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

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. 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. 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. 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.

I like the name for a band as I gained my name fin a rock 'n' roll lifestyle way.  Kathy

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

Mutant Teddy Bears when i was about 13 me and 3 other friends started a "metallica" type band. My little sister had a collection of teddybears, and we stole one and tied it to a post and set it up in front of all of our amps, drums, etc... we called our band the mutant teddybears for a while, but my mom threw a fit when she found out we stole my sisters teddy bear. o well. someone else can use the name now. Nick The Challenged
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
