Names -> Cool Band Names -> A, Page 6

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.

Ashes of Abdication		I was surfing the dictionary one day and- (yes, I really was), and I came up with the word "abdication." It essentially means "dethronement." The word fits my past there years of high school perfectly! From valedictorian at my old school I have become abdicated. Now I'm number 23 out of 434. Oh well.

The Asian Attack Squad		It's actually the name of my band. I drew a picture of this band called Xero, that I created. My friend wrote "The Asian Attack Squad" on top since all my band members are asians. I thought it sounded cool and kept it. You can substitute Force or Posse for Squad.		Akira Hahn
The Asian Buffet Skimmers		I came up with it when I was having breakfast at a hotel. It came to me when I saw all the Asian tourists hogging the food in the buffet. I love this name. {Ed.'s note: Just as long as you don't have anything against Asians.}		christina gill

Ask No Questions		This would be such an awesome name for a band that played a bunch of different styles like hardcore, techno, goth, electric etc...at one time my brass quintet considered it because we played jazz and classical and arrangements of rock stuff...but it kind of fell apart. I still think the names f***ing cool, though.		jacki
Aspectus		sounds cool, but it's actually latin for range of power or vision.		matt

Asphalt Orgy		It's from a YouTube video about insane Justin Bieber fans		JeReMy
Asphyxia		My friend and I were sitting in his bedroom smoking tab after tab. In the end, the air in his room was so thick with smoke that we couldn't breathe! We were listening to Sepultura at the time and this was the dumbest name we could come up with!		Mike n' Jake

Assault Of The Cult		it just sounds cool.		Cody

Assets and Liabilities		It's almost tax season again. And this group has a combo of rich and poor people.		Rock Maninoff
Assistant Pee Wiper		I was with my friend at Bush Gardens, waiting in line for a rollercoaster one time, and we watched as the row of cars came in. Apparently, someone had been so scared, they peed in their seat. Well, this guy comes out, with a towel and a spray bottle, and wipes the pee off. He so named him the "Assistant Pee Wiper" because he was to young to be top.		Becca
Assless Chaps and Underwear		I had a random thought about if assless chaps would be less disturbing if the wearer was wearing underwear and you can see the underwear.		JeReMy

Astaroth		Astaroth is a god that watches over hell but is also the god of delightment.		Blake Allen

The Asthmatics		For those of us who are always fighting for air. Ohhhhhhhh, Fighting For Air, that's another good one.		cheetah m

AtaXia Callusive		I was reading a biology book at library,when I found the word 'Ataxia' that stands for a neuron inability to keep the body's balance. And 'Callusive',well I heard this from Box Car Racer's song. See guys,science is not relly boring after all.		RiNa

Atomic Nuclear Pizza Of Doom		When I was in junior high economics, one of the in-class assignments was to make a pizza. I accidentally used a tablespoon of basil instead of a teaspoon (which one's smaller?), making my pizza VERY spicy. So this is what I called it.		IHaveNoBrain
Atomic Nuclear Sporks		Sporks with the power to create three-eyed fish O_o Interesting....		Chiriko-chan
Atomic Tundra		In 7th grade, a couple of my guy friends were going to start a band. I figured I was pretty involved, since I had written every song they wanted to play. In Math one day, I got bored, so I started thinking of ANYTHING I could for a band name. One of our vocab words in Science was tundra, and I just thought that was a cool word.

Atta to End		me and my friends came up with this. Atta to En means eight to one in german or some language, so we changed it to Atta to End so it'd, I dunno, have end in it. So it kinda means eight to one. A single would be "we are outnumbered"		Boogie
Attack of the Attackers		Redundancy is far too overlooked nowadays, and anyway this is one band name that you can't say doesn't make sense.		Horseradish of the North
Attack of the Giant Metal Spiders		There's a nine metre tall metal spider outside of the National Art Gallery in Ottawa that's meant to be a symbol of protection and nurturing because the name of it is the French word for "mother" but it just looks like something from a B grade horror movie		dayna
Attack of the Nature Droid Duck Pirates		It makes no sense at all.		Chazm

Attic		This is a cool name coz me and my band have band practice in my friend's attic.		chris
Attic Noise		My mom alwayz calls the type of music I listen 2 "attic noise" because she thinks there is no beat to it and itz kinda creepy. I usually just reply, "no mom this iz (name of band)."

Attitude Girls		My attitude's bossy. (we took this name)		Beth
Attractive When Drunk		My mate asked me to describe his step-sister in 3 words! Cool name for any band!		Sim
Atypical Day		Obviously, a play on the phrase, "A typical day." It works nicely since "atypical" is a slightly stronger way of saying something is strange, so an "atypical day" would be something to talk about indeed.		Jonathan S.

Audiocrime		A combination between Audioslave (which is good but no way near as good as R.A.T.M) and my friend's fathers' band, Radiocrime. Cool.		Nathan da legend
AudioLife		Sounds cooler as one word with the "A" and the "L" capitalized. It's cool because it says, in a catchy, memorable way that music is life and describes the life of the band.		Rachel
Audiomatic		This stuck in my head when a person with a speech impairment was trying to tell me about his car.		John
AudioVisual Stimulation		I once had a science teacher in high school named Mr. Wagner who, whenever we were about to watch a film, would say, "We're going to have some audiovisual stimulation today." We always used to make fun of it once we were out of class...and after all, a concert IS audiovisual stimulation, so it kinda makes sense!		Carla Bisagni
