Names -> Cool Band Names -> N, Page 2
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 N are split into multiple pages: 1 2 3

| NGR (Naked Girl Running) | A friend and I were talking about why guys like it when girls fight each other, and about what it looks like in their minds. Something about half-naked girls slapping each other and pulling hair, running away from each other. Then NGR somehow came up and we thing it's an awesome name for a band. | Emilio Coolio and Dingo | ||
| Nibblit | Hamsters nibble it... so, Nibblit kinda goes, doesn't it? And my name. Haha! My real name is Elizabeth, tho! | Zak, the Hamster Girl! | ||
| nic nac | I thought of this while I was with my friend. We were thinking of band names and she thought of tic tac but that sounded kind of stupid, so I said "What about nic nac?" It sounds really cool for a two-people only band. | Vegged One | ||
| Nice Marmot | And let's also not forget--let's not forget, Dude--that keeping wildlife, an amphibious rodent, for uh, domestic, you know, within the city-- that isn't legal either. | DAX | ||
| NICer | I just thought it was cool. I heard this song by The Used and I didn't know the words to it so I checked them. At the end of the song they scream nicer! And it just kind of thought it was wierd the way it was spelled. I kinda souped up the name I made three uppercase and the other 2 lower case. Like I said, I don't expect you to think it's cool. This is free to anyone who wants to take it, I guess. | Seipher | ||
| Nickelboy's Third Eye | Everybody calls me "Nickelboy" cause I jumped on a nickel once around my friends cause i was greedy, but i ended up getting nothing in the end, thats what Nickelboy means, the Third Eye part: I had a band called MyThirdEye and i just put the two together...basically a speed punk metal disaster waiting to rip Avril Lavigne's head off | kevin | ||
| Nietzsche is Not a Nihilist (NNN) | This' be a great name for an acid punk band, that sings about everything that'd wrong in the system and that mentions big words a lot. | Hilda | ||
| Nifty Gifties | from the Office....greatest show ever. | D. Money | ||
| Nigh Swan | Looks like a guy's OR girl's name, and sounds like "Nice One!" | Tejayes | ||
| Night Ghost | Because who sees a ghost during the day?? | charles | ||
| The Night Season | Possibly a time in our future should a nuke explode anywhere in the U.S. the Mid East or Asia. The whole world will be plunged into it. Say your prayers boys & girls. We never know. | Gary Gray | ||
| Nightmare Destination | I Was thinking of "Final Destination" and kind of had a nightmare about it. | Neo | ||
| Nightmare Love | i dont know if it is any good but it was a song i made up i thought it sounded quite cool | jed | ||
| Nihilistic Sanity | Nihilistic means nonexistent. I am very creative and some of my ideas are extremely funny/crazy. I am not really insane. But I joke around. For instance, I may say something similar to, "Not the voices! They've come back!" I wrote a song called "Manifested Insanity" which was about someone going insane, though it was written in first person. Other than this, I just thought it sounded really nifty. | SaMMy | ||
| The Nike Airheads | Nike probably would ax this name, but Nike was the goddess of victory. And that's what you want from a band, don't you? And adding "heads" to "Air" would add to the irony. | MOR | ||
| Nim Chimpsky | Its the name of a crazy little chimp in my m8s Psychology textbook.We were flicking through to try and get some inspirition for lyrics/songtitles etc and thought this was abstract and funny.... | Masterbasser | ||
| Nimbus | This might be good for something like "Train"...or maybe for a girl group that worships Eden's Crush and Dream....I don't know where it came from....it could be a name for a heavy metal band, there aren't any good names anymore.... | CF | ||
| Nine 1 One | It pretty much explains it self | Matt | ||
| The Nine Dollar Bill | We went to get some snacks at the Quickie-mart and the bill came to nine dollars. The cashier said he was running low on change and we only had a five and a twenty so we were like "Man! Wish there was such thing as a nine dollar bill!" It kind of ended up as an inside joke and eventually our band name! | shel&lins | ||
| Nine Volt Moon | It's part of a line of a poem i wrote. I thought the poem was pretty cool, especially this bit. | Doe Bathory | ||
| Nine-Minute Mile | It has that sort of alliteration thing going, and I'm a terrible runner, so... you know, it takes me nine minutes... to run a mile. Yeah. | Snowblind | ||
| NingNongNang | Playschool fans of old will understand. Go the ABC. | Alex | ||
| Ninja Crisis | The girl-band "Play" has a news report in a music video dealing with a ninja crisis. | Two Guys From SDO | ||
| Ninjas of Rock | Anyone who's anyone knows ninjas love to totally rock hard. Instead of a guitar tab thingy, you could use a throwing star. | Chris Awesome | ||
| Nipple Bunny | I have no idea if it's cool or not , but I saw it in a plumbing supply catalog ( it's a metal basket w/ compartments to organize and carry brass nipples) and immediately thought, " What a good name for a band!". | smokey | ||
| NME | Really its supposed to be enemy, but I shortened it so it looks cooler. | Bryce Strecker | ||
| No Artificial Colours | Me n my mate Sarah were tryin to think of a cool band name n i had a botrtle of vimto n we just read the bottle n there it was! Plus it means we aren't fake and we r in a band cos we luv music | Jaz | ||
| No B**** Daughter | Comes from British show "Absolutely Fabulous". Patsy is always more relaxed in Edina's home when "no b**** daughter" (Saffy) is around to pass judgement. | Pam | ||
| No Brainer | Horrid business expression that I hear all the time. Seems like a good name for a Ramones type dumbcore band. | Proteus | ||
| No Cash Value | I found it on the back of an arcade token, and I thought it would be cool for some cheap garage band. | A.J. | ||
| No Clue | This is great if someone asks "So who's playing here tonight?" You could say "No Clue" and you'd be right! | Crispay Chicken | ||
| No Comment | I thought of being famous and just repeating "no comment" to the damned reporters. | machew | ||
| No Diving Aloud | It doesn't really make much sense...perfect for a punk band. The Aloud is a play on words...ya know...instead of allowed...get it? | Me | ||
| No Effort | I love my bands name because were a punk rock band and where sort of lazy. But we know how to rock. Where also a tribute band to Tenacious D, so were pretty kick ass. | Jonny | ||
| No Eye Deer | No Idea .... !!!??~~ | ReggiE^Didy | ||
| No Fear | It tells ya leave me alone, i'm in one of those moods, i ain't ganna pretend, ain't i ain't got no fear type things | Katie | ||
| No Fruit | We were looking for a cool name. Then we hought of something like "The Big Apples" or so. But one of my friends said, "Hey no fruit in the name please". So I thought we'd name it No Fruit. | Niek | ||
| No General Direction | dont know why, iit actually isnt... | jack | ||
| No Good!!!! | I just thought it would be cool to be on-stage and yelling to the crowd the band name and yelling.. We Are:,,,,, NO GOOD!!!!!!!!! | dave | ||
| No Hope | My cousin, who used to have a very talented but not-so-radio-friendly (sort of like Rush) band, just got together with some people he knows and a new singer. The singer is a blonde and my cousin is a Hindu--sounds like No Doubt doesn't it? Well, their first performance sucked, so my cousin quipped this little mock band name. | melysni.cjb.net | ||
| The No Hopes | A group of BsB wannabes | Kurt Cobain's Guitar Strap | ||
| No Idea | Had to come up with a band for a school project. Asked my friend, "What shall I call the band?" "No idea." And the rest is history. =3 | Cat-chan | ||
| No Labels | No Labels is cool because every one always says your Punk or Goth or a Prep and there's no point in labels when it comes to music because we all understand. | Mandi | ||
| No Name | My friends decided ta make a band & didn't have a name and on the school CD next to their song it said No Name & it just stuck. [Ed.'s note: Would their first album be titled "Untitled"?] | Loopy | ||
| No Name Maddox | As you might know, the name on Charles Manson's birth certificate was No Name Maddox, as he was an unnamed orphan. Pretty cool sounding. I came up with the idea of naming my band that, but I looked in the paper and, lo and behold, there was a band of the same name playing a local club. | JTO | ||
| No Perimeter | It basically means "no boundaries" therefore implying "we can do anything" | Marco | ||
| No Pocky For Kitty | Well, it's from a Superchunk album title, but after you've been in Japan for a while, it's almost as funny as buying a can of "Beer Water." | Rod | ||
| No Priorities | There was a "priorities" section in my middle school agenda book. My best friend was calling me lazy and decided to write down "NO PRIORITIES". We decided that was going to be our band name. But neither of us play an instrument. Hey, singers! | EGibbzz | ||
| No Privacy | It's cool because it's funny. People like to walk in on me. Let's just leave it at that. | jack | ||
| No Relation | I don't know - it just sounds kind of clever. I was watching Tiny Toons and those friggin' rabbits kept saying it so now its stuck in my head! | Coolio Janet Fan | ||
| No Room For Error | I'm not sure, probably a combination of immagination and my computer. | Steve | ||
| No S*** Sherlock | One day Kim replied to some blatantly obvious comment that I made "No S*** Sherlock" and one day, we're gonna form a cool band with that name. So don't copy! | Jamie and Kim | ||
| No Second Thoughts | I came up with this idea because I sometimes don't think twice before I do something. LOL | joe | ||
| No Self Respect | I read that there is actually a band calling themselves Purple Vulture S***. I figure if you're the kind of person who would have a name like that, you may as well use this one. It says it all. | HiredGoon | ||
| No Self Respect | I came up with this name after finding out there was actually a band at one time called Purple Vulture S***. I figure if you would actually call yourself something like that, you can use this name and people would still get the message that you have "no self-respect." | Lev007 | ||
| No Stairs Needed | My story behind this one is: Once I was playing my guitar inside an elevator and noted that it had great acoustics. It would be fun to record an album IN an elevator, just like Weird Al recorded a song in the dorm bathroom. Because of my music interests, it would probably be a Christian Rock band, so we'd do covers of "You Raise Me Up", "We Fall Down", and (a small diversion) "Stairway to Heaven". Other possible band names would be Falling Up(inspired by Shel Silverstein), and Ups and Downs. | Artsy Dude Chris | ||
| No Stairway | I nearly got our classic rock band named this due to our high concentration and quality of Led Zeppelin covers! I anticipated not playing "Stairway to Heaven" except as an encore! With a nod of inspiration from the music-store sign in Wayne's World, of course! | The Snodgrass Family | ||
| No Strings Attached | I thought of this name while talking with my friend. I thought about the N' Sync album "No Strings Attached" and thought it would make a good Band name. | Pyrate | ||
| No Talent A** Clowns | Funny line from the movie Office Space. | David Guizlo | ||
| No Time For Losers | I thought of the Queen song "We are the Champions". No quitters in the band all winners in my book :) | Freddie | ||
| No Time For The Truth | I got it from a friend saying, "You want the truth, but you can't handle the truth, you, you, you truth handler", It was very funny! | Cally | ||
| No Turn On Red | I kept seeing the signs at traffic lights, and i was like HEY cool! | Phoenix | ||
| No Vacancy | I was driving to Ocean City, MD with my grandparents, and we were tring to think of a good band name. The band name had to be written around us, so I saw on one of the hotels it said, "No Vacancy" and I thought that what be a good band name. | Alexis | ||
| No-Reception Radio | That's what we call our "band" which probably doesn't even qualify as a band at all. The name perfectly describes our "music"...Which probably doesn't even qualify as music...at all. | Mac | ||
| The No-Shows | I was in music class and a group who was preforming had hardly any people in the group coz they were away sick. Then the teacher said "The rest of them are no-shows?" and I said that that was a cool name for a band,unfortunately my friend didn't agree. | Rynn | ||
| The No-Shows | I was in music class and a group who was preforming had hardly any people in the group coz they were away sick. Then the teacher said "The rest of them are no-shows?" and I said that that was a cool name for a band,unfortunately my friend didn't agree. | Rynn | ||
| Nobbsicles & Shitake Mushrooms | A little inside joke with one of my friends. I think it sounds good. | Junior | ||
| Nobby's Nuts | I was in a pub with my mum, and they were serving a type of nuts called Nobby's Nuts. Me and my mum were talking about what to call our pop group, and my mum said "Nobby's Nuts" would be a good name for a pop group. | sonikal | ||
| The Nobodies | My friend and I were thinking of a cool band name when we finally just gave up. My friend then replied, "We're just a bunch of nobodies!" | Mel | ||
| Nobody | If your band sucks then it will make the listeners seem like good people. "Nobody sucks!" "Nobody shouldn't quit their day job." "I'm gonna stab Nobody in the eyes with a dull teething spoon." | Bocefus the great | ||
| Nobody's Heroes | It sounds cool, plus I figured that the way the band works. No one would want us to be their hero. | andrew bergamo | ||
| Nobody's Onions | My friend and I were looking up phrases from the 1920's to use in a history project. The term was "Know your Onions" but my friend thought it said "Nobody's Onions." I thought it sounded like a good band name, especially for a band that stinks so band that nobody will manage them. | Jujubee | ||
| Nocturnal Damnation | Pronounced (Damn-Nation) Basically, I've been cursed with unsteady hours into the Night, and I've switched my body to be being awake at night, and asleep in the day. It's like being permanently jetlagged in your own country. This name is cool, because the band would be sorta tired at day, which would be a metaphor for tired of being in the light. And therefore, they "roam the night" or in other words, the darkness. | Daniel Kang | ||
| Nocturnal Emissions | During puberty, boys c**** themselves in there sleep(otherwise known as a wet dream) and NOCTURNAL EMISSION is the technical term for it | JewBoyJwr | ||
| Nocturnal Light | I thought of this name because it sounded cool and it is obvious lights are used when its dark. | LEM(Live Every Moment) | ||
| The Nocturnal Majestic | My sister and I were trying to come up with a band name that not only sounded cool, but meant something. The Nocturnal Majestic is a name about how magnificent the world is at night.. We didn't end up using it but we hope someone else might!! | Faith | ||
| Noddaclu | And a twist on the other entry here, Nodaclue was a local Boston band back in the 1980's. I believe they played reggae music on the south shore. | JohnnyB | ||
| NoExit | Me and my future band were walking and we saw the street sign. We thought it was really cool. | P-dogg | ||
| Noids | Nerds from Brooklyn, maybe? | IHaveNoBrain | ||
| The Noids! | It's cool because it has no meaning, looks like a comic sound effect and is spelled with an exclamation mark. What else do you need? | Paul Garner | ||
| Noise From Toys | Inspired by all of the garage bands. | alchem99 | ||
| Noise Lesion | It's a palindrome, and it'd be a great name for a punk or metal band. | Jared | ||
| Noise Rises | I was jamming with some friends in a basement. The guy singing notices a spider on a thread of web hanging right in front of the mic. We hit the chorus at full volume, the spider crawls back up the web to the rafter. At the end of the song, the singer points all this out to everyone (nobody else noticed at the time). I replied "going up the web won't help... noise rises". We played a couple of clubs under that name before disbanding. | fobner | ||
| The Noise Tanks | It's a group of vandals from the game "JET SET RADIO". | Ben | ||
| Noisome | A name for a really racy heavy metal group...........shocking lyrics.....in one of my fanfics (Jem) Jem and the Holograms are sweet girls, and they're on a tour.......the Misfits are also on tour, and their tour is called Noisome. | Colorado Kid | ||

| Non Vocal Screamers | You think over it, it's a psychedelic! | aditya B | ||
| The Non-Bleachable Whites | This is one of the categories into which I separate my laundry. I have four categories: bleachable whites(e.g towels,underwear), non-bleachable whites (e.g. white polo shirts), darks (e.g. blue jeans), and reds (e.g. red polo shirts). | Hugh G. Rection | ||
| Non-Fiction Real Tiger Brand Kids | This is on the tag of my shirt I just mixed it up that's all chow. | hamp | ||
| Non-Practicing Witches | This is a cool name because you have a trio of females who dress up like witches, but do not practice any magic spells. It's Stevie Nicks times three. | band | ||
| NON-Toxic | was gonna be my band name but we just decided on somthin else. off a Crazy Town song. might be good 4 a punk band | narly | ||
| Nonce (as in 'none' with a 'sss') | I got this from Thrice. Thrice has got to be the coolest word ever. It got me thinking you have once, twice, thrice.... but what about no times? So, there you go... Nonce. | Nona Urbizness | ||
| None But Us | My friend and I were driving down the road to go to a party and the person hosting the party called my friend and asked if we brought any other people and my friend said nope none but us in the car. I thought it was funny | lexis | ||

| Norge | It's the brand of my old fridge. I think its brilliant, personally. | becca | ||
| The North American Giant Salamander | Actually, this was a real band, for about thirty seconds. I was the bass player and also named the band. My xbf, who played guitar (the fact that he did not actually know how to play guitar did not dissuade him in the least), had been for a walk in a rural area that bordered the town we lived in, and came back claiming that he had seen a North American Giant Salamander in a small creek. My first thought, "That would be a great name for a band!" So, when we got together with a friend who also did not know how to play guitar, and a coworker who actually did know how to play the drums, well... The only reason I bothered to show up for what we called "practice" was so I could jam with the drummer. But alas he had to leave town in a hurry because he owed a lot of money that he didn't have to several different crack dealers. | The Asbestos Mango | ||
| Northshore | It's the name of the road i live on. Northshore Drive. It's a little too fruity for my band. Hope someone can use it. | Ej | ||
| Nose Fart | ...is a program for winamp for playing NSF files, which are NES music files. I like using "not so, fatso!" better, but anyway, the people making those things are trying like crazy to work the names around the letters "NSF". | something clever |
