Names -> Cool Band Names -> O, 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 O are split into multiple pages: 1 2

| Opus 38 | Cool name for a punk band. Its taken from an essay by James Thurber about people who name their dogs things that don't mean anything. Its perfect for a band that doesn't want a meaningful name. | Spikenard38 | ||
| Opus; Life of a Penguin | Opus is a kickass cartoon. I think he's a penguin. Yeah, whatever. Rock on. | nobody | ||
| The Orange Barrel Crew | Orange barrels, obstacles that close driving lanes under construction, are everywhere on interstates all across America. Here's a salute to the people who have to work by them. | party | ||

| Orange Fetusi | It sounds..odd..it came from meeting an orange, which looked like a fetus at the time....and my freind says "i" to pluralize anything..so fetusi.... | the incredible myself | ||
| Orange Fuzzy Balls | Over March Break we were playing pool, and we were talking about my friend's cat who is getting nuttered so that led to talking about Orange Fuzzy Balls. | Stephanie and Brittny | ||

| The Ordinary Phenomenon | The Ordinary Phenomenon would be a cool name because it doesn't make sense. It's like an oxymoron, you know? Phenomenon means something extraordinary and unusual...so how could it possibly be ordinary? | MZ and Da BZ | ||
| Oregon Trail | From the title of the classic computer game. They could be a bluegrass or country band from Oregon. (Or Independence, Missouri, of course.) And they could sing about getting typhoid and dysentery, running out of food, or having thieves break into their trailers and steal their clothes. (Trust me. If you played the game, you'd find this hilarious.) | Olvan The Terrible | ||
| Organized Conformity | Was an idea for the band I am in, good for political bands with negative views on religion. | anarchydude@oldschoolpunk.com | ||

| The Orgasmic Hamburgers | It's something a guy said on some lame reality show once. It just stuck in my head. | rachel | ||
| Orgasmic Pig and the Screaming Vomit Weenies | I post this in remembrance of my middle school band director. (The name actually came from his head) Sad thing is, it's the only thing I remember about him. I can't even remember his name. | Frizznank | ||
| Oricle | Spelt with an "A" and not an "I." But to make this one stand out, we added the "I" to give it an extra added mystery about it. It also sounds great with "the" infront of it as well. Got the idea from the Matrix. "The Oracle shall tell you your destiny." | Igotyagood | ||
| Orpheus | Orpheus is the greek god of music! it sounds kick ass! does in not? | Krysten | ||
| Oryon's B3LT/Oryon | This is probably gonna be the weirdest explanation, but here goes. I was trying to think of a name for a band that I just drew on paper, made up of three characters from a show I like. That show is often crossed over as fanfiction with the Harry Potter series. I had just finished reading the fifth book, in which a character by the name of Sirius had died. Sirius is the 'dog star', and I learned about a few of the largest stars that day. So, turns out that there's a belt of three stars, Orion's Belt. Sounded cool to me! So, I cameup with 'Oryon' and 'Oryon's B3LT' so that it might stand out more. I might use just plain 'Orion' or 'Orion's Belt', however. So, I went from making a name for a fictional band, to naming mine after a star! Um...yeah. | Derakii (kume_angel@hotmail.com) | ||
| Osama Been Skatin' | just look at it...self-explanitory. I'm a fashion design major and I ultimately want to make skatewear. So my buddy matt and I were conspiring (half-assedly) and that's what we got. Haha, YEAH! | emily | ||
| Osama's Magic Carpet | i got this frum an AIM buddy icon on quickbuddyicons.com, where osama bin laden wuz riding on a magic carpet with a missile right behind him | go me | ||
| Oscar Mayer Mayhem | It just...well, it sounds rad to begin with, but bologna can definately cause some chaos..."squeek" | Renee | ||
| Osmium (or Osmium/Iridium) | Just perfect for a "heavy metal" band, since this metal is the densest on the Periodic Table of elements. Actually the element Iridium is so close in density to Osmium, it could be used as well, or in combo. | Jim Eckert | ||
| Otaku | Technically, it's Japanese for "you and yours." But currently, it's used to mean "nerd" or "geek". However Japan fans in America use it to mean "Japan fan". I'm a Japan fan. We need an Otaku band. | Amy | ||
| Other Natural Flavors | It's on a lot of soda's. That's about it. And they probably aren't even natural, they're probably artificial. | No One | ||

| Our Motive | It asks you the questionwhat is the motive, and to what. That is what my band is named. I came up with it while listing to The Offspring. | Ski | ||
| The Ourselves | We had a gig coming up but no band name, we just decided that it would be cool if we said after the final song "thank you we've been ourselves" | DaveTHErave | ||
| Out Of Luck | It was a lyric, in one of the songs my band has written, and it is now our band name. | Brian Levey | ||

| Outhouse | My friends and I were trying to think of a band name, and we said Bath House. My friend, who goes camping a lot and actually uses outhouses, said "Hey, what about Outhouse!" And my friends and I were like, "What?" And he goes, "You know, a place were you take a shit when ther'es no regular toilet around." So, that's what we decided...on not using. | Matt | ||
| Outstanding Confirmists | It's a cool oxymoron-ish name for a political band | Greg | ||
| Overblued | It came up when we realized that all the songs that we played were all sad love songs. | niko salazar | ||
| Overdose | I am trying to think of bandnames for my band...and this one came up in my mind...I probably wouldn't use it for the fear of someone thinking we're a drug band...but hey if there's a band called "Dope" why not overdose? | Molly | ||
| The OverNighters | Now everyone says it's impossible to make a band overnight. Why not prove them wrong? I did, we did it in 1 night!- Thomo | Thomo | ||

| The Ovesons | I think its a cool band name because it just sounds awesome, plus i have a really cool friend who's got that last name. | Michael Roberts | ||

| Oxy-Dumbass | A synonym to oxymoron (in a way). | Mike101 | ||

Ya know how they carry around those canisters that are filled with oxygen--plus the heavy breathing, well, there you go, Senior Stoners....hey, that's a good name too. | Jessica Elle | ||
| The Oxymorons | An oxymoron is listed as "the combination of contradictory words". Not only does it sound cool, but would be good for a band in which all members have totally different styles/personalities. | Meredith | ||
| The Oxypads | A nifty name for the band that once had bad acne but now thanks to oxypads it has gone away. I was washing my face last night and the idea just came to me! | Pigertaws | ||
| Oyster Marmalade | Just thaught it would make a great name for a Pearl Jam tribute band. | Clare Williams | ||
| Ozone | Well, it's about the strangest sounding 2 syllable word in the English language. The images conjured by it really would add to the flavor of whatever band or group (I'd suggest either metal or techno) uses it. | M. Eng | ||
