Names -> Cool Band Names -> M, Page 4
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: | ||
| Misheard Lyrics | I read it off your website. Because it will make people listen to the lyrics more. Hence, it won't make it to the website...right? | Randy | ||
| Mislay.... | its cool cuz i said so and i just looked it up in the thesores.(cant spell) it means to b misplaced or to misplace something so it can b MISLAY OR MISLAID SOULS. | 6862786 | ||
| Misplaced Optimism | This was the name of a band I was in very briefly. We thought it was pretty cool cos not only does it sound alright but also it referred to the way we felt bout the band... we liked to pretend it was gonna go somewhere (hence the optimism) but it didn't (so the optimistic feelings were misplaced). Thus the name was born. | Padman | ||
| Miss B Haven | My dad had a boat that had this name. I like the play on words. | Patty | ||
| Miss Hayes And The Monopause | Well our teacher is such a b**** so this name kicks a**! Please feel free to use it for your band. | Cookie the pornstar | ||
| Miss Nomer | A play on the word "misnomer" or a false name. | Kevin Powers | ||
| Missing Contract | We were waiting for a contract to arrive to make us 'stars' in America but it never arrived. So one of the band said, let's call ourselves Missing Contract. | jezza | ||
| Missing E | The guitarist in our band is always missing his high E string. So what the h***? Why not make it the name of our band!?? | Matt | ||
| The Missing Peace | It has two meanings: 1) the piece of a puzzle and addresses and 2) the lack of peace in today's world. Clever huh? | Jesse_F | ||
| The Missing Weekend | It's cool because it denotes getting out of it so much that you dont remember. | mannequinboy | ||
| Mission Demolition | Would be a good name for a punk rock band. If you like punk rock. | Edward | ||
| Mission Of Darkness | It's the title of a really bad anime that I saw (really, REALLY bad... avoid at all costs). In spite of that it'd make a good band name - possibly an industrial metal group... plus The Darkness are a pretty cool band (IMHO) so having the word "darkness" in your name at the moment couldn't do too much harm | miss bad example | ||
| The Mission Room | I was watching the music video for Crowded House's "Don't Dream It's Over" one day. The concept of the video is like a family photo album. In one part of the video the band is playing in what looks like an attic with candles surrounded around them. Below the screen it reads "The Mission Room." | Krista-chan | ||
| Mist of Confusion | I don't know, it just sounded cool. | Aly | ||
| Mistacken Consepts | Because it's mispelled, and mispellings are always kewl. | brock | ||
| Mistaken Eye Kandy | this is a cool name because i thought this girl was really hot but she had a bad personality | Ben D | ||
| Mistaken Integrity | Me and my friend Kris have too many names as it is...I wanted 'Penis' but, eh. Anyway, we were on the train and on the map, somebody had scribbled something on it. To her, it looked like it said "Mistaken Integrity". To me (without my glasses) it looked like "fsklajlfjklj" so there you have it. | Monica-The Good Witch of Washington | ||
| Mister McFeely | This was an idea me and my buddies had in high school for our band. I was the only one who wanted this name. We also pondered "Steamed Clams", but ended up using "Discrepancy Deutch". | twackt | ||
| Mister Rogers With An Uzi | Inspired by another cool band name on this site, When Mr. Rogers Breaks Down. The description said it could have a cool picture of Mister Rogers with an uzi, which I thought is a cool band name in itself. | Cessi | ||
| Mister Thou and Mistress Thee | This band name could be great for a male-female rock duo, like Mates of State or the White Stripes. The name comes from the video game "Final Fantasy 6." | Olvan The Terrible | ||
| Mitch's Rubber Chicken. | My roommate, Mitch had a rubber chicken. Someone said something about Mitch's rubber chicken, and I was like, "That would make a totally sweet name for a band." | Justin | ||
| Mitochondria | It sounds cool, and no one will remember how to spell it! Mitochondria are basically the "power source" of a cell (biology, y'know). | iK | ||
| Mitochondria | It sounds neat..............Biology class | Greg Becker | ||
| Mitternacht | German for "midnight." Gotta be a heavy metal band. | Greg G. | ||
| A Mix | So when people asked you what you were listening to, you'd say "A Mix" | Dan | ||
| Mixaphorically Speaking | My best pal loves "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" Refers to a line George Clooney's character says in the film. | Kristina | ||
| Mixed Metaphor | My 8th Grade math teacher had a band, but needed a name for it. She asked the class for suggestions, and said that it should be random. I thought of some, including Mixed Metaphor, but I never got to submit them because I caught the flu. Mixed Metaphor sounded like a cool name for a band, and it means a metaphor ( i.e. hungry as a wolf, I could eat a horse) that has been mixed up with a different one ( I'm so hungry I could eat a wolf). | Siri Stone | ||
| A Mixed Tape Affair | I was just browsing around the internet when I saw the line "MIXED TAPE" jump out at me then I thought if My Chemical Romance. Another word for romance is affair; and it is pretty awesome to add 'A' in front of it. | Lauren | ||
| The Mixture | Dude, i don't know why it's cool. It just is. The name came off of a medicine bottle, the little sticker said; THE MIXTURE shake the bottle. Cool or what. | Erin | ||
| Mjolnir | it was thors hammer the weapon of a mighty god whats not cool about that. | nazgul | ||
| Mk 9/11 | Mark Nine Eleven. I am not suggesting that 9/11 should be used as a joke, but the name, Mark 9/11. It means, to mark the day, so that we will never forget. | Josh | ||
| Mo Naked Hoes | Because in "Lord Of The Rings" Sam (Gamgee) says, "Potatoes", but it looks like he's saying, "Mo Naked Hoes". It's genius. | lauren | ||
| Moaning Adhesive | Makes me think of either a really sick sex game OR tape being ripped off of someone/something... or velcro even! SCREAMING VELCRO!!! | Leslie | ||
| Mob Mentality | I was studying sociology and we study the mob mentality and it just seemed like a good name for a punk band. | LeAnne | ||

| Mobster Bisque | Lobster bisque is delicious, how about sharing a bowl with Tony Soprano? | cheetah m | ||
| Mochilla Mochilla | In Spanish it means "backpack, backpack"...but doesn't it just roll off the tongue sooooo smoothly?!?! | shushi | ||

| Mocking Birds | Come on man you know why. Mocking birds aren't to be shot down. They do nothing to you. | Tom Robinson | ||
| The Modern Amish Army | So many funny things in this name. An oxymoron is you have ever heard one. I love making fun of the Amish, probably because they'll never find out!!!!!! They don't have the internet...lol. | BadKarma Chameleon | ||
| Modus Ponens | It's a concept in logic called "affirming the antecedent." It would be good for a band for thinking people, like Talking Heads or They Might Be Giants. Or a band in a college town. | Doolsey | ||
| Moe Chow | A big hair band name's delight. Also could liscence a candybar after it. The name came in a dream. One day, they will play on SNL. | Farkus Dillanger | ||
| The Mofongos | Puerto Rican dish; plaintain mash, yum. Also slang for a fat kid. | patiperro | ||
| Mojave Jello Ekos' | We had played a after hours near Nogales, then got lost in the Mojave Desert then we ate the last of our frito pie and went to the edge of deep canyon somewhere near the Mexican border, when we hollered "HELLO" into the canyon , from the south came the echo, "JELLO". | Badboybear | ||
| MoJo's Risin' | Think it would be a good Doors cover band name. Is your mojo risin'? | Bill Spaulding | ||
| Moksha | In Hindi language, it means the ultimate enlightment, the ultimate NIRVANA from life. | mahak | ||
| Molino Hill | I live in Molino, Florida. We call where we live Molino Hill. Pretty much my whole family lives here, and we are a small community of country people. | Andrae | ||
| Molly Wanna Biscuit | Its kind of like Polly wanna cracker, but sounds kind of punk. | Someone | ||

| Moment Of Inertia | Heard it in Physics class. Liked it so much I shouted "Band Name!" when I heard it. | Me | ||
| moment of perfect clarity | from the novel "buffallo soldiers" (forgot the authors name). a fictional story of american GI's stationed in germany and operating bigtime criminal enterprise from within the army base. the story's protagonist is a heavy drug abuser in constant fear of being exposed as such. MPC is the mental state he sometimes achieve when the drugs he constantly takes to adjust his "high" balance each other perfectly and produces a sense of total control and confidence. his MPC moments are shortlived forcing our hapless chap back to inventing new ways of taking drugs in the middle of meetings, etc | Steffen Solem | ||
| A Moment of Zen | For those who have watched the Daily Show, you should know what I speak of. "And now your moment of Zen." "BOOOOOOM" "Now back to your regularly scheduled program." It could be, like, a metal band or somefish. I like fish ^_^ | Usa ^_^ | ||
| Momento Mori | Latins the best because 1. They has a nice ring to to the band name 2.Momento mori = remember you will die HOW COOL IS THAT FOR A ROCK BAND NAME? | Joel James | ||
| Momma Didn't Raise No Fools | i dont know why but i watched a film were there was this fat man and he just said "momma didnt raise no fool" and started beating the s*** out of these guys. i just thougth that would be amazing for a ska or punk band. | hen12 | ||
| Mona Way | This was the name of the street my girl friend live on. I thought it would be a great name for a band fronted by a girl. The double entendre of Moan Away. | Zymurgy | ||
| Monday's Call | i think that this name is diff n kool. i came up w/ it cause no one wants it to be monday after the weekend, but the whole next week n monday calls ur name. | cris | ||

| Money For The Man | I was walking downtown one day and saw a blind man with a jar with a sign that said "Please,I can't find a home".I was so moved by his problem that I went over and put a five in his hand. He stopped me and said to me "Son, mankind needs this more than I do" and I smiled and said "but you are mankind." I put the money in his jar and walked away I have been forever moved by that experience but my band is called Blind Mankind so I didn't think of this until now. | Lizard King | ||
| Monkey Chow | it just sounds really cool and i heard it on this program and just could'nt stop laughing i use it all the time. | Daisy dares you | ||
| Monkey Fever | I came up with name because, my friends love monkeys, so we named a club Monkey Fever. That is one reason we picked Monkey Fever. We every Friday night we would have a show and play the Monkey Fever song. And every one said this show is awesome and cool! | Becky | ||
| Monkey Forbidden | Someone has this as her location on a message board I go on, and I thought it sounded pretty cool. The CD cover could be like a monkey in a cage and he's holding onto the bars or something. | flipside | ||
| Monkey Pox | I was in science learning about smallpox. I thought of a monkey with chicken pox. But I called it Monkey Pox instead. | lewis | ||

| The MonoChrome Menaces | Ka-Bar | |||
| MonoJack | I went to Best Buy and got these worthless speakers that weren't even compatible with my cheap-ass stereo. I went back to return the speakers, and the salesman said I had a "Mono Jack" (plug) and needed a stereo jack instead. The other salespeople just laughed at him. He 's now names band names instead. (I don't know, but let's just say he doesn't work at Best Buy anymore.) ;) | rocky | ||
| Monojex | It is inspired by the finest syringe known to wisdom-toothless people everywhere. | Boy Howdy | ||
| Monolith | I was in science class, studying plate tectonics, and I read that a monolith = big ROCK. Since rock was our genre, we had to rock big, so why not big rock? | Justice | ||
| Monsieur Boones | Well, Boones is my 2 year old son's nickname and my sister started adding Monsieur which means Mister in French, It's crazy, but kind of funny. She calls him that and people actually thinks it's a grown man. I think it's a pretty cool way to make up a name, or band name. | Raquel | ||
| Monsoon | i dont know i just thought it would be good for a heavy metal band cause monsoons are storms. | izzy | ||
| The Monster In Your Closet | My former band name, just reminds me of the fears we won't face, you know? | john scofield | ||
| Monster Smalahove | Smalahove is a Norwegian dish, consisting of a salted and smoked sheep head. Once I had a nightmare about eating huge monster smalahoves with long, sharp horns and yellow, glowing eyes. That was creepy. So today I was talking to a friend about smalahove, and I remembered the dream. The rest is history I guess. | Foxy-chan | ||
| Monstrositi | I just think it describes the way people act. | mel.. parkins | ||
| The Montagues | weeeelll, the Montagues from Romeo and Juliet kick ass. It would be a good unheard of rock band name. | Rktikfox | ||
| Montana Rockets | Think this one is self explanatory. For the uninformed, this is what you do when out in the woods, need to blow your nose, and no tissues. Hold thumb to one nostril (not the plugged one) lean forward and blow hard. | Cyn J | ||
| Montrossity | Named after former Indiana high school basketball player Eric Montross, who went on to North Carolina and a brief NBA career. Also, I thought of the name The Monster Albatross, but Montrossity is much cooler. | Hoosier | ||
| Moo Goo Guy Band | Don't remember how we came up with this, but I think it's cool because it sounds like a Chinese stir-fry dish. | Ja Harbour | ||
| Mood Ring | It has a certain ambiance. Could be a cool jazz band name. Or definitely a 70s disco cover band. Any kind of music that's danceable and fun. Anyone old enough to remember 70s mood rings? Those things were cool. | Ed | ||
| Moonbeam Motorhome | A 60s Pych/Garage band with fuzz guitars, feedback, and a blaringly loud Moog synth making the space noises. This band got their name from a song in a Ren & Stimpy cartoon. | JBL | ||
| Moonbeams Of Sunshine | it was midnight and i was bored so i looked out the window and thought of moonbeams and then i went into my room and grabbed a beatles album and saw "here comes the sun" | ryan | ||
| Moonfire Funeral | I was watching "Drug Years: The 70's" on T.V. One of the protesting hippies was carrying a sign that said, "Moonfire Funeral". | acre 17 | ||

| Moonmantis | Class project spawned this one. | Mike | ||
| Mops Over Microphones | Big Hair bands of the 80's inspired this name. | alchem99 | ||
| Moral Speed Bump | A friend was talking about how hot a way too young girl was and said that the only thing stopping him was when he hit "the wall of morality" to which someone replied, "but with you it's more like a moral speed bump." | sarge | ||
| More For Less | I thought this name was cool, because I know of bands that do so much to try to make a difference in the world and don't succeed when they need recognition. So if any of you understand this name, then this name is for you. | daniel | ||
| More To Multiply | One day in math class, I was taking this test and part of an answer was "there are more ways to multiply". I think it's cool, but it could be taken the wrong way! | mich | ||
| Morning Glory | Reminds me of a firework(good rock band name) | Kelsi | ||
| Morning Nightmare | well one day my friend was telling me that she had a nightmare the night b4 but her dream was set in the morning time and i thought it was funny to have a nightmare when its morning. (just to clarify this: she was sleeping at night but her dream that she was dreaming took place in the morning) | poo | ||
| MorNiNg wOOd | Cool name, makes me laugh. (Came from, no pun intended, a "Beavis and Butthead" episode.) | CorEy | ||
| Moronic Acid | It's a real chemical compound, but it's found in (!) the bottom of ancient egyptian pots, which was too boring for a name like that, and I figured it would make a great name for a sort of punk-metal band. If my friends and I ever decide to get off our lazy a**es and start a band, maybe we'll call ourselves that. It sound like a NOFX style band that would constantly be telling MTV to go **** themselves. That would be us! | crazy goat | ||
| Morphine the Med Students | I was just thinkin' about med students/surgeons/doctors and what they might do in thier spare time. Do morphine of course! | Knumb Prodigy | ||
| Morphine, OD | I just had an operation and I came up with it and laughed! | Robert | ||
| The Mortars | sounds like a classic rock band name, was going to be the name of my band | enemy909 | ||
| Morte Inferno | We put the to words together. It means "fire by death" (or "death by fire"). I think it sounds good. | trinidad | ||
| The Mortgages | A name for a 30 something pick up band that suddenly finds itself famous. Inspired by a band in the 1973 Punch Christmas Annual! They'd be so boring that they'd be kewl! | Nice Bob | ||
| The Mortimer Snerds | In Stephen King's novel Carrie, the bitchy popular girls refer to the geeks and losers as Mortimer Snerds. This would be a great name for some sort of angst-ridden underground emo band. [Ed.'s Note: Mortimer Snerd was one of Edgar Bergen's puppet characters.] | Jimmy's Dreamgirl |
