Names -> Cool Band Names -> R, 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 R are split into multiple pages: 1 2 3 4

| Red Blood Static (RBS) | I used it as a screen name once, and I thought in my head of what the band would like like. Maybe an emo or hardcore metal band could use it. | Connor | ||

| Red Scare | Cold War reference. | Tigger | ||
| Red Tetsusaiga | In the anime/manga series "Inuyasha," the title character can use his sword, Tetsusaiga (tet-SYE-gah), to penetrate magical barriers.

| Reddiwhip | Lifted this from a Spider Robinson novel. Reddiwhip is a garage band that only plays Cream covers. | Bucky Goldstein | ||
| The Redemption | It is like paying for what you have done. It is a really cool name for an emo/metal band. | Tyler | ||
| RedFare | This is cool, because the band i'm in, took two of our most influential influences from the past two years, and put them together. The influences are RED wine, because it's cheap, and bus FARE, because we never have enough money for the bus! | Jon | ||
| RedKaps | Evil fareis in scottish folk legend. lame or what? | john | ||
| Redmund Blanks | I'm supposedly a very good story writer (though I hate writing). I was thinking of a character and came up with Redmund Blanks. I thought it would make a cool band name. | Col#35 | ||
| Redneck Jedi | Probably for a band that has the strange combination of bad southern accents and an undying love of the Star Wars films. | james worth | ||
| RedRum | From the movie 'The Shining'. It was in the film because REDRUM is 'MURDER' spelled backwards. Hmm...then the name would have by either a thrash band or a rapper... | Alia | ||
| redruM | It`s murder backwards, and it would be awesome for a metal band. Only with the last letter capitalized. | Willdood | ||
| Redshift | I was in an astronomy class. We discussing the movement of stars. Redshift is the term used when a star is moving away from Earth. | Mustang Dave | ||
| Reduce Speed Now | It's cool because it is the name of my band! And because anything written on a sign has to be cool right? | Pollypocket56 | ||
| The Reed of Walter | My boyfriend is in the army, And he was at Walter Reed in Washington, DC, and I used to visit him there. One day. my supervisor asked me if I was going to "The Reed of Walter", and I just thought it sounded cool. Maybe this band could consist of former war veterans! | Carla Bisagni | ||
| Rees Smells | Play on "Peace Sells...But Who's Buying?" by Megadeth. My boyfriend's name is Rees, and he is a massive Megadeth fan. So I wrote "Rees smells... but I'm lying" on the diary he takes to work with him for everyone to see. | Alice | ||
| Reficul Natas | I came up with this band name because Reficul is Lucifer backwards, and Natas is Satan backwards. | Shredder | ||
| The Refiner's Fire | This band name in particular is what I found in the Bible. It flows and the meaning is cool. | MJK | ||
| Reflectus Juice | That's what I misheard when The Godfathers were singing "I kissed Margaret Thatcher's shoes." A great name for hip-hop or nu-metal band. | britrock | ||
| The Reformed Storm Troopers | After the collapse of Empire, the four suviving storm troopers had no option but to form a band relating to the struggles and insanity of war. | Adam James | ||
| The Refuse Nephews | It's interesting because it rhymes, and it's a downbeat name; see, pronounced "REF-yooz", the middle word means "trash", so basically you're saying you're a bunch of young men who don't think very highly of themselves--so, it might be particularly good for an emo/punk or metal band. (Note: also, I considered at on point slightly changing the name to "Nephews OF Refuse", which would suggest that your relatives are not nice people, heh heh.) | Jonathan S. | ||
| The Regal Beagles | Three's Company can be mined for much coolness... | Sparky | ||
| Regardless | It would be a cool name for a rock band who simply don't give a damn about anything. | Tareena | ||
| Regicide Peace | It comes from an essay by Edmund Burke--so you have the intellectual snob factor. I think it flows very well. | Aaron | ||
| Registered Members | I saw it at the top of the this page. It sounds like you were all accepted into the band because you were really good. | French toast | ||
| Regurgiburp | It's cool cause everyone has done it at least once in their lives. REGURGIBURP is what happens when you burp and get a little acid reflux action as a bonus. I dubbed it while explaining to others what just happened to me. | RobXob | ||
| Reigel 7 | Based on the Dairy Queen commercial, where the announcer explains what would happen if their milkshakes were called "The Galaxy's Best". 'Reigel 7' was the planet that would wipe out Dairy Queens if their restaurant employees found out about it. IMHO, Steak 'n' Shake has "The Galaxy's Best" milkshakes.:D | Commercial | ||
| The Reigning Riddle | The question of our day from the wiseman who can answer the age old question, "Why are we here?" This has become the grail or the mother of all questions. Thus, it is what I called the Alpha & Omega of riddles. Does anyone have a true answer? Well, I do. We are here, "For His pleasure". | Gary Gray | ||
| Reissdorf | Reissdorf is a beer here from Germany. It's so tasty; If want to spell it, joo should spell it like: "Rise, Dwarf!" without the letter "w" --->Darf try it.........sry my english isn't so well........ stay cool ghoul | Niklas | ||

| Reluctant Gargoyles | Title of an old episode of "Gumby" which was extremely cool for pinheads and whatnot back when Devo and the Ramones were in diapers. Good name for an obnoxious college town synthesizer band I think. | Ray Kiraruta | ||
| Remains of Jade | I was squished in an AIM conversation once and became the remains of Jade. I said, "Oh my god! Remains of Jade! That could be...a Dir en grey song!" But eventually, I decided that a better tribute would be an actual BAND name! Hahaha... | Jade Eyes | ||
| Remedy For Lies | Well, I thought of it just listening to my music when I heard a lie in it. So I thought of Remedy For Lies. | jonathan richards | ||
| Remember That One Time? | Sometimes me and my friend Rey will be in a conversation with a bunch of people, and all of a sudden we start a dialogue that completely confuses people. It goes like this: Josh: Hey Rey, you remember that one time? Rey : Yeah that was awesome. Josh : Yep, sure was. The other people have no idea what we're talking about (of course neither do we) | Josh:Valos | ||
| Remember To Forget | just in case u remember it....... | crazyteen | ||
| Remmington | I don't know, its just really cool. It could be Remington with one m too. I saw it on the box for my friend's chainsaw. :D | Joe Schmo | ||
| Remnants Of Allison | Based on current events. When Hurricane Allison hit Texas a month ago, the news stations talked about the remnants, which brought on even more devastation. A definite heavy metal thrash band. | oppenheim | ||
| Remote Kings | I came up with it when I saw my friend sign in on MSN and his name was "King". I looked to my right and there I see my remote control. | groupie101 | ||
| remotely queued | just got told my song waiting to download was being 'remotely queued' whatever that means and i instantly thought it was a great name for a trip hop folk act or something electric, | Peterpan | ||

| REO Speedealer | I mean, how cool can you possibly be? | fred | ||
| Report On The Exploration | I was reading the Bible one day, and it was a story headline! I just thought it was kinda cool. | Brandon | ||

| The Republic of Cardboard Balloons | During my freshman ELP class, we had to come up with the name for a fictional "country" to govern. My friend Shannon was my partner and requested that I create a name . . . well, my habit of creating random phrases took over and we decided on (out of several choices) "The Republic of Cardboard Balloons". | Elfie | ||
| the republic of cardboard baloons | i fink dis is a cool name cox it gefies da laws of phisics and the fun fing is is sounds awsome !!! lol :D | alison johnson | ||
| Republican Gators | My friend Maryann loves alligators and her not-exactly friend is VERY Republican. So I guess it kind of works out for both of them. | micah_punkergirl | ||
| Repulsive Magnetism | Kind of like a magnet that repels, and as repulsive you like go away from it. U know what i mean... | john | ||
| Requiem | I originally got the idea from the title of the movie "Requiem for a Dream". Requiem has a nice dark, depressing sound for the perfect emo band. Not to mention it's actual meaning (A song for the dead) relates to the lyrics of the best emo bands out there. | Cornelius | ||
| The Required | People will actually think the band you hear is required. | Corey-O | ||
| Reset | It's what Simple Plan used to be called. They have two albums, no worries and no regrets or something. | Matty | ||

| Resistance Force | This came to me after playing Medal of Honor Allied Assault. This could be a cool Punk/Grunge/Slipnkot style Metal band. A cool name for one of thier singles could be, "Fall Back to the Frontline". | Guitarpunk989 | ||
| Resisting Forward | I think this is a cool band name, because it sounds like resisting change and not trying to conform to what other people want you to be. | TarrynMckalle | ||
| Respecto Asi Para Usted | Respecto Asi Para Usted...RAPU for short...you know like an abbreviation (don't forget to roll your r's!)...it's actually stupid, but hey it sounds cool. I got it from the moral code of conducts schools use. | persona | ||
| Restricted | This is why i love the name. Now, when you see signs on important places, it has RESTRICTED printed on a sign, which means NO ONE can come in unless they are an important person for that buisness. Well, a rock band, Restricted means only the best people can be in, and obviously means were not losers. | Matt (Mattis Kool) | ||

Although I never had any idea what a "reticane" might be, it always seemed a cool, intriguing, and mystic word to me! | Lucille Ball sized hail |
