Names -> Cool Band Names -> W, Page 3

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.

Name		Origin		Submitted by:
Wicked Wipeout		It's cool because it sounds like a top coolness rock band. I got the idea from a shirt that said, 'Wicked Wipeout From Outer Space'.		timmy golgry
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
Wig Grinders		A wordplay on the sub franchise W.G. Grinders, which looked like "wig grinders" when I first saw the sign over the restaurant.		Opie M.
The Wigeons		Since there are numerous bird names for bands, including The Larks, The Sandpipers, The Flamingos, and The Eagles, here's another bird name I thought I'd suggest!		D. Melody Dole, MD
Wiggle Wampum		Perhaps a remnant of an otherwise long-faded memory floats around in the depths of my mind and occasionally surfaces. The memory might be of a real song that I can't remember enough of to possibly identify it. All that I can remember was that a line of the song sort of struck me as "The wiggle wampum goes where the wiggle wampum goes."		Regina Haniger
Wild Energy		awesome name, also a blacked eyed peas album, which is where i got the idea.		ll cool j
Wild Onion Meadow		I have one in my backyard every year.		Ted Stone
The Wild Onions		Another version of Wild Onion Meadow.		Ted Stone
Wilder Depp		The surnames of two people who have played Willie Wonka, Gene Wilder is the better one		Cliff Knee
Wile's Taco Sauce		I dunno how I actually came up with this one		Ott
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
Willful Brimley		Wilford Brimley always looks kind of dour and willful anytime you see a picture of him.		RevengeFromMars YouTube
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.
Win For Losers		You may have won the school chess competition but you may still be a loser.		RevengeFromMars YouTube
The Wind Wanderers		It's a good name for an Alternative band....		E-r Martin
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
Windle Poons		An ancient wizard of Terry Pratchett's Discworld books who dies then becomes undead. I just think it'll be cool for a band/singer with funny and bizarre songs.		Litestar
Window Side Affair		I have a relationship with this guy and he comes to my window sometimes at night so I can let him in and we hang out while my moms asleep =] I think its kinda catchy, plus it has a special meaning to us.		Ris

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
Wings Of Black Flame		A random line from an X-Men comic that my brother thought would make a good metal band name.		IHaveNoBrain

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.

The Winter Peppers		It's the opposite of a summersalt		Winter Pepper
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

The Wizards Of Whoopee		It's alliteral, which is always cool. And it has the term whoopee, which is slang for sex. Wizards are cool in general.		Richard Head
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

Wren Bait		Imagine some fat dude setting a trap for songbirds in the park--like a box with a stick propping it up, that you pull a string to take out the stick and under the box there is some birdseed--hiding in a bush waiting for some birdies.
