Names -> Stupid Band Names -> H
These are the band names that we feel are just plain stupid. Bands pick the most absurd names, who wants to be known as a member of the "Butthole Surfers"? We only accept entries for this page that make fun of a band name. Just saying a band is lame (no matter how lame they might be) isn't a good reason for entry.
Name | Description | Submitted by: | ||
| Haddaway | I read in a dictionary that a British term for intercourse is "have your end away." Alternatively, it could simply be like "We just HAD AWAY at that lady." Makes me afraid to ask where they got the name from. | Jonathan S. | ||
| Haircut One Hundred | Um, so you're counting? | pauhead | ||
| Hammerfall | Reminds me of one of those cartoons where they drop the sledgehammers on people | Mac | ||
| Harvey Danger | What the hell is it supposed to mean? It's like the name you would give a second rate stunt man. | ChuckyG | ||
| Haunted By Angels | How can someone be haunted by angels? Angels are supposed to be nice and pure, healing wounds, all that. They must be really messed up god-fearing freaks! | hekifier | ||
| Have Fun Dying | Thank you for that. You too. What the heck!? Who would say that!? And these freaks use it for their band name. | hekifier | ||
| Hear'Say | What sort of name is that and just why is there an apostrophe. | YASMR | ||
| Heartbreakers With Broken Hearts | hmm.. actually it's original. | precious | ||
| Hellogoodbye | is that what the band mebers always say "Hello, goodbye.. *pause* that name sounds cool" | Mark | ||
| Helloween | The name says it all if you can remember this bands one hit wonder it jammed back in the 80's. | roland ehrlinger | ||
| Here Come The Mummies | Just because they wrap themselves in dressing, it doesn't make them mummies. Brendan Fraser would be royally pissed. | Indy Gent | ||
| The Hipperoos | As far as I know a currently defunct Dayton, Ohio band. Their music consisted of badly-written Christian songs and TV theme songs. But honestly, hipperoos? Does anybody else not remember Underoos from the '80s? And are hippos or hippies supposed to wear them? Either way I'm kinda scared. And any mention of the word 'hip' in the title automatically makes it not hip. They did a live CD called "The Extemporaneous Hipperoos." That is just way overblown. | Libertarian | ||
| Hitler Stole My Potato | This name really makes me wonder who came up with this, and what kind of drugs this person was on. | Alexa | ||
| The Hold Steady | Another lame attempt at turning a phrase into a noun. ("Hold steady" can't be a THING.) [See also: Shout Out Louds] | Jonathan S. | ||
| Hole | What kind of hole? I'm...not sure I want to know. | Jonathan S. | ||
| Holy F*** | Any band that uses the F word (or any obscenity) in their name is totally stupid. | JD | ||
| Honest Bob And The Factory-To-Dealer Incentives | A band name should be short and catchy, not so ridiculously long, that (depending on where it's printed), it would take up more than one row of text! (The name almost didn't even fit in the submission box.) | Jonathan S. | ||
| Hoobastank | I think that they wanted a name based on a word they invented in high school. Of course this is just jibberish that means nothing. | Travis | ||
| Hoobastank | Sounds like a made-up "redneck" word. (like the kind Jeff Foxworthy mentioned) | Jonathan S. | ||
| Hoobastank | It's just plain stupid. Doesn't seem to mean anything, and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. | A. Person | ||
| The Hooters | The band claimed they named themselves after a musical instrument. Yeah, sure! (Wouldn't they make a great double bill with The Barenaked Ladies, though?) | Greg G. | ||
| Hootie & the Blowfish | Well, it's accurate. They do sorta blow...... hopefully not fish. I'll leave the "Hootie" part alone. | Cerulean | ||
| Hootie And The Blowfish | There is no one in the band named Hootie, and the only way blowfish makes sense is, if that is their favorite aquatic fish. | Travis | ||
| Hootie And The Blowfish | I dare you not to laugh when you read that. | Chris Kuan | ||
| Hope Lane Is A Dead End | It's pretty long. But that isn't what bothers me. They are saying that hope lane is a dead end. Hope lane is wide open. What is this teaching the kids? That there is no hope in life? | Travis | ||
| Hot Hot Heat | Oh, THAT'S clever. Of COURSE heat is hot! Heat is the condition of BEING hot! Easily one of the stupidest/most ill-conceived band names of all time. | Jonathan S. | ||
| Huckapoo | Detractors could all too easily spoof the name by replacing its first syllable with something thst rhymes with it. Or they could call it just plain poo. | Renee Keener | ||
| Human League | Uh....well obviously they'll be all human...I mean, no intelligent life has been found outside this planet...come to think of it, there isn't much intelligent life HERE, either...look at the people that came up with this band name for instance... | Bye-Gon Jinx |

Submissions Are Accepted Again
Much like the stupid song lyrics page, I get a lot of submissions for this page. More than I can really handle. The problem is that I get a lot of "Blink 182 is stupid 'cuz I said so" submissions, which I have to waste time deleting (though not much). I also get a lot of submissions that just aren't funny. I guess the real problem is that the word stupid can mean so many things, and hence every band name could be considered stupid.
So in short, don't bother sending me stupid email about this stupid page, or you're stupid.
If you have a creative/humorous idea, please submit it.
