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.

Misery Loved Me		I got this name from a line in the Fall Out Boy song "Dance,Dance" i really like it alot. I even used it for the name of my site.		melissa
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
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 Calculation		Some women spend too much time scheming. Makes for a good band name at least.		RevengeFromMars YouTube
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
Miss Rose		Well, I love the name Rose, and like the band name of the X-factor called Miss Frank, I decided to use "Miss Rose"		Tina

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
Mist Opportunity		A pun on "missed opportunity", with curious implications		D. Melody Dole, MD
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
The Misunderstood		I just like saying it. alot of the times I am misunderstood. So, that represents me.		Amanda Day
Misunderstood		It really talks about a lot of people who are complex and are understood. One day I was kind of sad and thought of some different band names and this popped up.		Anne Ongsuco
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 neat..............Biology class		Greg Becker
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
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

Mock-Heroic		to mimic, imitate, or counterfeit being a hero, to challenge. Dont expect me to be one		korey ruben
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 Operandi		If there isn't a band with this name there should be. It's Latin and would translate into English mode of operation or operational mode. You often hear it on cop shows as just m.o. an abbreviation. It just sounds like a band name.		Edward
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

Molly Wanna Biscuit		Its kind of like Polly wanna cracker, but sounds kind of punk.		Someone
The Molten Gophers		Come on. You know it's wicked. It's what I named my volleyball team but it would be even better as a band.		Jim

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

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
Mondayitis		I dunno, i just thought of that girl who killed two people b/c she hated Mondays and i though that's really sad, then i thought hey, cool band name!		i hate mondays
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 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

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
Monroe		Just think about it. A hard rock band named after a famous actor.		Thomas
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

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
Mookie Wilson		Wilson was an outfielder for the New York Mets and Toronto Blue Jays from 1980 to 1991. Also, Pearl Jam was going to call themselves "Mookie Blaylock" after a different professional athlete nicknamed "Mookie".		JeReMy
Moon Guts		I was in the car and the moon looked very large, for some reason, so I started freaking out, saying "Ah!! The moon's gonna explode and there will be moon guts everywhere!!". Hence the name.		Vieve
