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

| Whatever | I've heard it said so much, and nobody's come up with a band named THAT??? | Ned Riley | ||
| WhatWouldShatnerDo? | It's a question passed down through time to the kings of the world. | Shaodin Elf | ||
| Wheat Ride | Another one of my "looks like one thing, sounds like another" names. | Tejayes | ||
| Wheeze Huck | The perfect name for a realistic (if untalented) band. | Boy Howdy | ||
| When Confidence Fails | I was in school, and my teacher said in college that sometimes, confidence fails. | j-hole | ||
| When Mr. Rogers Breaks Down | Could have a cool picture of Mr. Rogers with an uzi. | a-conceredcitezen | ||
| When Rendered Unconscious | Makes me think back to when I was rendered unconscious. | DAVID LEWIS | ||
| When Rivers Run Red | It's just awesome to see rivers turn to blood on movies, and it's catchy! | India | ||
| Where's Keon? | I thought of this because one of my friends names is Keon. One day, I didn't know where he was and I said this and I thought it sounded kinda cool. | JB | ||
| Whining Mop Demon | It's cool, because it's cool. I got it from an ex of mine that always complained and had hair with a mop-like texture. | Me | ||
| The Whip Cream Bikinis | From the Movie "Varsity Blues," I thought it would be hilarious for an all-girls group (or guys for that matter! Like the Bare Naked Ladies!) | Lil' One | ||
| Whiplash | I think it's cool because when your in a band, you can rock the people so hard that you'll give them "Whiplash". I was walking outside with my friends and I was writing songs and trying to think of a band name for us to use, and I came up with Whiplash. It just popped into my head. From now on my all girl band is called Whiplash. | Danielle | ||
| Whipped Scream | This band name has sentimental value becase it resembles the term "whipped cream", but give the reason why the screaming is occuring. | Ben (crime-dog) | ||
| The Whipping Wimples | Read a book where it was mentioned (wimple) and looked it up, great female band name - wimple is a nun's hat. | Geek | ||
| Whir | Perfect name for a Brit-pop band. Short, easy to remember, describes a sound, and sounds even cooler when said in a British accent. | Olvan The Terrible | ||
| Whir | Perfect name for a Brit-pop band. Short, easy to remember, describes a sound, and sounds even cooler when said in a British accent. | Olvan The Terrible | ||
| Whirlpool and the Washing Machines | Punk cover band that does songs such as "A Little Bit Of Soap" and "Dirty Laundry. | JBL | ||
| Whiskey 'n' Stir | I was thumbing through a bartender's guide book and there it was...right there in the mixing instructions (just add whiskey and stir)! | Lucinda May Young | ||
| Whiskey MacStagger and the Wandering Vomits | About 7 years back suring a drinking and music session in an old house in Notting Hill London a chef from Donegal came up with this as the proposed name for our musical ensemble. At a time when Irish theme pubs and bands were popping up like mushrooms we felt we had a future. That was as far as it went.... | Fergie MC | ||
| Whispered Confessions | LOLLAPALUZA | |||
| The White Collar Criminals | Just kinda sounds cool. You can just imagine some guy in a suit and tie embezzling millions from some corporation. The band would have to dress in button-down long-sleeve shirts, slacks, and ties for it to have full effect, though. | Brandon | ||
| White Evergreens | Western Washington (the state) hardly get's any snow in winter, but when it does, it's usually pretty deep. Since most trees are evergreen, everything is white, except for the green under the snow on the tree branches. Hence "White Evergreens" | kinia | ||
| White Frost | Drew | |||
| White Horizon | My friend and I were at the train station on the way to London for a school trip. The bridge at the station had white walls. She commented that I was tall, then I said she was looking at a White Horizon (staring at the wall)! The next day we decided it would be a cool band name. | Kathryn | ||
| White Nitrogen | I just came to me in chemistry one day. another good one is black oxygen! | jim jackson | ||
| White noise | It just sounded really cool when I was learning guitar and it also sounds gud when its played in a song, so I thought it'd make a good band name. | Chris Barnes | ||
| White Noise | I read that white noise is like when you tune a radio between 2 stations, and doesn't it just suit a punk rock band?!?!? | Billybob | ||
| White Noise | When my brother was forming an amateur band, he asked me for a name. I suggested White Noise, but he thought that sucked and decided on Fat Kids Chasin' Cars. | DalekTek790 | ||
| White Rose | Sounds like a sweet punk band! | Ian | ||
| White Trash | I got the name from a line from "Joe Dirt". I think it'd be the perfect name for a rock band. | Stockton | ||
| White Whine | An accidental pun on "white wine" I made when writing "white wine". Could be a band whose music is made of whining and white noise. | lexie | ||
| White-Out | My 10-year-old sister always includes me in her pretend-band games. When she taped a supposedly empty white-out bottle to a stick for her microphone, it opened and white-out ran down her arm... | Howdy | ||
| WhiteFoot | A friend was telling me how white my feet were compared to my legs. And since my band was being talked about at the current moment, he decided on the name whiteFoot. | Skadogg33 | ||
| Whitelie | Um, pretty self explanatory. White lie, which means a lie to make someone feel better, so it isn't really bad. so: Whitelie | Stephen | ||
| Who Be This Band? | WBTB for short. Got it from a song by Relient K...line was, "Who be this band Relient K?" I just thought 'Who be this band' sounds cool. | therealdeepblue | ||
| Who Dropped the Mayonaise Spoon? | It would really be a better CD title, but its all the same. This came from Gus Carlson whilst at Camp Calumet in New Hampshire. We where having the boys senior end BBQ, and Gus noted, to some dismay, that the mayo spoon laid in a pile of leaves. "Who dropped the mayonaise spoon!?" he exclaimed. Soon after, he said "whoa, that would make a great band name, or even a CD title. It would have that spoon in a big pile of leaves and shit and it will be called 'Who Dropped the Mayonaise Spoon!'" Now i, being easily amused, thought this was hilarious and filed it away in my mind for later refrence aka here. | Eric Thomas | ||
| Who Moved the Ground? | If you have ever found yourself floating, you will know what it's like to suddenly realise where you are. | Simon Fathers | ||
| Who Needs Shoes | Name of my old band then we switched. I thought it was a excellent name myself, too bad I was the only one who seemed to think that. | JeNNiE | ||
| The Whole Posse | This is something my p.e. teacher screamed out one day when a group of boys were to be punished: "All of you! To the office! THE WHOLE POSSE!" Whenever somebody says it, the boys start laughing, as my p.e. teacher is old and says "UH" alot. he sounded dorky, | Emfan | ||
| Wholesale Price | As a kid I always hated going to those types of warehouse type stores that sold stuff at wholesale prices. This is my tribute to them. | Deathawk | ||
| Whoops! There Goes Mr. Jelly | It's a phrase commonly used by the (Insane) Bursar in Terry Pratchett's Discworld series. I just think it sounds good for a kind of insane 'alternative' band | Random | ||
| The Whore Of Babylon | It's in the Bible. Translated into modern English, it means the city of Babylon. Plus, it's just one of those cases of "means one thing, sounds like something else". Christian punk band indefinite. | phamilto | ||
| Whorible | I overheard someone saying something about looking 'horrible'. The way it sounded, I heard "whore-ible", so I put it together and got this! | yenyo | ||
| Whose Norm(!) | I was working for a guy named Norm. But the name implies that we weren't "the norm", since whose norm are we talking about? No idea about the exclamation point in parentheses. | Rico | ||
| Why Bother? | I think that's a perfect name for a EMO band. I came up with it while trying to figure out a display name for a website. | v.i.c.t.o.r | ||
| Wicked Dreams | Taken from a song I wrote about the wierd dreams/nightmares I am always having. The name sounds alot like my bands music...mysterious, sexy, and forbidden. | Phil Escobedo | ||
| The Wicked Liars | I just thought up stuff that my mom calls me and I thought of an adjective. | Girrafe Punk | ||
| Wicked Lizard | You know the serpent from the Garden of Eden? Well, it says that after it did its evil deed, God took away its legs (making him forever a shamefull creature to slither on his belly), implying that beforehand he was, in fact, a wicked lizard. | Nardicus | ||
| Wicked Rev | My mother made it up because "wicked" means "really" and the Doozers from Fraggle Rock said "rev" to mean cool. So "wicked rev" is way cool or really cool. | pack | ||
| Wicked Sick | Well if your not from Ma, and you visit there, you'll notice we all say "thats wicked cool" or "thats wicked nice" its kind of like another term for really for us. So mass people would know that. and others would just think wicked sick....like evily sick or something | N I X | ||

| wickedbad | That's one word. Couldn't you just see some punk band comin outta Boston with this name? | Lev007 | ||
| Wide Open Doors | It's a good name for a Christian band; it just has that welcome feeling about it. | TenBruggencate | ||
| Widget | It sounds cool. In my computer class, it was a made up word in our textbook. | BW | ||
| A Will To Kill | Seriously...how is this not a cool band name? After watching the movie "Kill Bill" I ending up saying, "She has a will to kill" I was just like YES!! That'd be the ultimate band name. One day I'll be the lead singer of A Will To Kill (AWTK) You'll see! YOU'LL ALL SEE!!! | Kelsoo | ||
| Willard P. Feat the Gus The Bus Crew | there was a guy named Willard P.(real name unknown) and he got hit by a school bus we affectionately named gus. Years later we made a fairly successful rap song out of the whole ordeal | ashton wingate | ||
| William Walker and the Fillibusters | These guys were outlaws at the end of the 19th century who tried to invade Latin American countries to expand the US. But it also works as a rock band name if you can find someone named William Walker. | JR | ||
| Willow Bee Rose | Named after "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" witch and all around good girl Willow Rosenberg. From that episode where her magic goes wrong, and points of light are swarming on her like bees. | buffy | ||
| Wimps Anonymous | What Derrick (Jason Bateman) suggested to Ricky (Rick Schroeder) where to go to on a "Silver Spoons" episode. It's a group of girly men. | t.v. | ||
| Windex Cocktail | Okay, this is really nerdy. You know the first scene in Star Wars where you see Luke's aunt and uncle? Well, his aunt is pouring this bright blue liquid out of some sort of mixer. I remember saying "Looks kinda like a Windex Cocktail'. (I was later informed by my even geekier friend that its supposed to be 'blue milk'.) I figure its a good way to kill off, say, Keith Richards. Was considered by a friend of mine's band before they decided not to be a band anymore. | Gizmo | ||
| Windex Shampoo | It is a really cool name. It can't possibly happen, because Ammonia D in hair isn't a good idea. | Mr. Dirty | ||

| Wings of a Duck | It's just funny. Me and my bandmates were trying to come up with a name and one shouted Wings of a Demon! I said bit too heavy what about wings of a duck. | Ethan O'Brien | ||
| Winona's Alibi | I came up with it from listening to her everchanging excuses for shoplifting. It's cool for obvious reasons. + She IS very good looking. this is my band's name by the way... so go make up your own. | Fredie Vinson | ||
| Winston Churchill's Chamber Pot | I found the picture of it on toilets of the world (on a web site.) LMAO. | i anit telll u | ||
| Winter Of A Broken Heart | I think this sounds cool, because I just lost my daughter and the baby I was pregnant with in a car accident the day after Christmas. So now all I can think about is how much this hurts, since it's winter, I think it just kinda goes together. [Ed.'s note: I am sorry to here about your tragedy. Our prayers are with you.] | Jadey poo | ||
| The Winter Warlocks | Named after the bad wizard-turned-good Winter Warlock (voiced by Keenan Wynn) from "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town". It's cool because it teaches a novice band to "put one foot in front of the other". ;) | cartoon cartoon | ||

| With Bloodshot Eyes | It is from a song by (the band) Bullet For my Valentine. One of my favorite bands, it could be a metal band. | Eric S | ||

| Wives with Knives Club | It's from an episode of "Home Improvement" in which Jill wants Tim to get a vasectomy. She says it's much safer than a woman having her tubes tied, and he says, "Says who? The Wives with Knives Club?" | Da Phoenix | ||
| WiZDOM | Uhhh, well, I recently found a game entitled "NiGHTS into Dreams" and the main boss of the game is named Wizeman. I screwed it up a bit and out pops WiZDOM. I think it would be suited to either a darker band or something absolutely insane. *wink* | LordBlumiere | ||
| WKSTLNK | "Weakest Link" with no vowels. | Junior | ||
| Wolcott Mill Metropark | When I was living in the States, one day I was in RE class with some friends and we found these stickers that had this name on it and we thought it was really cool. | Aussie Chick | ||

| Wong Abdoujaparov & Zhang Oruminsky | I like Chinese names like Wong and Zhang. I like Russian last names like Abdoujaparov and Oruminsky. | phamilto | ||
| Woodchuck Chuck | This one can be either a band name or a pseudonym for a TMBG or Ween type band. It's based on the old riddle "How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck would chuck wood?" | news 8 | ||
| Wooden Bowtie | Our amazing history teacher always wore bowties that were made from wood...so...there you go. | VooDooXII | ||
