Names -> Cool Band Names -> M, Page 5
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: | ||
| The Mortimer Snerds | Sounds like a really flippant, in-your-face punk band. The name is a nod to Stephen King's novel Carrie, in which the unpopular kids were known contemptuously as Mortimer Snerds by the sadistic rich girl. | Alicia | ||
| The Mosh Pit Sorority Sisters | I saw this term in a magazine, and thought it would be a good name for a riot grrrl band, plus it combines two opposites, since sorority sisters are stereotypically goody-goody (even though they may really not be)! | Carla Bisagni | ||
| The Moshed Potatoes | my friend is obsessed with saying potato. | pladmaster | ||
| Mosiac Disease | my friends and I were gonna start a band, we flipped through the dictionary and this is a type of disease for a plant. | Anna | ||
| Mosquito Valentine | This is the full name of Doug's friend Skeeter on the cartoon "Doug". It calls to mind something sexy and yet bloodthirsty, and thus would make a great name for a tough, raunchy all-girl band. | Kath | ||
| Moss Feaster | This is a name of a funeral home in the town I am from in Florida. I thought is sounded like a kick *** name. | pjam1379 | ||
| Mossy Faith & The South Side Sinners | I was straining my brain to find a handle for a large soul band with horns, background chorus and a soulish lead singer. I knew "the South Side" would be in it but nothing else clicked. Then I heard Percy Faith (actually Percy Sledge, but whatever), but sing "When A Man Loves A Woman" and I really felt it. So I new "Faith" was working and with that word I tagged "Sinners" on the end and Mossy (an old cajun name) on the front. That was good enough for Riely and good enough for me. [Ed.'s note: I don't know who Riely is, so don't ask.] | Gary Gray | ||
| Most Natural Plastic Fruits | On my office wall, I have a bag of plastic fruit with this phrase, which has most likely been poorly translated from Chinese or Japanese. | Chuck Fensch | ||
| The Most Unlikely Of Heroes | I think it would be awesome for like a rock punk band | Sarah | ||
| Most Wanted | It was Hillary Duff's new cd!! | Emily | ||
| Mostly Harmless | My friend wrote it on the front of her English book, then I started doodling around it. It ended up quite a cool piece of art. Now our band is called Mostly Harmless. | Sage Sardonyx | ||
| Mostly Republicans | This could totally be a political band - not necessarily pro-Republican, but could be a great form of criticism. | Lorelei Leigh | ||
| Mother Mary and the Plenary Indulgence | Just saw Dogma, and the phrase "Plenary Indulgence" just jumped out... and in Mary (the mother of Christ) and the band name is born | Dave Hollins | ||
| Mother's Half-n-Half | A play on "Mother's Milk" or breast milk. It would be perfect for a female band to promote masectomies. | babe | ||
| Mother's Worry | kathleen opc | |||
| Mothers Against Drunk Drinking | Mike Lydic | |||
| Moths | The Moths is an amazing name. It is like a butterfly, only darker and sinister because it is a night creature. The story about the moth and the flame is a wonderful allegory on romance, so if any insect could scream rock n' roll, it would be the moth. Besides, it would be mispronounced wonderfully as The Meulths (see A Shot In The Dark), and it could spurn fantastic album titles by the group. | Lou Guru | ||
| The Motile Sperm | I told my cousin a few years back that I saw a "townie" band in Athens, GA called The Motile Sperm - she believed me and tried to find out where they played. I thought up the name in an alcohol haze and thought it was funny. | W.D. Payne | ||
| Motivational Methodology | I heard a character on Scrubs use this phrase. It's just fun to say. Would be a great name for any pop/rock band. Their music would be catchy and uptempo. | Edward | ||
| Mouldy Toast | This name rocks because it is my own creation and i don't think toast even goes moldy, so it's different. | bry-bob | ||
| Mounting Indifference | My personal indifference is mounting with every passing day. | Dave Emke | ||
| Mourning Glory | It is so cool. coz when u say it people will think Morning like the oasis song but it is mourning glory so it is sorrow in glory. a conderdictary term but a very good one. | hdhdhdh | ||
| The Mourning Process | When our drummer died, we couldn't let go. Hence the name, the mourning process. | Los Chihuahuas de Mike | ||
| Mouthful of Butter | I heard some kid in marching band say that he ate the whole glob of butter...band kids heh. | Chesty Laroo AKA Busty StClair | ||
| Mouthy Lil Bastardz or The HoundDogs | i think both of these cool names are the best 4-real!. | J-Dub | ||
| The Mozart Underground | Hehe Ok. My band almost used this one. Pretty Catchy eh? | Bioman | ||
| MPB (Mad Pit Bull) | MPB sounds like MP3, me and my friends would try to insult the teachers by calling her a MPB (Mad Pit Bull) she'd ask what it meant and we'd tell her its an inside joke from a tv show and a mad pitbull would make a good cover for a CD and would make a good punk or metal band name. | Chris | ||
| Mr E. and the Detectives | It's so... Mr. E.-ous. | Doyle | ||
| Mr Neutron | According to a Monty Python sketch, the most feared man in all the universe. He is a gardener and decorator. | Rachal | ||
| Mr. C, My Number 2 | My best friend (who had a boyfriend) had a crush on this guy, but she couldn't tell anyone (except me of course) so when she wrote me notes in which he was involved, she called him Mr. C My Number 2 because her boyfriends name also started with c... | daphne | ||
| Mr. Fahrenheit | Queen's song "Don't Stop Me Now" contains the line, "Two hundred degrees, that's why they call me Mr. Fahrenheit." For some reason, the phrase stuck with me as a great band name. | acidbrat | ||
| Mr. Happy Pants | Mr. Happy Pants... hes happy Im happy youre happy we are all happy! What more do you need? | Pigertaws | ||
| Mr. Happy's Magical Ride | If the band had completely opposite-sounding music from the angelic name, that would be wicked! I actually got this name from a magazine that my bff made up and started. | Nikki | ||
| Mr. Hate | "Mr. Hate" is the title of a song the Tubes recorded in the '80s. I always thought it sounded like a cool name for a punk band. | acidbrat | ||
| Mr. Holland's Orphase | I can't spell. But just like the movie, Mr. Holland's Opus. | Jeremiah | ||
| Mr. Lick | It kind of speak or licks for itself. The name itself came from my girl friend after 1 faithful night, if you know what I'm saying. | David L. Williams | ||
| Mr. Menard's Mad | My principal, Mr. Menard, is sort of cuckoo. My friends and I think that he thinks that he's Billy Fucillo, 'cause he's always sayin' "It's gonna be hu-u-u-u-uguh." (Please don't mind my spelling, it's one of the things I am not good at.) | 300 Bernard St. Girl | ||
| Mr. Mofongo | This is a name of a restaurant in Orlando where I go to college. I don't know what they serve but their name is funky ass hell and would be a good name for a group. | pjam1379 | ||
| Mr. Mute and The Graveyard Shift | I was thinking of Me First And The Gimmie Gimmies when i just thought about Rancid's song Red Hot Moon and in th song it says something about a Graveyard shift tonight. Then I thought The misfits had something do do about Mr. Mute. Mr. Mute and the graveyard shift would be a cool punk band name | Evan | ||
| The Mr. Rons | I love it. It was because of a village's post man. All the little kids called him Mr. Ron. He was fired from his post for posting a sausage in a letter box. | radio cambs | ||
| Mr. Saturn | Yet another video game-based band name idea from Olvan The Terrible, this name comes from "Earthbound." They could be like They Might Be Giants or Weezer. | Olvan The Terrible | ||
| Mr. Self Destruct | It's the name of a Nine Inch Nails song. | insert name here | ||
| Mr. Sparkle And The Rex Harrison Experience | "simpsons" + "my fair lady" = fun | mike, kevin, matt | ||
| Mrs. Buttersworth and the Gelatinous Mass | A friend and I came up with it after we ate the worst maple syrup ever! | Phil Clossey | ||
| MTSX | Some friends and I were playing Balderdash, a (cool) game, and I looked up and saw a picture of manatee's holding hands. This made me write manatee sex down on the paper as the word's definition. Yah it was amazing and MTSX is just the abreviation. | Sally | ||
| Mu Po ToFu | im not sure what this is exactly, but i saw it on a sign by a chinese restraunt in massachusettes "We sereve fresh Mu Po Tofu daily" and it sorta rhymes. | jaded | ||
| Mu Sorka | Means "trash can" in Russian, "my star" in Polish, and "money bag" in some slang.(Brazilian?) We're trying to be international! | Xie21 | ||

| The Muffin Men | (sings) Do you know the Muffin Men, the Muffin Men, the Muffin Men...that would be strangely amusing | Bye-Gon Jinx | ||
| Mugwump | This is a term for a maverick if rather foolish person. Originally it was the surname of a Republican senator who always voted with the Democrats. My friend started calling me this after I fell on my head whilst a little over refreshed from an evening at our local hostelry, needing eight stiches and an enormous comedy turban like bandage. I like the name for a band as I gained my name fin a rock 'n' roll lifestyle way. | Kathy | ||
| The Mugwumps | Its a term from the Gilled age of politics, it means sitting on the fence and not sideing with the two main opposing sides. | Bflorio12 | ||
| Mullet And The Hoosiers | My friends and me always make fun of people from Indiana. I thought this would be a good band name for a band from Indiana, although one person could be from eastern Kentucky. | Alfonzo | ||
| Mullets in Action | Just a nonsense name | Mike Lydic | ||
| The Multijet Event | A multijet is a pretty spectacular event in a Hadron-Hadron collison (e.g. in accelarators). Roughly spoken. Again, I am a physicist... | Sabine | ||
| Multiple Nobodies | We were thinking of naming ourselves "The Losers", but that's way to average. Instead we thought of something similar to the losers but would apply to everyone of the average life and that they could relate to without being offended. | CSH | ||
| Mumblebee | When I was around 7 years old, I was eating dinner with my family. Being so young, I mumbled my order. My brother then said, "Stop mumbling, you stupid mumblebee!" | Merlin | ||
| MumCanWe'aveARabbit | Just heard it on a headache pill advert while reading this list! | Matt | ||

| Murdershow | Tara D | |||

| Murray Shaftner | What an elderly contestant on the game show "Family Feud" thought was a reporter on "60 Minutes" when asked by Richard Dawson. She must have been thinking of either Morley Safer or a Jewish "Star Trek". | news 8 | ||
| Murray's Tractor | It's so red-neck yokel hillbilly hippy back country hick. A bit like me in a way I guess. | gareth | ||
| Murry and His Minions | I was playing "The Curse of Monkey Island" (a Lucus Arts Computer game) and the character of Murry the Skull has me in stiches. A friend of mine then said perhapes Murry should have an army of other skulls to follow him - his minions, so to speak. It was then that we thought "Murry and his Minions" would be a great name for a 60's rock band, sort of in the vein of "Gerry and the Pacemakers". Or perhapes we were just being disturbing... | Mika | ||
| Muscular Thumbs | i remember this bartender, big moosy dude, who could open beer bottles with his thumbs. i said to my buddy -- "to do that, you would need muscular thumbs". He said "that's a cool name for a band." | Dane Janeiro | ||

| Mutated Flamingo | This would hands down make the fans laugh their guts out of their ears. | Ryan C. | ||
| Mutilated Death Monkeys | My fellow band mates and I were driving along and we slowed down to go over railroad tracks. My mate noticed that there was something on the tracks. I looked and said that it looked like a mutilated monkey. On the ride to practice, we kept referring to the mutilated monkey on the tracks. However, Mutilated Monkey on the Tracks seemed a little long and it soon became Mutilated Death Monkeys. We wrote some rather funny songs and did a little weird side project. The rather funny part is that my mate and I were also in a Christian band at the time. | Scott Drichel | ||

At that point, we thought a cool name for our band might be "My Forbidden Thought". However, out with the old, in with the new. That band got out of control, and now we're up to new stuff, still thinking of a cool name to use. Yep, so it's pretty exciting! Feel free to use our old name.
