Names -> Cool Band Names -> P, Page 4
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

| Pocketdetectors | It should be pocketPROtectors, but it's pocketDEtectors. There will be alot of confusion at first, but then people will get it and you'll be on top of the world. I came up with it trying to get a cool name for my weezer.com screen name. | Monica | ||
| Pockets of Resistance | I've always heard this term on the news... ever since I was in high school. Whenever they're referring to killing off the last of whoever is giving the superior force crap. I always swore this would be my band's name. | peligro | ||
| Poetic Feet | A friend and I were in English class one day; and we were studying poetry. And talking about the way Edgar Allan Poe used lines in "The Raven" as a poetic foot. We were talking and decided that it would be a good name for an EMO band. | Tanuki | ||
| Poignant Pimple Popers | We need a band name that is the true antithesis of all those "pretty - Boy" bands. i.e. NSYNC, 98 degrees, etc. | Mizta Tomz | ||
| The Poindexters | this sounds too good to not be take already, but I thought of it while watching Revenge of the Nerds. The scene in the end where they do the musical competition and Poindexter's all punked out and playing the violin. i love poindexter and I thought it would be cool for a punk or geek rock band. Now to convince my bandmates of the same..... | ........I'll never tell | ||

| Point Of No Return | from the phantom of the opera, classic phrase, thought itd be good name for any kind of band, some kind of hard rock or metal maybe | Alex | ||
| Point Of Order | Phrase used in a really erratic card game my friends and I play, equivalent to saying 'time-out'. Awesome name for a band with Pearl Jam-type lyrics. Unfortunately, it spells P.O.O. | State of the Onion | ||

| Poison Vibe | Could you just imagine it? "And here performing tonight... POISON VIBE!" It would be incredibly awesome. Poison makes the name sound edgy and dangerous. The word 'vibe' is just the vibe of the music. It would suit a rock, industrial, or metal band. | Scarlett | ||
| Poisonous Mushrooms | I'm not sure really if it's cool or not, but I got the name from the vanilla ice song "ice ice baby". I think it would be a good ska group. Their first album should be simply called : PM. | S-dog | ||

| Polterguist | for the people who knows what this is this band name means that you will have two bands in one for the others who dont well polterguist is something like a live ghost of an already existing human who is not dead..something like an alive spirit which is also a cool band name actually :O) | Kat | ||
| Polyester Dept. | just think about it, its a kick ass name, that's why its amazing, it sounds kick ass | sexxy_moh_gurl | ||
| Polymorph | 'Star Wars' had Nerf-Herder, 'Star Trek' had T'Pau, 'Red Dwarf' has Polymorph. | Two-Faced Goblin | ||
| Polyphemos | its one of the only things i learned in english class that i can teach other people when they ask besides i also get to look up pictures of eyeballs ( P.S Polyphemos is the name of the cyclops in the odessey) | Panda | ||
| Polyphonic Police | It's music related. It sounds tough because cops are bad a**. | Steve Wilson | ||

| PoP (Prodigies of Peace) | This is a lyric from the Red Hot Chili Peppers' song Righteous and the Wicked, and I've always thought it'd be cool. You could get people thinking with the PoP shortening, and the small 'o' works even better. | HMC Hammer | ||
| Pop My Cherry Cola | It's all about the double entendre (think Spanish) I originally gave this name to a drink a bartender didn't have a name for. The drink was so good it warranted finding another way to say "screw me running". | LeroyTanaka | ||
| Pop Rocks n Soda | Inspired by the urban legend, that if you drink Coca Cola and have Pop Rocks at the same time, you'll explode (or something along those lines). I've actually tried it before out of curiosity and....nothing happened. o_O Hmm. | FuNkY mOnKeY | ||

| Pope Cathy The Gay Bagelizer | I was stoned befor the new pope electon and my friend Sean(mono-brow) asked me who i wanted to become pope so I said that and we p***ed ourselves laughing for an hour (kids, don't drink more than 6 redbulls at a time) | Frankie guess who | ||
| Popeye's Chicken & The Biscuits | I was eating Popeye's the other day, and I was like, 'Hey that's a f***in' cool name for a band. I might actually use it for my band, I'm not sure though. [Ed's note: I would first try to get permission from Popeye's HQ. | walksman | ||
| Popular Nobody | I'm not popular at school but everybody says I'm the coolest person they know.So that makes me a popular nobody. | Acasha | ||
| The Porch Monkeys | There were these guys across the street playing on the porch. We went over and drank some beer with them. when they were done I askes what their band name was and they replied the porch band in a joking way. So i just added monkeys to it and we just sat their and laughed. It was cool | John | ||

| Position 54 | We had a band meeting and were going for something that had to do with Kama Sutra, we didn't like the wheelbarrow or the flying crane......so there. | Geoff | ||
| Positive Negative Men | Named after an episode of THE AVENGERS. One of the best episodes (with one of the most creative villains), and a pretty cool name at that. | Todd W. Zimmerman | ||
| Posse | why it is cool because posse is like another word to use for group or band. So Posse is just another way of saying it. How I came up with it is i listen to a group called the insane clown posse. I thought of posse as a group or band name so i thoght posse sounds cool. | Adam Siders | ||

| Possible Paradox | I've always been fascinated by paradoxes. So whenever I think up song titles or band names I try to enclose a paradox in it. However, that is too easy, so I try to let the name contain two words that start with the same letter. The paradox here: a paradox constitutes an impossibility, hence can't be possible. Call it the paradox of paradoxes. | TowerU | ||
| Post Metal Syndrome | i actually played in a band named this, although we weren't metal and none of had any kind of syndrome either | oldmangrady | ||

| The Potential Mormons | My friends and I always joked how I dated religious people even though I've never been to church or anything. My boyfriend at the time was a "potential Mormon". So when I said that, my best friend said that "The Potential Mormons" would be a great band name. | Unknown | ||
| Potentially Violent Youth | This came out of something in my Adolescent Psychology class, where we were discussing the characteristics of potentially violent youth. | subject to change | ||
| Potluck Porpoises | Well it totally fit because potluck is like food and all porpoises do is eat! | TaY tAy | ||
| Potted Meat | how much more American can you get? yes, this really exists...and it probably looks more appetizing coming out the other end. and it comes with so many other fun names: "Mechanically Separated Chicken" and "Partially Defatted Cooked Pork Fatty Tissue". | Keith | ||
| Pottymouth | Would be a great name for a Techno/Electronic Artist | karnov | ||
| Poultry Mouth | Well one day my friend and I were thinking of cool band names, and I suggested "the restrooms" and he laughed really hard and started talking in a British accent and said things like, "Call me poultry mouth will ya?

| Poultrygeist | Imagine a michevious chicken ghost, clucking in the dead of night and laying "mystery eggs!" | Mongoose Eyeball | ||

| The Powdered Toastmen | the guy from ren and stimpy. in the form of a band....and pluralized. | Adam | ||
| Power Lloyd | The band I'm in. A reference to the 1989 movie "Say Anything." | That guy | ||
| Power Play | My friend and I were making up songs and I say "Im going to play that power play part again." And thus, Power Play was born. | Scooter | ||
| Power Tard | I actually saw this written on a bus somewhere in Canada. I think it's supposed to be a type of engine or something, but I think it would make a better band name. | Kerry | ||
| The Poweyraiders | I came up with this name oneday because my friends and I wanted a group name like the Power Rangers. We picked The Poweraiders because each of were drinking a different colored Powerade. | Ajg | ||
| Pownstars | "Powned" is like "played and owned". It sounds like "pornstar", so yea. | adam | ||
| Poyzon | It's a rendition of Poison, and it is like Mudvayne. I am actually trying to create a band for the name. I got stung by a wasp, and this is how I got the name. | S.T.G. | ||
| pr0n | Because pr0n is porno and everybody likes it. | WoOy | ||
| Praalinay | I have a friend who says words weird (sometimes she means to, sometimes she doesn't). Anyway, this was her take on the word 'praline'. | Alice | ||
| Practicing Puberty | You know its funny, because kids usually get scared when they are going through puberty, why would you want to practice it? | Nich | ||
| Prairie Rehab | Bluegrass band name derived from signs in the median of the interstates around urban midwestern areas. | Mr Spooty | ||
| Pre-empts Regular Programming | What TV Guide listings use to say between brackets (70s and 80s) when a certain show was not to be seen that evening because of specials (the networks also used to announce this). A perfect name for a band that subs at the last minute for an established group. | T.V. | ||
| The Prefects | This name should be used by a band of rebelious types-making a sarcastic statement on the "A-students" & "leaders" of high school. I came up with it when I was having a conversation with my dad about how Prefects at my school are over-rated, and not as 'perfect' as everyone sees them. (Everyone has a history) It occured to me that a band named "The Prefects" would be a perfect & clear message that anyone can be looked up to, in matter of their act. Just because someone has a label meaning something of high status, doesn't mean they totally deserve better standards of quality than you. | Krystelle | ||
| The Pregnant Chads | Remember the Florida voting scandal from the last presidential election? The pregnant chads are the raised areas on ballots that causes the vote count to be inaccurate. | whiteviolet | ||
| Premature Death | I came up with this as I was writing a song, I was writing something about being born premature. Then I thought 'PREMATURE DEATH' and it makes sense. But it doesn't at the same time. Awesome heavy metal name. | MOUSEY MAN | ||
| The Preps | I came up with it as a prospective band name for my band, since we're going to be freshmen. Because at our school, being a freshman is called being a "prep." | sexiibassist | ||
| Prescription Sandwich | One girl I used to work with claimed she had got sandwiches on prescription. She also once claimed she was abducted by aliens and served alien stew for tea. You get the picture. | JimboPagieboy | ||
| The Presence | It is cool coz its kinda spooky | mt2406 | ||
| Pretty Big PLunger | We we're sitting around playing with the trombone players plunger head that he uses as a mute. Then the King of Fear was like "that's a pretty big plunger" then beans was like "you're a pretty big plunger" then i was like "pretty big plunger!" then it was our band name. www.prettybigplunger.com | Matt Robertshaw | ||
| Pretty Icky | when i saw this show this baby was born with two pelvises and 4 legs and i thought too myself "that's pretty icky"then i said that could be an awsome band name. | hamp |
