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 starting with M are split into multiple pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6
Name | Origin | Submitted by: | ||
| Mesmereyes | A real cool band for those with striking eyes. | deepdarkme | ||
| 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 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 | ||
| Metalbulism | Heavy Metal Indeed...Try sayin it 10 times in a row when you're drunk, it's fun! "Ten Times in a Row"??? Hey thats cool too! lol | Darin | ||
| 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 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. | ||
| 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 | ||
| Metropolis | listening to dream theater and thought it was kool! :D | Chrissy | ||
| Mettle | Mettle means spirit or courage. I just thought it was a cool name for a garage band. | Binx | ||
| Mexico City Peahats | Came up with this in high school in the late 80s. A Peahat is one of the characters in the video game "Legend of Zelda". Where would you find one naturally? Well, Mexico City I guess, since I've never been there. I mean, have *you* ever seen a live Peahat? And have *you* ever been to Mexico City? There you are then. | WildLegend | ||
| Mezmorizd | How did I come up with it? Me and my friend were working on a manga we were drawing and needed to spell "mesmerized". After a long while, we gave up. Our last attempt ended up being "mezmorizd". He laughed and said, "That would be the coolest band name". It stuck. | Phoenix | ||
| Miasma | Means small gust of foul air e.g I just released a rather amusing miasma , can be used as an ajective e.g There was a Miasma o mistrust in the air I read it in the dictionary one lonley day | Bob Hope | ||
| Miasma | Another word for poison,i thought it sounded cool, do you? | razzman | ||
| Michigan Pickanese | Its cool cause I bought a pickanese in mighigan, | Jared Bourland | ||
| Mickey Spitz and the Effervescent Sea Horses | made up name...just ridiculous | DanEnterprises | ||
| The Microwavable Hamsters | Anybody would want to know the outcome? | Acidic36 | ||
| Microwavable Washcloths | Stacey had a sty on her eyelid and put the washcloth in the microwave and the microwave blew up. so that time, she couldnt have her washcloth to put on her eyelid to make the sty go away...she still has a sty now....... | Stacey & Michel | ||
| Mid Carson Cadence | I have this best friend who is dating this girl named Carson. He and I always make fun of her by saying she is his "Mid Carson Crises". I thought it was funny so I put her middle name "Cadence" on the end. It would be a really good name for any kind of band. | Leah | ||
| Mid-life Crisis | The band I'm in is made up of middle aged use-to's and wanna be's. We hava a crappy name and we were kicking around some new names. This one came to me and as I said it outloud, I realized that I was the YOUNGEST member of the band and the old dudes didn't really think it was funny. | Mike | ||
| Midas | some dude that touches stuff and turns it to gold | crap | ||
| Midd Finger | Me and my friend made up a band and we just named it MiddFinger so I think it's cool! Isn't it ? | Juanovouz Deckleirmech | ||
| Middle Crust | There's are upper crust families (the rich) and lower crust families (the poor), so why not a middle crust? Like used in a three-tiered pizza. | rockhead | ||
| Middle of Next Month | We had fans of our band that said we sounded awful and getting worse by the day. I told them we we getting worse by the day, then we are sounding like the Middle of Next Month | TonyDuhProducuh | ||
| Midevil | just look at it-i was just sitting around playin' my strings..and it..just came to me....(i'm not stoned) | Rich | ||
| Midgets In Costumes | My friends and I realized this would be a great glam rock band. | Diana | ||
| Midlife Christs | I like the pun on "midlife crisis" (since I'm old), the sacreligious edge, and the way it sounds when you extend the ending "sts" consonants ad infinitum. | 2lateDave | ||
| Midlife Crisis | I was trying to think of a name for our all-female band (we are all over 30 and have kids!), and thought this would be great if we ever decided to go punk. | Kate | ||
| Midnight Carnival | I saw it in an arcade game called "Guilty Gear XX". | Michael | ||
| Midnight Engagement | My friend got engaged at midnight...and it turned out to make a cool band name. | Andrew | ||
| Midnight Game | Misheard lyrics to one of my favorite songs prompted this, plus the title of one of my favorites. | Buru-kun | ||
| Midnight Mass For The Dying Year | A poem by Henry Longfellow, it's really good, and the name is pretty rad. | Anita Bransom | ||
| Midnight Rose | My name is Rosalie, and my boyfriend calls me his Midnight Rose all the time. It's very significant to me, so I thought it would make a great band name. | Rosalie | ||
| Midnight Sun | Saw it in a book. It's classic and crazy if you think about it. | X420er | ||
| midNIGHTmare | i came up with it at midnight when i woke up after a nightmare | marko | ||
| Mightier Than Kong | Great Name for an Eighties Stoke Band | Terry Baker | ||
| Mighty Tighty Whiteys | For those who truly feel the need of such things this is self explanatory. There is not a sturdier model of industrial strength panties. The free b***ers of the world however might find a bit of comic irony in this. Would not suggest this as an actual name for a band that really has an emotional attachment to the afore mentioned garmet. | Cyn J | ||
| Migrane | i jst thought that loud music + moshing= sore head, really loud music + resally hard moshing= migrane. Porbably good for a metal band | Danny | ||
| Mik Pik | I ogt a friend named mike and we were jammin in my basement when he took a guitar pick and slammed it into the styrophome wall so it stuck out and said "thats Mik Pik's Pik Trick" | humbucker | ||
| Mikau and the Indigo-Go's | Mikau is a guitar-playing Zora from Majora's Mask. He plays for a band called the Indigo-Go's in the game, and he really rocks out. In the game, though, he died at the hands of some Gerudo pirates. I think his soul would live on if he had a band named after him and the band he played for in reality. Mikau is really awesome. | Leopard FLAsh | ||
| Mike Rafone and 'The Sound Waves' | Mike Rafone is obviously a play on the word Microphone and the last part could be anything (the Distortion, the Speakers, the Whatever etc.) | clever devil | ||
| Mikes Unborn Children | Many great things come from friends that are always with girls | Joe | ||
| Mikey Likes It | It's from some commercial (Life Cereal), but i thought it was like no one really knows who Mikey is. But one thing's for sure: He sure does like it. | Monekka | ||
| Mildred Pierce | It's based off of the song by Sonic Youth. [Ed.'s note: But it's more commonly known as a 1945 movie with Joan Crawford, except with Sonic Youth fans.] | Harbz | ||
| MILeS FroM CLeVeR | Combining an obscure Pink Floyd reference with the fact that where we are (Southern Maryland) there just isn't that much clever. It makes for good tour names, though, like "I'm Not Miles" and "You Are Here" | MCK | ||
| Miles From Life | Because if you are totally just out of the way from everything, kinda dazed, you feel like you are Miles from Life. I was thinking of names, and I thought of Miles from You/Her/Life and others like that. This was one that stood out. | Muzic Man (MZX) | ||
| Milk It! | Yes, it could be one of those teen boy or teen girl bands. Comes from the phrase "Milking it" meaning to promote a fad for as long as possible, or "Milk, it does a body good", the early 90's milk ad campaign. Let's milk it! | newrock | ||
| Milk The Gimp | My band was throwing around potential band names, and worked our way through from 'The Gimps' to 'Gimpjuice' (slightly unsavoury), to the final, downright rotten 'Milk the Gimp'. | Jimmy Eat Cake | ||
| The Milk Toasts | A play on the term "milquetoast" which means a very shy or wimpy person. Tastes good with waffles, too. | band name | ||
| The Milkshakes | I come up with it when I ate the breakfast. (I don't think I have to explain more. xD) | iamfromgermany | ||
| Milky-shake-ish-ness | My friend called someone at my school that. It's strange! Everbody loves strangeness! | Calvin Mcfarlane | ||
| Millenium Theory | Reading thru books the other day frm 1993, they had all these predictions about what it would be like in the year 2000, none of it became a reality. Perfect for overestimated bands | Lmc | ||
| Millitary Koalas | Got inspired by shows like Ninja Turtles. | J.C Shazam | ||
| Milton | Deriving from the savage comedy 'Office Space', a personal triumph! | Luke Warm | ||
| The Mimes | My friend and I came up with this, we both though that it'd be a hilarious name. Just because of the irony... the point of a band is to make music. (Most of the time.) | Adah | ||
| Mimi | well.. you see i was around my mother 24-7 so she called me minie me.i could not pronounce the word so i said(mimi) thats cool about my cool nick name and my friends call me kandie couse i love it... | latisha | ||
| Mimi's Menstrual Cycle | They only work 28 days a month and get in big trouble if they're late. | VJON | ||
| Mind Play | Forget Cold Play, at least this one makes some sense. It grew from an old drug saying, "quit messing with my mind". It also hints at intelligent foolishness. | Gary Gray | ||
| Mind Spanking | My math teacher inspired me!!! | Thomas Smidt | ||
| Mind The Bullocks | In response to the Sex Pistols first album | Rocky | ||
| Mind The Gap | Anyone who's ever travelled by London Underground will know what I'm talking about. | Kitt | ||
| Mindless Self Indulgence | They are this AWESOME band that plays "Industrial Jungle P***y Punk" music (I guess you could call it punk rock/metal/rap/hip-hop/hard rock...yes..all of it...). "Mindless self indulgence" is something crazy that will get you nowhere and is mostly for your own enjoyment. That is what they are all about. Go to Mindlessselfindulgence.com or Mindlesscrackers.com and check them out...Little Jimmy Urine is sooo hot...F***** is the most awesome song ever... | mindlesscracker14 | ||
| Mindless Squeegee | Just driving around with a friend trying to come up with a wild band name | Kevin Zent | ||
| Minerva | A Deftones song, but she's the Goddess of Wisdom. | Brizzy | ||
| Ming's Assassin | "Ming" sounds like a dull and dumb name, but if you add the word "Assassin", it makes all the difference. It would most likely be the name of a Linkin Park-like band. The name was based on some girl I know from school. (P.S. This is actually the name of my weblog.) | DesructiveDanXavier | ||
| Minnie Pearl | It's a line from a Dead Milkmen song: "let's have a daughter, we'll name her Minnie Pearl'' | Charlotte Sometimes | ||
| Minor Hysteria | Anything that happens when me and two or more of my friends gets together is minor, or major, hysteria. | The Nazgul of Samhain | ||
| Minor Incognito | We were listing all the offenses that people we know had be busted with, like MIP, MIC etc. But we couldn't remember what MIC stood for, so my friend took a poor guess, and said "Minor Incognito". | Jerry | ||
| Minor Offence | Well this was going to be our band name. That was before we split up. Best for a punk band. | Felicity from australia | ||
| The Minority | Me and my friend were sitting around trying to think up band names, and we changed topic and she said something about how "we're the minority" and i was like "that'd be an awesome band name!" and we couldn't think of any other band that had that name, so that's us | Zoe | ||
| Minority's Rule | My old garage band name. We wanted to like be different from everyone, so we used the old adage. | Neill | ||
| Mint Jealousy | Not sure...sure leaves a funny taste in your mouth... | Kelly Wright | ||
| The Minty Hippos | My friend was watching "Master of Disguise". In it is a thirty-second dialogue about Operation Minty Hippo. | Lizard | ||

| Minusha Men | Means small unwanted person or group of things. | Brian | ||
| Minute Maiden | It's like Iron Maiden and Minute Maid. | Anthony | ||
| Minutes Silence | Came up with it in school when we had a minutes silence in a prayer...At the time I thought..'nice band name!' | Sim | ||
| Miracle Tortilla Pilgrims | I was reading about this miracle tortilla with a holy image on it and that "pilgrims" were arriving from around the globe to visit it and triapsing through this little old ladies house by the thousands. | badboybear | ||
| Mirrors Folded | I was just looking around my room, and right there was a folding chair, and on the wall was a mirror. It's totally random. | Sydni | ||
| Miscellaneous | Well, I think I might use it when I finish publishing my songs. It means anything and everything. | audi | ||

| Misguided Children Of Koyaanisqatsi | one time, me and my friends were drunk, and we heard a song called Koyaanisqatsi. we stole the name, and he is our drinking god. the word is actually Hopi Indian for "life out of balance", so it's a cool name in itself | Deprae | ||
| Mishashta | It's my nickname for this Russian goalie. When I actually wrote this (as one word) I was surprised at how CRAZY it looks! | deep syxx |
