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

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

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

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
