like someone trying to be a bad ass | DanEnterprises | ||
| May Contain Nuts | Because it's something you hear quite often. But when you think about it, it's quite funny because it's saying that the band "might contain nuts"! Get it? | Matt | ||
| May Contain Peanuts | It's on all the packaging. That's a h*** of a lot o' free advertising! | CHRIS pyrdsa | ||
| May of Lalaland | Usually, I just sit in class twirling my hair, so all my friends call me May of Lalaland! If your music is just fun and cute, it would be perfect. | May May | ||
| Mayday | It's like you're rocking so hard, that you make planes come down. [Ed.'s note: Hopefully, that'll never happen.] | jeff griffin | ||
| Mayonaisse Initiation Feast | I came up with this name because I heard about a few of my friends that had to eat a grotesque mayo cuisine to join the basketball team, which was thought-up by the seniors. It just has a nice ring to it. | TYLER | ||
| Mayonnaise Initiation Feast | I got the idea from some idiot who couldn't spell. [Ed.'s note: See TYLER's entry for "Mayonaisse Initiation Feast".] | Itchy | ||
| MC Escher | M.C. are the graphic artist's actual initials, so it sounds like a standard hip-hop handle. It would be a hard name to live up to, though. | Schweitzito | ||
| MCI Robot | I was trying to think of something cool to add to the site. And I was watching tv and a commercial came on for MCI long distance. And it clicked with me. It's from the MCI long distance thing, and a (I believe) Asimov scifi novel, I Robot. You combine the 2 and get this. I think they could be real techno funk, lots of synthesizers and drum machines and stuff. And do stuff like lots of 80s bands did where the singer would sing into one of those things that changed their voice and sound really robotic or otherworldly. | Ed | ||
| McKolk Pfeffermenn And The Everflushing Toilets | this is a combonation of an incident at sea cadets (The Everflushing Toilets) and a guy a made up in NBA 99 (McKolk Pfeffermenn) and it sounds punk. | hamp | ||
| McLuvin | I was watching this movie called "superbad" and the guy was getting a fake i.d and his name was just Mcluvin.. So i was like, cool. | Porsche | ||
| Me And My Plastic Jesus | i was in my car and was lookin at my little plastic jesus thingy on my dashboard and i was like......JESUS IS COOL!!! so i came up with this one | kevin | ||
| Meager Portions | They are the coolest christian punk band ever. They over heard there bother who is like really smart say it once and it stuck. They have a dog named Mr. Baskem and they helped me name my frog Mr. Wubbles. | Spunkylatino | ||
| Mean Guitar | My mom and I heard that song "Tubthumping" in a store. We messed up the lyrics: We thought they were "I got no job, but I get over it 'cause I play a mean guitar." I later thought that would be a really awesome band name. | Rockette | ||
| The Mean Seething Angry Marsupials | My mom and I were at the pet shop and we were looking at a sugar glider, and it was making freaky possesed noises and my mom said it was a mean seething angry marsupial. | Korin | ||
| Meandered Minds | i got the word meander from an incubus song... it means not straight or curvy.. haha.... so... unstraight minds | jazzy | ||
| The Meaning of Life | My favourite Monty Python movie. Would look great on a marquee. Of course, your milage may vary. I'd love to listen to the Knights Who Say Ni, or perhaps The People's Front of Judea. | Chris | ||
| The Meat Eating Allison's | We were playing a game. The goal was to come up with a name of a band using one of the players. Allison was a "vegetarian"....yeah! | Josh Clark | ||
| The Meat Sweats | Not exactly a paragon of cool, the show Friends nonetheless popularized the idea of the meat sweats when dim-bulb Joey tried to eat an entire turkey. As a band name, it's a natural for some aspiring No-Wave group. | Jason Reeher | ||
| Mechanical Afterbirth | It just sounds like an industrial / death metal band. Plus, it's gross and stuff. | Jason Reeher | ||
| Mechanically Separated Chicken | Seen as primary ingredient on a "potted meat product" (SPAM spinoff) in a gas station convienence store. | DeBee | ||
| Meconium | This is the term used for a newborn baby's first bowel movement, which is usually a sticky, tarry mess. It sounds like a death/thrash metal band to me | Ed | ||
| The Medicated Mormon Muggers | Yeah the can be an uderground Indie group with a solid cult fanbase playing in rave clubs in Salt Lake. | badboybear | ||
| The Mediocres | From Who's Line is it Anyway, one of those CD informercials they were doing, a ripoff of the Supremes, The Mediocres! Okay, Colin Mochrie might get on your case but is money an object? | Cel-Chan | ||
| Medulla Oblingotta | You know what I'm talking about if you've seen "The Waterboy". Sounds like Emo-type band to me. | Junior | ||
| Medusa and the Gorgon Sisters | The snakes in Medusa's hair could sing back-up...;-) | Rachel | ||
| Mega White Thing | This is, of course, a line from Underworld's song "Born slippy". I found it very catchy, although I actually don't think it would make a "cool" band name anymore... (KKK On Tour??) | FaultyDog | ||
| Megabitch | I think that this would be a cool name for an all-girl punk or metal band (it's tongue-in-cheek but has a lot of power too.) | pat | ||
| Meglomania | Well, I was searching through a dictionary and saw "Megalomania". It's a mental disease or disorder, that branches off of paranoia. So, I was like this would be an awesome band name. I just took the A out, and it became Meglomania. [Ed.'s note: Megalomania is actually the love or craving of power.] | Zach | ||
| Mein Kampf | It's German, and translated, it means "my struggle." It's also the name of a book that Adolf Hitler wrote in prison. | sarah | ||
| Mel Tormented & The Comfort Station | I grew up listening to jazz and as a teen got into punk, so this was going to be my 3 piece coverband that did jazz songs punk style & punk songs jazz style. "Mel Tormented" is a pun on the name, "Mel Torme", Mel's band "comfort station" sounds like a typical lounge-jazz name but is really a pseudonym for an outdoor toilet,AKA a brick Sh*thouse. Bandmate names were to be "George Fearing" instead of "George Shearing" and "Cleo Pained" instead of "Cleo Lane". I told a bunch of musicians this joke and they loved so much they said they wanted to steal it. so for all I know, this band may now actually exist. | Testika Filch Milquetoast | ||
| The Melancholics | The name of the band is totaly different than the lyrics in their music believe me these guys and gals aren't anything like the whinning EMO'S!!! | nextisa | ||
| Melisma | Purely because I was sitting in music class thinking 'The Stereophonics took their name from a musical concept, so why can't I?' So I chose the term melismatic and shortened it. I think it's pretty cool! | Wee Doda | ||
| Mello Felloez | The cool thing is this would be, as a heavy metal or gansta' rap band, the direct opposite of the group's demeanor. (Pronounced "Mellow Fellows") | jorje | ||
| The Mellow D's | That one's been taken, boys, a simple internet search will easily validate that fact. We've been around long enough to become members of America's Old-Time Country Music Hall of Fame! Please remove our name, The Mellow D's, from your list. [Ed.'s note: Sorry, guys! Chuck, our webmaster, is the only person that can remove previous entries. Good luck with him.] | Larry Doran | ||
| The Mellow D's | There is a restaurant in my town called mellow d's. Melody is a music word, so Mellow D's sounds cool. | Tara | ||
| Mellow Dramatic | Just a better way of saying melodramatic.... | Miss Manners | ||
| The Melody Jean | I came up with the name while talking to one of my friends online. Her name was Melody and it sounds Melodic and her last name is Jean, and it just sounded perfect for the band. F.Y.I. It's a Metal band. | Kanon Autry | ||
| Melophobic Testosterone Injections | This is my band name, I came up with it. Melophobia is the fear or hatred of music. And we're manly men, or at least I am out of all the members. Its funny, Ok? | DJ C-Lo | ||
| Members Sold Separately | I was just thinking about those commercials for dolls where the annonoucer say, 'Accessories (or other dolls) sold separately'. How about a band where there's only one or two members, and the rest of the band is 'sold separately'? | band name | ||
| The Membrains | I got the idea from Invader Zim. Profeser Membrain. | Your wors nightmare | ||
| Men At Play | I always kinda thought the bands members from MEN AT WORK were kinda gay, so... ....self explanitory... | Jo-Jo-Mo-Hoe | ||
| Men in Black | the members of our band all wear black suits whenever we have a gig. we thought it was pretty original since that is something that no one our age does, since we're 15, 16, and 17. | Brett | ||
| Men in Fat | So like 2 days ago I was at my friend's B-day party at an indoor pool in a hotel, so when our fat a**es took off our shirts his dad started singing to the Men in Black tune, "Here come the Men in Fat!" | wadded beef | ||
| Men in Skirts | Ever seen that Turn off the Light Nelly Furatado video? They'd make a great band. Inside joke with my friends. | Joy Gerhardt | ||
| Men Without Hats | I love the Safety Dance! one question, though. What happened to their hats? | jillbob | ||
| Men Without Pants | What's so cool about men without hats? This is what people want to see. | Matt | ||
| Menacing Cabbages | A friends of mine once said "menacing I am! a cabbage I am not!" Sounds like what Radiohead SHOULD be called 'cos they sound like raging cabbages. | Dave Stringer | ||
| Menacrest | Kinda' stupid but worth telling...My dad had told me to go take a shower and brush my teeth but whiule I was in there I saw the name on the crest tube after i had seen the word s a men so i fixed it up a but and got Menacrest. | Alf | ||
| Meniscus | Heard it in science class years and tears ago. If you hold a test tube of water or liquid up to eye level, menicus is the little cresent shape that the surface tension on the liquid creates. | Mikey | ||
| Menkkamaha | it's finnish and means the phenomenon when your stomach turns all bloating and sore during your periods. Planning to perform under this name (e.g.U2 hits translated into finnish, in punk versions..huge succes ahead) | Riina | ||
| Mennonite Mutilators | My friend helped me come up with this because we go to a Pacifist school. We HATE it! | Phillip | ||
| Mental Pause | You hit menopause and your mind starts to go. | IHaveNoBrain | ||
| Mentally Molested | I was listening to the song "Mind" by System of a Down; and one of the lines says, "Mutually mentally molested children of sin". Another cool name would be Children of Sin. But yeah, I just came up with that right now, and I thought it was cool. | randa | ||
| Mentally Perky | My friend Tressa was really hyper in school, and she said she had been tired earlier in the day, and I said "Well, now you're perky again." She replied "No, I've been perky all day. I've been mentally perky." I thought it would be a cool band name, and she agreed... | amanda | ||
| Mentally Unprepared | It'd be kewl... especially if all the songs were like, about deep stuff... It'd be a total oxymoron | Tiajuana | ||
| Menthrass | It's cool becuase it sounds like some rare drug or something. I came up with it by trying to write "rape" in the AIM window while my friend was messing around with the keyboard. [Ed.'s note: Sounds like Cah could be on some Menthrass. (J.K. :)] | Cah | ||
| Menukanuva | me and my friend were watcing a skate video called menikmati, but he misread it and said menukanuva ' | modern | ||
| Mephistophelean | I was searchin the dictionary when it caught my eye. It means fiendish or the devil in German history. | roy g. biv | ||
| Mercenary Priests | A juxtaposition of the spiritual and the good with the harsh and the dangerous. Works for me... | John Petrino | ||
| Mercury Drug | Mercury Drug is the name of a local pharmacy in the Philippines. | SKYe | ||
| Mercy Flush | Inside joke between me and my mother. It sounds completely serious until you stop to think about it. | Zach | ||
| Mercy On Your Soul | When you did something bad, an adult may say "may God have mercy on your soul!". If you think about it, Mercy On your Soul is an awesome band name. | Aly McGugan | ||
| Merit Dr. | A street where the entire band lived.... Makes sense, thats where it happens. | Matt Selou | ||
| The Mersyla | It's one of those "The"...band names... and Mersyla is a cool name. So it fits in to the indie, powerpop, and melodic punk genre(s). | Trevor | ||
| Meryl Strips | the actress meryl streep (just my dirty mind roaming) | MC'filth | ||
| Meserker | It's a Polish folk dance. | Walter Pickett |
