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.

Name | Origin | Submitted by: | ||
| The Metrognomes | It just is. Great album name: Short City People. | Dan | ||
| 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 | ||
| Mexican Explosion | Daughter came up with the name, along with the concept of dressing like mariachis and playing heavy metal. | Mike Lydic | ||
| 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 | ||
| Mexikraut | A mix of German and Mexican | The Mole | ||
| 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 | ||
| Miami Sex and Cleveland Cleavage | On the TruTV show "Clipaholics", there was a clip of a fight during an LFL game. One of the lines used by the show's narrator, Jason Alexander, was "This game is about a lot more than sex and cleavage, unless you're watching tonight's game between the Miami Sex and Cleveland Cleavage." Also, "Miami Sex" and "Cleveland Cleavage" would be good band names separately. | JeReMy | ||
| Miami Vicodin | Watching reruns of Miami Vice will make you feel like you've been sedated. | RevengeFromMars YouTube | ||
| 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 | ||

| Micro Time | turn the o at the end of micro into a clock | EMINEM FOREVA | ||
| Microvawe | Intentional misspelling of Microwave, popped into my head as a good name for a joke Metal group, due to the fact that it is unwise to put actual metal in a microwave. | G | ||
| 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 | ||
| A Mighty Robot | My friend has a Voltron T-Shirt that says "A Mighty Robot" and I thought it was a pretty cool band name. | BeN | ||
| 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 Britt Phenomenon | The "Mike Britt phenomenon" is a term I came up with for the fact that even in the best groups, someone needs to be the worst, named after comedian Mike Britt, who was my least favorite of a group of three commentators on TruTV Presents World's Dumbest... with the same first name, him, Mike Trainor, and Michael Loftus, though all three are among my top 10 favorites on the show. | JeReMy | ||
| 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 | ||
| Mike Teavee | The fourth golden ticket finder in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. | wonka bar | ||
| 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) | ||
| Miley plays with toasters | I was watching a video on my chemical romance and they say that Miley way used to Stick forks in the toaster :3 and it's a mix between the cure and nirvana | Lily | ||
| Milk Donkey | It's from the YouTuber TheDanocracy | JeReMy | ||
| 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 Suds | Another wordplay on "Milk Duds". Compared to water, milk can kind of make "suds" (somewhat resembling soap suds). I remember how school kids would sometimes produce that effect by blowing into a straw placed in a milk carton. | Richard Wetfuss | ||
| 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 3 | I was thinking up a band name and the word Millennium kept n coming in them, and there were three of us, so why not "Millennium 3"? P.S. I took out one of the n's because it looks better. | ilove1d | ||
| 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 | ||
| A Million Of Them | As in the old Henny Youngman catchphrase, "I got a million of them (jokes)". The number of entries for Cool Band Names could be reaching a million soon. | Opie M. | ||
| 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 Doors | A phrase you often hear in the London Underground; sounds more like an indie rock group | Brendan Richards | ||
| Mind The Gap | Anyone who's ever travelled by London Underground will know what I'm talking about. | Kitt | ||
| Mindless Squeegee | Just driving around with a friend trying to come up with a wild band name | Kevin Zent | ||
| Miner League Baseball | Instead of "minor league" | JeReMy | ||
| 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 | ||
| Minivan Driver | It's a pun on minivan and the actress Minnie Driver. | Bread | ||
| Minivan Pelt | Combines 'Minivan' and the surname 'Van Pelt'(like the Van Pelt siblings from Peanuts) | Natalie | ||
| 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 | ||
| Minors In My Pants | My friend and i were saying words then saying "in my pants. my friend said Minors and i said "in my pants" hence our newfound band name. | hey rahah its me ;D | ||
| 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 | ||
| Minus Mark | In class one day the professor was checking to see if everyone was there, and she said "So we're just minus mark" I thought it was make a cool name for a punk or ska band | Lacer | ||
| 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 | ||
| Miraculous Poop | Miraculous is a dumb show so i thought of this, which sounds funny. | The Mole | ||
| Mirroring Ghost | It's the first song that I wrote along with my new band, it's a slower song. I'm not really sure how to describe it yet, but the name sounds kinda like a gothic/dark band. | smileythemask | ||
| 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 | ||
| Misanthropy | It means hatred of all mankind. Awesome for a death metal band. | Brandon | ||
| Misappropriation Of Funds | It is a felony, a crime punishable by a prison sentence. Sounds about right. | Kenny Rogers | ||
| Miscallenious Ear | Based on a @horse_ebooks tweet. | Calvin | ||
| Miscellaneous | Well, I think I might use it when I finish publishing my songs. It means anything and everything. | audi | ||
| Mischka Is A Monk | Mischka means 'angel of love' in Russian...so? 'The angel of love is a monk' :) Also Mischka is my German Shepherds name, my granda cals her Mischka monk. So I thought it'd be a good band name :) | Jade | ||
| Miscreant | This band name belongs to my bro Alex. It means delinquent. They are only in middle school in FRESNO, CALIFORNIA but they ROCK. | Alex, Sonny, Juana |
