Names -> Cool Band Names -> P, Page 6

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.

Submitted by:
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
Pray The Pros The local paper had a contest called "Play The Pros", where you could pick the winners of NFL games, then send the form to the paper's address to win money. One time, I had a Freudian slip and said "Pray The Pros". , ironic since one had to pray to get all of the games right.. :) Hollywood Outsider
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 Pre-Owned Instead of The Used, since "pre-owned" is a term occasionally used to describe stuff that is purchased used. JeReMy
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
Press Play I came up with this a few years ago in 4th or 5th grade:2004 and 2006. When some one asked who it was, you'd answer, "Just Press Play." Since then I made a logo and came up with CD names/covers... but alas, I have no band... or musically inclined friends K@ Raisor
Pretend It's The End Me and my friend made up like a billion band names, some good and some crazy, and then i just thought of this one, which i liked very much ;p Lakkaball
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 Good, I Guess Well, my unnamed band has had only 3 practices (in half a year) I think we sound PRETTY GOOD, I GUESS. SamVK

Pretzels Ink I was at my friends house and I was eating pretzels out of this tube thing like the thing for mini doritos. I started to shake it and my friend was clicking here pen. We thought that it sounded cool so we decided to start a band with be playing the pretzels and her playing a pen. We decided on the name Pretzels Ink bacause I play the pretzels and there's ink in pen so Pretzels Ink. agnes
Prey For Whirled Peas *Credit to my math teacher. Jay Lingo

Priest On Fire Hell Yeahhh!!!!! Malus
PriestStalker Here in BC there is a punk Band called Nunstalker that broke up. I just thought if nuns can get stalked why can't priests?  Dimitri
Primal Ground Sounds important and tough. I've seen a sign saying "Primitive Camping Ground" and thought of Primitive Ground first. But I prefer Primal. josh slone
Primarily Negative Found it in a parent training book as a heading describing teenage behavior hippichic
Prime Sinister I changed the M to an S. Smashing! Rick
Primordial Lumpiness I found it while i was reading a boring thing for chemistry. it said something about the elements being formed from "a primordial lumpiness", and there it is!  Manwitdaplan
Primordial Semantics i was playing this game where you try to only get one google result for a search (i work in a boring place okay)...anyways, this popped in my head and i wish i was in a band to name it this shabba

The Principals Of Lust You mean there's actually a school of lust?! Open Mike Knight
Prison of Rhythm Has a bit of a "dark" feel to it. The name also implies being held captive by the rhythm of this band. Shawn McGiveney
Prisoners of the Wardrobe A name for anyone who's ever accidentally locked themselves in their wardrobe room. MalcolmXInTheMiddle
Private Ice Sounds really cool. (get it?) Mark
prizedoor103 Prizedoor103 -- what more can you say about it? Elie
PRNDL It's on everyone's steering column. Katz
Pro Nuclear Whale Killers Wearing Mink I wanted a name that would piss off every special interest group in the country, subsequently achieving mass publicity. And as we all know, ANY publicity, good or bad, is priceless. This name will offend the Greenpeace people, the No-Nukes crowd, and the animal rights wackos. I guess the only people I left out were the gays & lesbians. Feel free to inflict your own variations on the name to include them, too. Scott
Pro@tion We made it up doing school. we looked on a video player and it it said provision........... we diidn't like it so we cahnged it to pro@tion. since it sounds like creation, we made the meaning opposite of creation,which is nontheless whatever you want to think.............. A.J.
Probed we think it's cool cos this word is asscociated with aliens and aliens are cool  rik
The Problem Children AC/DC's "Problem Child", good AC/DC tribute band name! saverock'n'roll@saverock'n'roll.org

Products of Immortality I thought it would be cool if 2 immortales ermmm . . . "made" a child, because the kid would be a product of immortality :)  Janice

Project Deadbolt saw it on a plate on the door of my hotel room. it was in a sentence describing how to work the locks on the door. "project" was a verb, but use it as a noun here and it sounds like an awesome prog rock band or something kdogg^3
Project EVE My guy bestfriend's band name is Adam's Blasphemy and he is looking for a girl band counterpart. He ask me, if I could come up for a perfect all girls' band name. Since they're named Adam's Blasphemy, I thought of the name Project EVE. Cool right? Brutal Angel
Project Mayhem It comes from the movie "FIGHT CLUB". In the movie, members of the fight club form into Project Mayhem, a cult that trains itself as an army to bring down modern civilization. Basically, I like that it is anti-establishment sounding. It could be the name of a hardcore punk band or something. ( There is already a band called Mayhem that plays Death Metal) johnny
Project Sephiroth I tried thinking up of cool names, and I stumbled to this one, since it references the well known FFVII character known as Sephiroth. DJ Kaito
Projectile Vomiting That's my best friends favourite phrase. She says it all the time. I think its a cool phrase....just as long as she doesnt say it while im trying to eat lunch. Sweet Cheese
Projekt Carnage The drummer (I) wanted to name the band with Projekt something? I couldnt think of a good project though. But then I was told my friend the lead singer wanted to name it Carnage, after his favorite "Spiderman" villain. So therefore, we came up with Projekt Carnage. (Don't take it, it's mine.) Keller
Prokaska My teacher changed her name to Prokaska...and I told her it sounded like a rock band name! So now it's stuck and if I ever have a band, I'm calling it Prokaska. Ari
Prom Afterparty! I just like it. =D It sounds happy. MC Hammer
Prom For Sharks One night while I was drawing, I drew a shark in a dress. Don't ask why.  Lewis Jacques
Prom Villain Well I thought about, what if there were people at a prom that wanted to ruin the night because not everyone likes the prom, they would be the villains of the story. Hense the name. It's sweet. Shadow
Prometheus Bound This is a Greek tragedy about a dude who tried to do the right thing for his common man. But the gods didn't quite see it that way so they chained him to a rock while an eagle ate his liver. MSRhodes
Proof Of Purchase My brother and I were thinking of band names. I thought about things that you would see at a store. "Barcodes" I said, but that just wasn't good enough, it didn't sound right. Then I said "proof of purchase", and it was perfect! Beeran & Deevid

Prosthetic Foreheads Kinda a tribute to that old "They might be Giants" song. Something to wear over your're real head. The Roach
Prosthetic Limb This name is cool for a band Rumel

Protostar idk it just came to mind. marcy (screen name)
Prototype Bob My school band was trying to come up with a name for a tongueing excercise. Someone came up with the idea "Bob", and I suggested "Prototype Bob". Then I realized it was awesome for a metal band. MarKotsay7

Prozac and the Happy People This is my band's old name... I was Prozac, and my bassist, guitarist, keyboardist, and drummer were the Happy People.

Ps Like Korn only a different veggie! Pigertaws
The Pseudo-Penises I dunno, this sort of makes a good rock band name. Danny
The Pseudomorphs Sometimes a mineral within a confined space in a rock is altered over time into a different mineral. Sometimes the confined space forces the new mineral to take on a geometrical shape reflecting the old mineral's crystal structure rather then the new mineral's own crystal structure. Such a mineral specimen so shaped for a previous mineral's structure is called a pseudomorph. Yesterday I was thinking how The Pseudomorphs might make a good band name, mainly because it just sounds neat. But it could also metaphorically say something about the band's history. Toni Minot
Pseudonic Absolution Pseudo means "false" and Absolution means "forgiveness" like when your friend told you that they forgive you. Or that what you said didn't hurt them, and they put on a fake smile.  B-Fresh McGee

The Psycho Circle A slight change of a KISS album title. GlamRockNinjaLord
Psycho Clown My friend and I were riding in her car. I started dancing in my seat to the music on the radio. I had this weird expression on my face and my friend said "You look like a psycho clown." Erin
Psycho DeBergerac For a long time I thought it'd be a great name for a late 1980's Alternative band. One time I even did an album cover for Psycho DeBergerac as an art project. The album was called 'Dressing In Tongues' and featured wire frame drawings of the mythical band members (three of them) dressed in clothing which I cut from foreign language dictionaries. drlondon
Psycho Drive This is M. Bison's Superpower in "Super Street Fighter". TTwoo
