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.

| Nervous Rocks | My daughter said we should go collect "nervous rocks" one day. I think she had heard the phrase "nervous wreck" somewhere. There it was though, my perfect band name. | beajerry | ||
| The Nervous Ticks | It could either mean spurts of nervousness or ticks that drink too much coffee. | Rock Maninoff | ||
| Nessie and the Show Girls | well first of all, how many simpsons fans remember the episode where mr. burns, homer and groundskeeper willy go too scotland to catch the lochness monster? well i was watching it and i saw him in las vegas, and well las vegas has show girls so i put 2 and 2 together and got (no not 4) Nessie and the Show Girls! Also Napolean Dynamite! Call upon the local wizards to cast a spell over the lake and all the people who wish to keep our underwater allie | i wish i was cool | ||
| Netti Spaghetti | It rhymes | Marcia | ||

| Neutercane | Briefly in the 1970's, weather forecasters called strange storms outside the tropics that resembled hurricanes "neutercanes". | Johnny D | ||
| Neutered Rooster | while getting drunk at the local recording studio, i was asked what a capon was? hence my reply and a band was born. | connie payne | ||

| Never 2 Lazy | I was messing around with cool ideas for user names and came up with this. I thought it would be a cool band name too. =) | me | ||
| Never Clever | A fun band to listen to, but the lyrics are pretty simple. | RevengeFromMars YouTube | ||
| Never Ending Headache | amazing it could also be a cool name for a song | No Name | ||
| Never Ending Stupidy | Its What I have So i thought to put it as a band name | Ryan 'RyKnow' gonzalez | ||
| Never Forever | Admitting that nothing lasts forever is the first step to having a great band. | RevengeFromMars YouTube | ||
| Never Odd or Even | Well, it doesn't quite make sense. Plus, it is a palindrome, and the logo could be some sort of cool anagram. | Josh | ||
| Never the Same Place Twice | Based on a tv commercial ad for "TJ Max," women's clothing.store . They kept repeating: "TJ Max -it's never the same place twice". I kept wondering "how do you find out where the store is, if it is never at the same place twice?"! | MarjoMarjo | ||
| The Neverending Orgy-nators | Great for porno, don't you think? | Dark One | ||
| Nevermind/The Neverminders | These are two band names that I've come up with, both named after the famous Nirvana album. | Ned Riley | ||
| Nevermore | Kind of gothy? | Mandy | ||
| Neverwas And The Hasbeens | It's kinda funny and cute at the same time, like the band would be poking fun at themselves YEAH! | jay el dubbya | ||
| New Age Metal | (This was actually supposed to be a name for a genre, not a band): it was the company name for the place that manufactured the bread racks at the bakery I used to work at. Hilarious combination!! | heather em | ||
| New Damage | To me it means, 'Oh s***! This band is reinventing music as we regret to know it, and their crushing everything in their path'. | Kevin | ||
| New Entries | Great for a band name. Informing the public that they have arrived. Never gets old, because their always "New". It was the first thing I saw when I looked to the left of this blog. | Elaine | ||
| New Found Paradise | Oliver Bloxham | |||
| The New Gnus | New and gnu are homophones, and gnus are new at the zoo. | Opie M. | ||

| New Kids Revenge | I think this is cool because everyone always picks on the new kid. This is his revenge! | Dylan | ||
| New Management | I saw on a door to this one local store that it is "under new management". I thought that new management sounded like a cool name for a band. | squirrelguy931 | ||
| The New Republic | a thing in a Star Wars book. | Junior | ||
| A New Scenario | The band that takes upon this name must be worthy of it's meaning. It represents being different and not being classified as your stereotypical musician. The band must take different routes to producing a sound like no other. It's been bred a different type of scenario....a new scenario | Uzgottafro2 | ||
| New Super Black Wolf | A parody of the most common words used in contemporary band names. | sean orr | ||
| New Year's Revolution | I was talking to my friend about new year's resolutions and I said "revolution" by mistake and then I thought "Hey, that should be a band name!" | Hawky | ||
| New York Knishes | A rejected name for New York City's XFL team, or a Manhattanite ska-jazz band with a sense of humor? Their first album could be called "Vicious Knishes." | Olvan The Terrible | ||
| New-Fi Glory | One of my friends is a newfie, and he wants to start a band, and he was thinking of names. I like New FOund GLory so i suggested this. | Alex Burpee | ||
| NEX | I looked it up on the internet. It apparently means "slaughter", which I think is quite a cool name for a band. | Bagginski | ||
| Next In Line | Do you need a reason? This ROCKS! Also gives the impression that you will get big (Famous). Came up with it from being in a queue!! | Matt Chinnock | ||
| Next of Kin | Because this is the person who gets notified when someone dies, so it sounds cool for a heavy band, or maybe someone like the Tea Party. | Archie Broughton | ||
| Next Week's Menu | me and my friend big Dave were walking out of the lunch hall at school and there was a pink sign that said next week's menu. we took it for our band but then the band kind of split up. so i joined another band and that's our name | Jonny C | ||
| 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 | ||
| NI-YON | I think it sounds like a great unused rapper name! | G | ||
| 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 | ||
| Nick and the Munchkins | I saw the band name on Nickelodeon at the beginning of a fake music video, and I heard a voice say "Hey, who requested that?" It was just a clip of the music video. | Isac | ||
| 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 | ||
| Nicki Mirage | It's a mix of "mirage" and Nicki Minaj. Also, "Mirage" is said the same as her real last name, Maraj. | JeReMy | ||

| Nicotine Angst | Much like "teen angst" but with more addiction. | RevengeFromMars YouTube | ||
| 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 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 | ||
| Niji$quad | It's cool because it has an interesting sound to the name. I came up with it by making random sounds in my head and I thought it was a name that would ring in people's ears. | Michael Hanover | ||
| 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 | ||
| Ninja Nun Convention | I figure this would work for a band that wants to be funny. | IHaveNoBrain | ||
| 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 | ||
| Nixon's Sh*tlist | Richard Nixon, the President (allegedly) kept a list of his enemies in a secret place. The list included actor Paul Newman! | Lance Crackers | ||
| Nizani Rebels | It sounds cool. | The Mole | ||
| 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 Country for Old Men | A geezer band that doesn't like country music. | Cheam Peake | ||
| 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 Eat Magic Fire | An old joke my cousin made up a long time ago about cavemen. | G | ||
| 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 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 FURY | Made this up about 4 years ago when I was back in high school. It was my bands name for about a week and we stopped liking it. It's not taken, so feel free to use it :) | Brandon | ||
| 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 Mas Pantalones | It is Spanish for "no more pants", It's also from a commercial. | JeReMy | ||
| No More Classical Music | Hmm... | Somebody | ||
| 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 Passing Craze | It's part of a lyric from a song I listened to as a kid | The Mole |
