Names -> Cool Band Names -> P, 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 P are split into multiple pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6
Name | Origin | Submitted by: | ||
| Pearliestan | playing scrabble and my friend wanted onus points off of the word pearlie (dont know how she got that in the first place) and my band was at it for a while with that name but it kinda just shook off...its cool if someone uses it though | T.J. | ||
| The Pears Of Anguish | I came up with it when a mate did a school lecture on torture techniques. The pear of anguish was one of the devices he mentioned. It just sounds well good. | CJ69 | ||
| Pecho | I was in Spanish, reading a Christmas poem. One line went "He stood erect with his hand on his pecho." It just sounds dirty and I like it. [Ed.'s note: "Pecho" in English is "chest".] | marisa | ||
| Pechos Privilegiados All Star Band | well, naturally an english-spanish combination is cool!!!, this was take from a spanish magazine named "la mosca en la pared", as a copy from a U2 song. | charles di filerio | ||
| Peckerwood Valedictorians | Their grandparents are the ones that came up with the idea of buttoning just one strap on their overalls and all have names like Lilly Belle and Spooner. And they all had the highest grade point average in mid school, yes that was a mighty fine time to be 22, engaged to your sister, and everythang wuz alraght with the world | badboybear | ||
| Peckerwood Wristwatch | It's a jail joke, but it sounds like a good name. | de de de | ||
| Pedestrian Detour | I don't really know what it would mean. I saw a sign that said that once. | Merlin | ||
| The Pedestrianz | One time, I was just driving down the road, and I saw a "Pedestrian Walking Only" sign. | Jamie | ||
| Pedigree Hybrid | Complete opposites | Josh Doran | ||
| The Pedigree of Sir Felix | One night, my friend Elijah and I were sitting around and started typing a "cheezy romance novel", which is an activity we do quite often, and it came to be called "The Boot of Sir Felix". Later on that night, there came to be a part of the novel which referred to the pedigree of our hero, our sexy sir, Sir Felix, who is actually a dog. It was kind of crazy. yeah, so we added it to the list of outrageously outrageous band names (another thing we like to do) and so it began! | Johnnie O. Bloom | ||
| Peeping Tom & the Private Eyes | Something my older brother thought up. He said it just went with the flow, like Me First & the Gimme Gimmes. | Stockton | ||
| Peiroette When Shot | This one I came up with watching old war movies and every time someone got shot they would do a peiroette, or spin and fall. I know the term because a gay friend of mine does one when he is happy and taught us all this ballet s*** so I thaught of him. | Frankie V | ||
| Pekinese Duck | A play on either "Peking Duck" (a Chinese delicacy) or a Pekinese dog breed. Since some Chinese can eat either or depending on their financial situation. | Chong | ||
| Pen Island | Write it on a piece of paper with no spaces and you'll see. | cock head | ||
| PEN15 | At first glance, it kinda looks like PENIS. Pretty cool | Meathead | ||
| Pencil-Neck Geeks | This is a song by pro-wrestler Fred "Classy" Blassie, who wanted to wipe out the title characters. And Blassie was Andy Kaufman's favorite wrestler. | Number 2 | ||
| Penelope's Pissed-Off | Based on the Hanna-Barbera cartoon "Penelope Pitstop", and a cool riot gi-r-r-r-r-rl band. | ugh | ||
| Penguin Killer | well.. i love penguins and i made up this whole story about how i have 17 evil penguins in my head and my friend threatened to kill them so i said "PENGUIN KILLER!!!" and she said "wow, that would be a cool band name..." | Jordan | ||
| Penguins of Doom | Imagine a 50's style horror film of people being pecked to death by tuxedos. | didymus7 | ||
| The Penilephants | it sounds cool. it's the merging of the word "penile" which is cool and an elephant. also makes a good insult (you're a penilephant!) | microgal | ||
| Penitent Tangent | Penitent means to feel remorse for sin, and tangent means like a line.. Sounds cool - figure out your own meaning to it... | SYNITH | ||
| Pennies In The Clothes Hamper | Living with small children makes one say so many odd things. A few months ago, I found myself saying to a 2 year old, "How about let's not put pennies in the clothes hamper?" There is probably some exciting metaphor for life in that phrase, if I could only think of it. | Carolee | ||
| Penny Arcade | i was trying to come up with a band name...and i opened up the dictionary and the first word on the page was penny arcade...i thought it sounded interesting...but my other friends didn't agree | Lindsay | ||
| PennyFront | Nickelback? Why not Penny Front? | allan fitz | ||
| Pennyless Paris Putas | a great name for a grimy banging hardcore grinding grunge group, all female hot group wearing torn fishnet stockings and punked out florescent hair and pasty white, mime makeup with heart red smeared lipstick, and look so rough they would be too ugly to make a dime as hookers. | badboybear | ||
| The Pensive | Pensive means..."deeply, often wistfully or dreamily thoughtful." It just makes good sense. | Mat | ||
| Pentarky | looking through the dictionary one day my friend and i came across this word. it means a government ruled by 5 people and at the time there were 5 people in our band...hence the name | KyM | ||
| Penumbra | it means half- light or shadow in spanish..kinda cool i thought.. | Big Al | ||
| People Of Positivity | They would be the exact opposite of Nabobs of Negativism. Very positive upbeat music that would uplift people and just make them feel good. Their songs would be very optimistic. | Edward | ||
| Pep Kat Jones and the Titty-Twisters | My best friend's boyfriends came to school one day and were all "We are gonna start a band, and our name is Pep Kat Jones and the Titty-Twisters!" Hillarious. It's a good name for a ska/2-step band. | michelle | ||
| The Pepper Colony | I thought the name leper colony was pretty good, in fact I was coming up with dozens of names. My wife began to mock me by writing altered versions of the names. This one is actually OK | gibberer | ||
| Pepper Sqad | i came up with this name while i was writing one of my songs. I compared myself to a pepper because it was hot and my flo is hot so me and my bois call our selfs the pepper sqad | SLiMCAT | ||
| Pepper Stars | My grandma had a dog named Pepper with... digestive problems to say the least, and sometimes when Pepper would get up after sitting somewhere for a long time, she would leave a brown smear which my grandmother (being a polite and proper 1950's housewife) referred to as pepper stars. | Ursula | ||
| Pepsidona | Because I screw up the English Language all the time. I was trying to say baking soda, but was thinking pepcid AC. | Erin | ||
| The Perds | It's a pimp and a nerd combined. Can't you picture a pimp black guy tearing up the guitar at the same time as a skinny nerdy white on the drum set? | Mr. Pimpy Nerd | ||
| The Perfect Giraffes | This comes from a theological argument I read recently which said that if God is the sum of all perfections, then He must, of necessity, be the Perfect Giraffe. Could be a good name for a Christian rock band. | Jenny | ||
| Perfect Imperfections | I was going to start a band with a few friends, but we could never finish songs we wrote for a long time (until we got better). We began to call the pieces of songs that we liked "perfect imperfections", because they were great, but incomplete. | Amy Thompson | ||
| Perfumed Nasal Mucus | our gang had a contest to come up with the most disgusting name possible-I won hands down. | manoj | ||
| Perky Turkey | This came up because a girl flashed us, and if you didn't watch out, those "Perky Turkeys" would poke your eye out. | Michael | ||
| Permanent Nomad | You see, nomads move around a lot so you could still be a Permanent Nomad. I just think it's funny. | Elizabeth | ||
| Perrywinkle | It sounds interesting while sitting in baking class. | Shakia Diamond | ||
| Personal Space Invaders | A cross between personal space, and the video game Space Invaders, I got the idea from a t-shirt that a friend of mine had that had Garfield on the front saying you're invading my personal space. It sounds so modern and hip. I think because we are becoming an overcrowded world and every one is always complaining about not having enough space or time for themselves. I think they would kind of techno or "new wave" like the 80s bands like The Cars or maybe Blondie. I even came up with a title for their debut album, Nowhere To HIde. | Ed | ||
| Personal Strangers | Old band I played in.... We thought we could hand out condoms for when you got "personal with a stranger"........ Though it was a cool name | Greg | ||
| Personification of Hate | Sounds Emo right? Well, I was going for that | Cpt. Neeb | ||
| The Perturbed | A fine possible name for a midwestern punk band. A band to be feared - and respected! | Ammie | ||
| The Perturbed Ones | A teen punk rock band inspired by their parent's constant nagging and high demands of adolescents in today's society! Basically your average punkers! | Pigertaws | ||
| The Peso Takers | Mexican Banditos! Yay! The world needs more of them! How cool would that be-- a mexican rock band! They could weAR like Zorro masks or something! | Pigertaws | ||
| The Pet Gods Sacrafice | I was looking at this website, and my dog which is a pomeranian was sitting on my lap. I held her up in the air like Simba is on Iion king. I was like "sacrafice". Then I looked over at my cat, and was like this would be a cool band name - "Sacrafice Your Pets to the Gods." That sounded to long, like an ad. Then it was changed to Sacrafice Pets Gods, that was just DUMB. Then I thought up The Pet Gods Sacrafice. It sounds deep and dark. Almost 17th century gothic like. | bad_gurl | ||
| Pet Rock | A band named after the best invention ever. | Transfersion | ||
| Peter and the Excavators | I was watching this show on Discovery Channel one time, and these guys were building a suspension bridge or something, and the narrator said something like, "If Peter and the excavators don't get here on time, that could cause some serious problems." And I thought that it was a pretty good name. | Mitch | ||
| Peter Jackoffsky | I thought this band name would be a clever pun on the name of the 19th century composer Peter Tchaikovsky. | Renard | ||
| Petrified Garden Gnomes | Hmmmm... it's cool because how many bands can you think of with the word petrified, garden, or gnomes in it? NONE! Something I came up with while driving past a house with gnomes on the lawn. I realize that gnomes are petrified. I just thought it was a tight name! | Pigertaws | ||
| Petticoat Mafia | Just has a nice ring to it. It's a totally juxtaposition of two extremely different images. | Miki Koishikawa | ||
| PG-13 | Well me and my friends started this band called "PG-13". It didn't really work out but I still love the name! | Chassidy | ||
| PG-13 | In my band, we all are about the age of 13. It's just a cool name. | Roper32 | ||
| Phairly Insane | it is perfect for anyone who is crazy or daring but not so crazy that it hurts yourself or others! i like it i was going to use it for my band but they just didnt like it. | plaidloser | ||
| Pham's Nebraska Hat | In college, I had a friend named Pham, who always wore a University of Nebraska hat (we went to school in Florida, and he wasn't even from Nebraska). The first single would be called "Big Red Corn." | Ace! | ||
| Phantasmagoria | A constantly changing scene composed of numerous elements. It could be compared to illusions, but the name sounds sweet!! | Stuart | ||
| Phantasmagoria | a quickly changing series of illusory or fantastic images, as experienced in dreams. a representation of different, often fantastic images, as seen in certain styles of art. it has something to do with dreamig... and when people first become a star the say its just like a dream...so this is just a diffrent name for a dream... and it sound kinda cool and like something that not many people would think of... | alygal | ||
| phantasmagoria | it used to be my bands name i think it ment when you see things or visions that are not really there. | sionic | ||
| The Phantasms | It's a thing that activates all five senses. | smurfy | ||

| Phase Doubt of Focus | I was listening to my friends talking about the video game they were playing. One of them said, "That creep just phased outta focus, then disappeared. I doubt if he's still alive." Well, I jumped up and said ,"Thats a great band name!" My friends thought I was nuts because they didn't hear what they had just said. So I wrote it out (changing it around a little) but they still thought I was crazy. But it struck me as cool, and I stick by it. | Giddy Gracer | ||
| Phase Two | my band and me were at wendys, and trying to think of a band name for us.....we were drivin in my car on the way back,and as we pulled into my subdivision, its fairly new, and theyr still building..the sign said "phase two comming soon" we thot it wud be cool to name our band phase two..then take a pic of the sign and put it on our website..like a logo.. | mike | ||
| Phased | A guy on an internet chess-playing site uses it as his "handle". Why is it cool? If ya gotta say why... | guy derosa | ||
| Phat Phinesse | I was listening to Fatboy Slim while I was working out at a local healthclub, and the word "fitness" came to mind right as I thought of the word fat. I thought, Add "PH" and that'll be cool. | Brandon | ||
| Phate | One of my friends is what would call a "Hacker", and we were just sitting a few seconds ago and thought that this would be cool. I guess hackers like to put "Ph" in place of the letter F or something. I like it | Carver Mangolia | ||
| Phearus | Phearus came from Fear Us, we just added the ph instead of the F now it mean Please Hear Us..... www.phearusmusic.com go visit our website | AJ | ||
| Pheonix ZERO | I just thought of a Harry Potter book, and it just popped into my head. | 007bradz | ||

| Philanthropy | I heard it in some game I was playin lol, it means ' a love of mankind' | Mike | ||
| Phineas Gage | I learned about this guy in Psychology. He was a miner during the 1800's. He was setting up some dynamite in a mine when it accidently went off. The explosion sent a 2 foot metal cylinder through is head. It tore through his frontal lobe, but miraculously he still lived. From then on, he couldn't sensor his thoughts, and he would have violent bouts of anger towards everything. He became a town legend. | Brendan D | ||
| Phixx | sounds like a typical boyband name. fix as in manufactured. | penny | ||
| Phlatulence | I took flatulence [farts (for all those who don't know what flatulence is)] and spelled it with the first two letters of my last name. | Nick Phillips | ||
| Phleem | It's from a really old Dilbert cartoon. This is perfect if you wanna be vaguely disgusting yet squeaky clean, since it sounds like 'phlegm' but it's not. | IHaveNoBrain | ||
| phlegm fatale | i just love the sound of it. it would be great for a chick punk band. | katrina | ||

| Phoebe es en Fuego | It's from "Malcolm in the Middle", when they start a Spanish code to say that a girl is hot. It's like an idiom, but it's cool because it sounds professional and it's kinda funny at the same time. | Nishant Casey | ||
| Phone Call From Beyond The Grave | It's kind of long, but I think it's cool. I heard it from the movie "Monster House". When the old man died, the old man's house called the little guy then he was cared and all was like "yadda-yadda blah-blah". Then a guy named Bones said, " A phone call..from beyond the grave!!" | Oh no! | ||
| Phoney Real Estate | It's an oxymoron. I mean, is there a such thing as phoney estate? | buy | ||
| Phonobia | I have a unrational fear of the telephone. | Deathawk | ||

| Phototsynthesis | I think there's probably a lot of bands with this name, but just incase...it sounds like some band a teacher made up for a science project, crossed with Evanescence. | Elisabeth | ||
| Phycotoxic | I came up with it mixing Toxicity(song by System of a Down) and Phyco. | jimmy | ||
| Physhaotic | well this is cool becuase it well just is it can discribe someone who is out there and wild or just different and punks and sk8rs arnt only different but they can help others mold. Forge there own path. | Cara | ||
| Physical Drive Error | I was talkin to my friend about why he had to get a new notebook pc. Turns out his original notebook pc somehow developed a physical drive error. And I thought 'Man thats a cool term.' Makes it sound like its goin crazy or sumthin. | Jack | ||
| Physical Properties | Onetime during science class, we were talking about the Periodic Table of Elements. The teacher told us about Phisical Properties. It sounds like a real band name, but it's not. That's why I think it's cool. | student teacher | ||
