Names -> Cool Band Names -> M, Page 3
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 Beginning with M, Page 3
Entries starting with M are split into multiple pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Name | Origin | Submitted by: | ||
| 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 | ||
| Meatbull Dingo | My favorite character from "Blinky Bill". | Mike | ||
| 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 | ||
| Meconium Inhalation | Quite possibly one of the most amazing death metal/ thrash metal band names never used why the hell had no one used this name or hell even written a song about this meconium inhalation: is a medical condition affecting newborn infants. It occurs when meconium is present in their lungs during or before delivery. Meconium is the first stool of an infant, composed of materials ingested during the time the infant spends in the uterus. Meconium is normally stored in the infant's intestines until after birth, but sometimes (often in response to fetal distress) it is expelled into the amniotic fluid prior to birth, or during labor. If the baby then inhales the contaminated fluid, respiratory problems may occur. | clown5336 | ||
| Medical Implosion | I was sat in my history class and we're studying medicine through time. Anyways, my teacher started going on about how medical advances collapsed in on themselves before the Black Death. I got me thinking, Medicine. Medical. Collapse. Implosion maybe? | Lizzy | ||
| 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 | ||
| The Meer | I really like this name a lot. It sounds better with "The" in front. | Brionna Secret | ||
| Meer | It's really mere. | chootha | ||
| Meerkat Zest | This name just popped up in my head. It sounds cool | The Mole | ||
| Meeting in Mensroom | It came from Wrongfully Accused. Leslie Nielsen's character was trying to escape from prison (his character was wrongfully accused, hence the name of the movie) but he was trying to come up with his fake identity and where he was going with places in a fishing shop he was in. His cover-up for where he was going was a "meeting in the Mensroom" (as in Men's room) | JeReMy | ||
| 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 | ||
| Mei Long | It sounds like someone's name. But actually it is the name of a dinosaur. | Ned MacCamden | ||
| 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 | ||
| Mellow Dramatic | Just a better way of saying melodramatic.... | Miss Manners | ||
| Mellow Enzyme Horses | I was laying in bed, in uneasy sleep with heartburn. Before I woke up enough to know what was happening and elevate my head and take an acid reducer, a song was droning through my head in my half dream state. The main repeated words to the song that I can remember were "mellow enzyme horses". | Tess O. Gosset | ||
| Mellow Peril | A band for those who claim smoking pot is dangerous. | RevengeFromMars YouTube | ||
| 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 | ||
| Melted Air | It's just something I made up. It just sounds cool and makes for a cool visual. Even though we all know air can't melt! | Edward | ||
| 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 | ||
| Memento Demori | It is "Remember the deaths" in Italian. Its what friends and family put on so called witches graves in Salem. It was my band name, but not anymore. | JonnyRiot | ||
| 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 of Medusa | Yea, they all turn to stone and she likes it | Ted Stone | ||
| 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 | ||
| Menstral Explosion | It's just a funny name I heard someone say. | Trevor Wilson | ||
| Menstrual Monster | A friend of mine once said this, I think it’s pretty funny | Mark | ||
| Mental Caries | "Dental Caries" is tooth decay. So Mental Caries must be... | RevengeFromMars YouTube | ||
| Mental Origami | It just popped into my head. | Odie Garfield | ||
| Mental Pause | You hit menopause and your mind starts to go. | IHaveNoBrain | ||
| Mental Warfare | My friend thought a this one doing homework. He was like,"This home is like mental warfare". This is now our band name. | Anon Jamels | ||
| 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 13 | I have this strange fascination with the element mercury and i just saw the number 13 somewhere | etemma | ||
| 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 | ||
| Mere Cat Manners | When i was a little kid, not knowing what a meerkat was, i used to think that Meerkat Manor was a show about actual cats. | Breanna Julie | ||
| The Mere Kats | A pun on the African animal. | wonka bar | ||
| Merit Dr. | A street where the entire band lived.... Makes sense, thats where it happens. | Matt Selou | ||
| Mermaids' Socks | Something that would have no reason to exist (even if mermaids were real). | Regina Haniger | ||
| 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 | ||
| Mesmereyes | A real cool band for those with striking eyes. | deepdarkme | ||
| Messed Up Minds | This one (like 10,000,000,000,000,000 others) just came to me. | SamVK | ||
| Metal Air Baloon | Cause it has a referance to Led Zepplin, and its one of those names that just stick in your head after hearing it,I figured thats what I'm gonna name my band. | Dillverick | ||
| Metal Health | This, just kind of from mental health and something we thought of just trying to think of something to name our band | JALA | ||
| Metal Hungry | i was just thinking, and whenever im bored, i just wanna rock. Its kinda like a craving for drugs or sumthin. im a drummer, and u cant play the drums at any time. so sometimes when wanna play, u cant ,u gotta wait,so the craving gets stronger.well theres how i thought of this band name. | Ryan morse-i luv katie thomas | ||
| Metal Ice | It's real catchy and band names don't need to make sense. Say the name a lot of times and it will sound really cool then! | Aoife (sounds Like Eefa) It's Irish | ||
| Metal In The Microwave | I was watching this science show when someone put light globes in a microwave. [Ed.'s note: Don't try this at home.] | casey | ||
| Metal of Honor | Great name for a metal band | JeReMy | ||
| Metal Slime | Named after the recurring creature from the "Dragon Warrior" games. I'd imagine they'd sound similar to Staind or Puddle of Mudd, with a name like that... | Olvan The Terrible | ||
| Metal Up Your A** | Well, Metallica didn't use this, so it's public domain now! | GlamRockNinjaLord | ||
| Metal Urinal | Great name for a spoof metal band! | 7 string les | ||

| The Metalheart | there is this band Accept that has this album thats called metalheart and then i tought it was a great band name | tony andre' | ||
| Metalic Acid | I was trying to think of a Metallica kind of band, but with more of a punk feel to it. First I thought of Metallica on Acid, but then I just shortened it. | Zach | ||
| Metalic Fire | I just came up with this on the ride home when some dude in a monster truck pulled up behind with metal flames on front and painted on colored flames above on truck. | wLvZ aLl RoUnD | ||
| Metallic Interferance | Its like metal...interfering with something you want.Or someone else wants. I was thinking of metallica and this popped up. | Ivan | ||
| The Metallicas | The Metallicas could be a cover Metallica band | Chazm | ||
| The Metallics | When we were trying to think of a name for the band, my friend's mother came in wearing metallic pants. Yes...metallic PANTS. So, we named ourselves The Metallics in honour of her mum's strange wardrobe. | Minette | ||
| Metamorphic Rock | Cool name for a prog rock band i.e. a band that progresses or metamorphosises as it gets old. | Old Hamo | ||
| Metamorphosis | It means to change, like transform into something better. What a cool name for a band trying to prove that they're better than everyone else? | SwEeTyPiE | ||
| Metaphive | According to my grade 10 English teacher, it was what came after a 'metaphor'. | Chute D'Breeze | ||
| Metaphor | A metaphor is... uhm... kinda like an analogy. And an analogy is something like... um... "If you sink 3 out of 10 baskets you shoot, as in, 3 out of 10 guys talk to you, then you're good, so keep your self esteem and don't feel bad if some guy looks at you and says something mean." Thanks for lettin me play with your analogy, Johnny (Rzeznik)! | Raedyn | ||
| A Metaphor of Dissimilarity | It's cool because it doesn't make sense. A metaphor points out the similarity of things, & therefore can't be a metaphor of dissimilarity. I think it would be good for a indie/punk rock band. If it was used, people could shorten it to 'Metaphor', which would also be cool. | Burnzy | ||
| Metaphors In Paradox | Sounds VERY Cool! It gets you coming and going. This could be a cancelled out analogy from an alternate universe meaning something & nothing at the same time. So, where do you go from here, Neverland? If so, ya better watch your back. That Pan kid will get ya everytime. Also a terrific Album title. | Mr.Ree | ||
| Metaplasia | I was just going to look something up in the dictionary, and I saw this weird word Metaplasia: replacement of one kind of cell. Thought it was kinda kewl. | Rachel C. | ||
| Meteor City | Came up on one of those Captcha things where it makes you type two random words to prove you're human. | Lithh | ||
| Meth to America | Similar to "death to America" but that would be a pretty awful band name. | RevengeFromMars YouTube | ||
| Method 3ulb | while forming the band we came up with method 3ulb. 3ulb when spelt backwards is blue...so it becomes method blue cool huh? | Sibi Abimanue | ||
| Methusulah's Horny Grandmother | It was a line in "Red Dwarf." I liked it. | Tejayes | ||
| Methylchloroisothiazolinone | shampoo bottle word. | Static |
