Making fun of music, one song at a time. Since the year 2000.

Names -> Cool Band Names -> A, 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.

| The Adlai Stevenson Moment | When Colin Powell addressed the UN about WMD, I heard many comparisons to Stevenson's UN address during the Cuban Missle Crisis. People said Powell needed an "Adlai Stevenson moment". And there it was, the perfect name for a jazz combo. | Lisa McGill | ||

| Afflicted | It means geart pain and/or suffering.So i thoguht what a great name for a band.It fitts pretty much any type of Rock. | Mitch | ||
| Affliction | Affliction is decay with pain. We were randomly thinking of names, then looked out the window. Then boom, there you go. | Steve | ||

| Afraid of Hedgehog | It came to me randomly | Shout | ||

| Ages of Blue | I am in a band with two female friends and we basically think that all we can feel is blue until we start to sing and make our music!!!! | Lilly | ||
| Aggraudio | It's a mash up of "aggrovated" and "audio". Would be cool for a metal band or maybe even a genre. | Bernie | ||
| The Aglets | Because it's one of the "Ten Things You Didn't Know Had Names" in "The Book Of Lists". Aglets are the plastic ends of a shoelace that help string your shoes. Without them, you'd have trouble keeping you shoes on. Maybe a band with a member playing a stringed instrument. | Uncle Graham Kracker | ||
| Agressive Trekkies | It is just funny... I came up with it because my dad used to work with Trekkies and let me tell you...Don't make them angry! You don't like it when they're angry because they might have a phaser on them! | Romy | ||

| Ain't Afraid To Kyo | There's this song by a band called Dir en Grey. They made a song called "Ain't Afraid to Die". Die is the name of the guitarist in the band, so I changed it to Ain't Afraid To Kyo. (Kyo is the lead singer). This works in 2 ways: 1)Kyo sounds like 'go' 2) In Japanese, it can be seen as "not afraid of loving Kyo", which would make a great name for a Dir en Grey tribute band! | Kyo Lord XVII | ||
| Ain't Nobody Got Time For Dat | Why not make a Sweet Brown reference? | JeReMy | ||
| AirFunke | Pronounced airfunk after the african town nairfunke | AirHawkins | ||

| Aixel Syd | Aixelsyd is Dyslexia backwards, It seems like it should be a heavy metal band. | Jimmy Lee | ||
| Aixelsyd | It's how a dyslexic person would say dyslexia. I think it would be a punk band name. | phamilto | ||
| AKA | Everyone says "AKA" for "Also Known As". Keep the fans guessing -also known as-what? | Mark Silverman | ||
| Aka Brown | an anagram of "wonka bar" | wonka bar | ||
| AKA*Blonde | Good for a girl rock band... if your all blonde and it sounds cool. | Katie | ||

| Aksis | Pronounce it axis. It looks cooler and is a pretty tight bandname. at least to me. | Chris Skirmont | ||
| The Al Gore Rhythms | Failing a presidential bid in the year 2000. Al starts a lounge act with a few former algebra professors. Songs by The Dead Kennedy's, Mojo Nixon, Bush and Presidents of the United States of America. | Fitz | ||
| Al Jazz Era | Cos it rhymes with my name, and it's and Al Jazeera never stops getting metioned in the news. | Alfie Jasmine | ||
| Alabaster Phantoms | Walking through a souvenir shop I saw a display of statuettes: Granite, Limestone, Alabaster - thought that could be used. Poster advertising Phantom of the Opera outside, tried it with the rocks, Alabaster sounded best. | Sam Swift | ||
| The Alan Myers Memorial | He was the first drummer for Devo...died of cancer last month. | G | ||
| Albatross | This is an awesome classic rock band name that me and my buddies came up with | Wood | ||
| Albert's Fantastic Journey | This is the name of my brother's band. The bassist Kurt's dog is named Albert and he is a sweet dog so they decided on Albert's Fantastic Journey. The original band name was Electric Shoe, so I think this is an improvement. | Maggie | ||
| Albino Black Sheep | It's cool because it makes no sense. It's off a website I found. | billy | ||
| Albino Cat In A Snow Storm | My friend gave me a blank piece of paper and said it was an albino cat in a snow storm, and I found it hilarious. | Lisha | ||
| Albino Pachuco | Could be a bunch of white guys posing as latino thugz in zoot suits or a bunch of white guys in t-shirts and head bandanas wearing low baggy pants and if they got a bunch of tatoos of the vigin Mary and the word "Jesus" and always end each sentence with the words "ay" or "ese". | Badboybear | ||
| The Albino Worms | I once had a dream that my dark purple inflatable chair turned into a kiddie pool and a bunch of my friends and I were swimming in it. When we were done swimming, the chair returned to its normal size and shape, but had water in it, and when we dumped the water, there were albino worms in the chair. Thinking about it now, it would be an interesting band name. | amanda | ||
| Alchemical Centrifuge | It means to turn metal into gold by separating contained materials of different gravities. A heavy metal King Crimson, if you will. | FretBored | ||
| Alchemist Blood | I'd heard of a song from a friend called 'Alchemy of Love,' and figured I'd tweak it a bit---thinking that Alchemist Blood sounds cooler. | xxdaronioxx | ||
| AlcoHarlots | If a female group had that name, I would have to see them for that reason alone. | Brady | ||
| AlcoHole | I was writing down a bunch of bandnames one day and then I accidentaly put an "e" at the end of Alcohol without knowing and when my bandmates went over the list, they said that "Alcohole" was the best. | BeeTleJuce | ||
| Alcoholic Crisis | for all punk-rock bands, can't play without alcohol :) | tonio | ||
| Alegrķa Incontenible | In Spanish, it means "Unrestrained Happyness". It's meant to be ironical or something. I got it while thinking a good name for my band. | BiLLiE the Argentinean | ||
| Alexipharmic Cyanide | Alexipharmic - adj. Expelling or counteracting poison; antidotal. Cyanide - a very toxic substance that is a well-known poison. I was reading a thread on Ultimate-Guitar.com, and I ran across the term alexipharmic. So I looked up its definition and came up with this. It's cool because it's like saying "A poisonous antidote." | Asfastasdark | ||
| Algernon vs. Chadwick | From a feud of imaginary animals that I had in 7th grade. | Susan | ||
| The Algernon-Gordon Effect | This comes from a really whacked-up story I had to read in school called Flowers For Algernon. It's about a mentally retarded man named Charlie Gordon who undergoes a operation to enhance his brain power. Before getting the procedure, he goes through a series of "races" with a mouse named Algernon who received the operation before him (mouse runs through a maze, Charlie uses pencil on an outline). After Charlie gets the op, his IQ triples, and he's running experiments, which results in a study written by him called the Algernon-Gordon Effect: Intelligence will decrease as fast as it is gained. The mouse's intellect fell, then Charlie's. Really weird story, but you should see the movie version of it (which the whole 8th grade at my school had to endure the cheese factor of)! I joked to my friends about using it as a band name, they actually liked the idea. I might even use it eventually! | Alex | ||
| Alias Steel | It is simple how I come up with this, My friend wanted to call our band "Steel". I added the word "Alias" in front of it. As we all know, the word "Alias" means "otherwise known as". Cool? | Mark Blackburn | ||
| Alice | Stoic, like Wheezer. | Matryshoka | ||
| Alice Cooper's Christmas Pudding | I heard a radio DJ say it. I couldn't stop laughing. | GlamRockNinjaLord | ||

| alien avenue | It just sounds great and like my road because everyone is strange down my road! | Pip | ||
| Alien Corn | My best friend came up with it during her first experience with Hominy (ya know, that nasty bloated corn?), and we both thought it sounded like a techno or punk rock band. | Michi | ||
| Alien Missfits | Me and my friend, we have a group, and since she knows we're missfits, her nick (when others are around) is Missfit and my nick is Alien, because I act like somebody that comes from another planet... or atleast that's what they say. So me and her just added the 2 things and thats what it came out to be: We're missfits even among aliens! @__@ | Dafne Davis (Bunny) | ||
| Alien Pubic Hair | It's a line from the movie the book/movie "The Exorcist" and sounds like a good punk band name. | beserker | ||
| Alien Suckerheads | You know like that movie with all those aliens with big fat heads, looked like walking blowpops. All they would say is eeek eeek eeeek and then vaporize a building. I think they were from canada or something. | badboybear | ||
| Alien Vomit | In the movie "3 Ninjas" (the first one), there is a japanese metal group that are tryng to think of a band name, and one of the fatter dudes spits out "how about Alien Vomit" and for some reason I remembered that through to high school, and our band used it. | PNKRCK69 | ||
| Alien8 | The government alienates people so I figured a good punk band name would be Alien8. | Joe Grinstead | ||
| the alienators! | JJ Cabero | |||
| Alienroids | hanging with the fellas. Name just came up. sounds like rock band juiced. | Jeremy Moski | ||
| Alive In Tucson | On the sitcom "The Last Man On Earth", the main character spends much of the first episode driving around the country spray painting "Alive In Tucson" on signs to indicate he survived the plague. I think it sounds cool. | Brian Kelly | ||
| Alkapello | It was my old bands name. it sounds like al pacino. it was funny at the time | Tyler | ||
| All 2 Senses | It could mean you are clueless. Punk Name DEF | Tiki man | ||
| All About Sam | There's this girl at my school and she has the weirdest sayings which would be titles of songs: "Oh My Cheetos", "Are You For Serious?", and "I got a dead buttcheek!" | Junior | ||
| All About Us | My friends and I were pretending to be cool and these boys say, "Hey, dorks, what's your problem?" And I said, "Sorry, it's just all about us," (it was something like that) and my friends and I were trying to start a band at the same time and my friends said that All About Us might be a good name | Somebody | ||
| All But Earth | The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy says that this planet is actually a huge computer meant to find the meaning of life, and that we a just part of the program - and all but Earth seems to know this. Kind of a cruel joke if you think about it. Back to the band name, it also sounds kind of cool. | Princess Ana | ||
| All Comers | Whenever there was an amateur night at an entertainment venue, the host would invite "all comers" to join in. It's a double entendre, and those are always cool. | Cool Joe | ||
| All Fallen Angels | My Friend was watching the movie "The Crow" and heard something like "all angels will fall" and he fixed it up and now its a band name... =) | G | ||
| All Gazelles Are Bad Singers | Especially the one on peppa pig who is a bad guitar player | Joe |
