Names -> Cool Band Names -> V, Page 1
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 V are split into multiple pages: 1 2
Name | Origin | Submitted by: | ||
| V.P.L. | It stands for Visible Panty Line. Either it's really cool to see...or it's an awful thing to see. | c-dub | ||
| Vacant Cross | Jesus ain't there no more. He's gone up to Heaven. The same as Barren Cross, a Chistian band. | TeePee | ||
| Vacuity Venue | It means and empty place full of something. | Bridget | ||
| Vagrant Souls | Vagrant means wandering, and I just thought wandering souls is kind of truthful and sounds cool. | Lizzzz | ||
| Valhalla By Night | Norwegien Industrial Band/Punk-4 big Sweds and a bucksom blond. Just thought it would be fun. Valhalla(Norse Heaven) by night in other words dead by night's end. Gothy yet cool. | Asgeirsson | ||
| Valkyr | I got this off Max Payne and it's been my pseudonym ever since. It's good for a gothic band, I guess. The only problem is that it kinda underlines one person and not a band. If anyone can sort this problem out, then this should be a brilliant name | sam | ||
| Valkyrie Project | I have played this game since I was 10. This game rules So does the name! | Naxeem | ||
| The Valvetronix | It's the name of an amplifier that I just bought. And it just sounds cool. | danny | ||
| Vampire Hillbillys | A name I've seriously considered for a goth/rockabilly crossover a la the Cramps. | Chuck Fensch | ||
| Vampires With Mullets | Inspired by the film "The Lost Boys". One of my favorite movies. "Lost Boys" is too obvious a name, and I just like the sound of "VwM". Punkish, sorta | Wolfie | ||
| The Vampirism Vendetta | No idea how I came up with it. I like vampires an such... and interesting that a synonym for vendetta is "blood feud"... no? Pretty cool for punk rock/screamo, Atreyu-style. If not band name, could be a cool song name. | Luke | ||
| Van Down By The River | Taken from the near-classic SNL skits featuring Chris Farley's character, Matt Foley. I think it would make a cool name for a jazz combo. | Kristina | ||
| The Van Houtens | Named after Milhouse from The Simpsons. Also kind of like Van Halen. And everyone knows Van Halen rocks. Woo Hoo! | Jon | ||
| VAN1T PL8 | Luigi | |||
| Vanilla Abstract | like for maybe an all-white funk band. Dishwasher in a restaurant I used to work in complained one day that he couldn't find the "vanilla abstract". (he also once nearly died of "smoke insulation") | wsn | ||
| Vanna Pulla | We got the name from our secretary at work who used to dance on tables, wearing only a pink tanga after working hours. | Kevin | ||
| Vapor Flood | I thought of it while I was reading a story about the Mad Gasser of Montoon, a person who went around in the '40 murdering people by slipping a tube in their windows and flooding the room with gas. | freakflag. | ||
| Variable Resistor | I reckon this is a cool name. One day me and my friend were trying to come up with cool band names and we were being stupid and saying all the stuff in our science class, Tripod, Retort Stand and then i said 'Variable Resistor' and then i said "Hey Variable Resistor...thats quite cool..." | Hayley | ||
| A Variable Soul | I was trying to think of the stupidest death metal sounding name (but Crooked X was already taken) and came up with it. | The Alex Basso | ||
| Various Artists | It would certainly confuse retailers of recordings wouldn't it? A name for my imaginary performance art/avant garde/electronica collective. | Ray Kiraruta | ||
| Various Factors | High School Biology teacher used to refer to "various factors" all the time, I figured they must have been a group or something | Bob Gifford | ||
| The Vasilyevichs | It sounds like a tongue twister. But it is Ivan the Terrible's last name. It sounds like a horror punk/goth punk band. I thought of it because of Oprige Nina. So I searched for Ivan the Terrible and then it came. Ivan IV Vasilyevich. I added (s) to make more, "Punk". | stud | ||
| The Vast Majority | For a band who is influenced by all music. | TdubD | ||
| Vauxite | I found this whilst looking through mineral names such as Platinum, etc. It's great! | ~foz~ | ||

| The Veeps | There's Presidents of the United States of America. Why not a band for Vice-Presidents too? Veeps is short for Vice-Presidents, but not short for long. | newrock | ||
| Vegan Slaughter House | Would be a good punk/metal type name. Just came to me one day when i realised that vegetables grow, so therefore they must live, so even a Vegan diet still requires Slaughter Houses ! | Rich | ||
| Vegas Nation | Las Vegas is basicaly its own nation heheh! i dont know how to explain this one guys! | Pigertaws | ||

| Vegetarian Mock Duck | An actual product I saw at a Japanese rocery store. It looked horrendous. | Chuck Fensch | ||
| The Veggieburgers | There's this terrible all-guys band at our school called The Hambergers. They try to play other bands' songs, but it doesn't go well. This is our way of protesting. Great for an all-girl vegetarian band!!. We're not vegetarian though. | Person | ||
| Vehicular Dahlmercide | No current death metal band could match this fictitious Sweden-by-way-of Niles, Ohio band I just made up | Jason Reeher | ||
| Velma Fetish | 'cuz my cousin had a crush on Velma (from Scooby-Doo) when he was 3 and everyone else like Daphne. | just another cutomer | ||

| Velvet Morning Grey | Just the peaceful image. | Princess Ana | ||
| The Velvet Odessas | The Bee Gees released an album circa 1968 titled "Odessa," a 2-LP concept album. As originally released, the album cover had a beautiful red velveteen surface. If one can be found in good condition, it commands a princely sum in used record shops. So, finding a pristine "velvet Odessa" is a great thing for a record collector or Bee Gees fan. | Martha Hankins | ||
| The Velvet Underpants | Firstly, because The Velvet Underground is a pretty cool band name, and secondly, because it sounds both comfortable and uncomfortable simultaneously | Ezio | ||
| vending machine dependency | it just sounds cool. especially if you live in a small village in japan. | daisy burton | ||

| Verbatim | Well we looked at CD's with the name Verbatim on it. We looked up verbatim, it means "word for word." There was our band name! | Ally & Paul & Sheldon & Dylan & Martha & Josh | ||
| Verdant | Means covered with green growth. Sounds cool. | []D[][V][]D | ||
| Verdi Wept | Came to me in a dream. No, really! I like it because it's romantic and suggests the sacrilegious without BEING sacrilegious (shortest verse in the Bible is "Jesus wept"). Also, depending on the music, it could be the actual response Verdi would have. | Ringo Zeitgeist | ||
| Verge | It's pretty catchy. On the verge. | hekifier | ||
| Verse's Vices | It is like "Vice Versa" but switched around. If your verses have vices it is a good name. (Also if you have a band member named "Verse".) | Stickman | ||
| Vertical Minds | I just thought is was a neat play on words...eg: Vertical Blinds | Fezzlekway | ||
| Vertical Sunrise | I dont know my friends and I just came up with this..We're startin a band | impossibly stopable | ||
| Verticly Plad | this isnt actually my band its my friends and she came up with because her life just kept getting weird and mixed up.

| Vertigo | it's cool 'cause it means ,"to purposefully make ones self dizzy | scrooge mCduck | ||
| Vertigo | It just sounds cool, I thought of it when just thinking of band names. If you ever bring out a greatest hits album you could call the LP Colours, Vertigo's Greatest Hits. | Joe | ||
| Vertigo Swirl | its cool...in a way that it portrays this really lost teenager who's in a total confusion on where to go after a broken relationship.. she forces herself to spin round and round..after which,she has this pulse beating in her brain telling her to stop,but she won't listen to her mind. | valerie | ||
| Very Old Men In Tights | What do the first letters in each word spell...? Sounds kinda sick too. | dodge | ||
| Very Untalented Beatles Tribute Band | They could play all original songs, and the ticketbuyers would think they are attempting to play The Beatles' hits. Songs include: "Let Me Be", "Ticket To Telluride", "She Loves Soup", and the soon to be famous "Yeasterday". | britrock | ||
| Vewy Goo! | I was chatting with friends online, and i mispelled "good" and well, they made fun of me. So, my friends joke about it once in a while and start talking to me baby talk. :D | Just Me | ||

| Victorious Secret | I figure that it will attract teenage guys, i mean, what does it sound like? (victoria's secret) | tigersblood | ||
| Viking Wizard Eyes | On the inside of a Blink-182 album, it says "Viking Wizard Eyes, Wizard Full of Lies". I thought it would make an awesome band name. | Dino | ||
| Vile Evil, Live | Just cool to base a band's name entirely on anagrams. | Frank Merrill | ||

| Vinegar Eruption Perverts | Remember at every lame elementary or mid-school science science fair somebody made a garish neon green paper mache' vocano with baking soda in the "crater", then added vinegar and it spewed all over the place. Then ten years later you read in the newspaper that the "volcano geek" was arrested for some kind of perversion.
