Names -> Cool Band Names -> B, 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.

Name | Origin | Submitted by: | ||
| The Bandies | I saw a band called " The Bandits". My band loves putting "ies" after everything. | kayla | ||
| Bandit | I think this is cool cos its like using the word BAND as a verb, as in just DO it, like Nike, just BAND it. and Also as BANDIT like a robber doh | seran | ||
| The Banditones | Somehow any band with this name would sound like Rage Against the Machine, and that would be OK. | RevengeFromMars YouTube | ||
| Bandy McMusic | It's so Irish, it's gotta be cool. | Craig | ||
| Bane | Bane means absolute chaos and destruction. That's cool. | 123 | ||
| Bang Band Bang | I just think it sounds cool! | Optimus Lime | ||
| The Bangerz | I came up with it while trying to find a name for my band and I started thinking about when I was baby-sitting my neighbor's 2 1/2 year old boy banging on the keyboard. | Megbo | ||
| Bangkok Ladyboy | Was askin a mate to think of some band names for my band and this is what he came up with. Thought it was a joke but once u get over it's bizarreness doesn't it just roll off the tongue? | Si | ||
| Banjo Meat Mix | Banjos are rarely used and tacos whoop a**. | Derek Dumele | ||
| Banned | It's a play on words, you see!! Because they're a BAND. Would be good for an offensive punk band | Mz | ||
| Banned Name | It's a pun on "band name" | JeReMy | ||
| Bantam Of The Opera | Pun on "Phantom Of The Opera" | Regina Haniger | ||
| Baptism By Fire | This is my personal band's name, It's cool because "Baptism By Fire" is a marines term. It means it's their first week in active duty. | Teh Vocalist/BT | ||
| Bar Elephant Lust | Random words | Ashley | ||
| Bar Of Soap | Why not create a band named after this paticular toiletry? | Hawk | ||
| Barbadensis | It was the ingredient on the back of a shampoo bottle. I plan on calling my first album "Aloe Vera". :) | Abi | ||
| Barbara Darling Brigade | Named after the man-hating go-go dancer/actress Barbara Darling played by Elizabeth Hartman in the 1966 Francis Ford Coppola movie "You're a Big Boy Now." The perfect name for a riot grrrl band. | The Skuz | ||
| Barbed Hearts | I was at a club, and on the wall was a painting of a heart with barbed wire on it. So I drew it, and my friend said we could make the band name the Barbed Hearts. | billy | ||
| Barbed Wire Barbies | Well, I personnally would NEVER has it as a band name, but it rings a certain bell. Maybe it could be used for a girl band that want to look like, I dunno, less "pretty-girl". Yep. | Tessa | ||
| Barbed Wire Heart | It's cool cuz it symbolizes how people feel when they are heart broken | Joseph Bailey | ||
| Barbed-Wire Jockstrap | One day, my dad was making fun of all the heavy metal band names and just blurted this one out. Ever since, I've passed it along because it's so funny, although it seems like it would be painful. Perfect metal band name! | toolman | ||
| BarbedWireHearts | BARBEDWIREHEARTS | |||
| The Barbie Reputation | think its good for an all girl band because of the stereotypical barbie-slut theory | Leanne | ||
| Barbie Ruined My Life | This is the name of my sister and her friend's band. They were looking through newspaper clipping and found a newpaper article titled "Barbie Ruined My Life!" The rest, as they say, is history. | Clams Have Feelings Too | ||
| Barcode | I've always liked this word because it could describe anything if you think about it, since barcodes are used in the stores like that. In New York there was a building with a sign that said "BARCODE" It was an awesome sign, by the way. | Jessie | ||
| Bare Crosses | A Christian rock band with perverted hidden agendas... | FireTiger | ||
| Bare Midriff | I just kinda like it... at my school, if you wore a shirt above your belly button they would be like " Bare midriff" and give you a big shirt to wear over it | halito | ||
| Barf Bag Maggots | Just like 'Snot Waffle', it's from a newspaper comic. And once again, if you want to be really disgusting... | IHaveNoBrain | ||
| The Barking Mops | Okay so this one time at Animal Control there was this little bitty dog. I asked what is was and the person in control said it was a Pomeranian. I said it looked more like a barking mop to me and I thought that would make a cool band name. | IHaveNoBrain | ||
| Barley Boys | I always thought it would be so awesome if there was an Irish metal band. The lead guitar riffs would sound like folk songs played on the fiddle and the guitarist would do the jig at the same time. That would be freaking sweet. Irish music is awesome. It would sound beautiful on guitar!!! I might just learn how to play traditional Irish folk dance songs on guitar.lol | Victor V | ||
| Barmaid's Shoal Tire | Sounds like a neat name; I don't know why. I first heard it when my cousin was trying to sing a song on her father's Irish Christmas record. Some of the songs were in Gaelic and in one she was trying to sing the closest sounding English words. The only words I remember hearing her sing for that song were "Barmaid's Shoal Tire" | Heidi Jones | ||
| Barn Raising With the Amish | Since having a band is something I don't picture the Amish doing on account of their conservative lifestyle, I thought it would be cool to name a band after them. | Susan | ||
| Barnes and Not So Noble | My Dad works at the Princeton U Store and we were talking about the competition between the two stores and then I said, "I guess Barnes isn't so noble". | RachH | ||
| The Barneys | The band dressed up in purple suits, singing 'Do you want to be my friend'? | Jim | ||
| Baron von Salivate and the Vague Nutrition | I'm big on The Beatles. From what I've heard the album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was The Beatles poking fun at bands with long names, so I was trying to come up with my own, but to no avail. Finally, I was listening to the radio and talking outloud to myself and I stumbled on my words several times. The first time "Baron von Salivate" came out, and I chuckled. Next "Vague Nutrition" spouted out, and I put the two together. | Prettz | ||
| Barrack Obama | It's a relatively common misspelling of Barack Obama | JeReMy | ||
| basement butt monkeys | we were playing one night and some guy that we didnt know came up to us and said we look like a bunch of monkeys on stage. well we practice i an basement of a friends place so we just put it together,basically just to get a laugh outta people,we don't use it in public just at home in the basement | robbie chisholm | ||
| Basement Circus | Just came up with it while reading 'Puddle Of Mudd' lyrics. Sounds punkish. | Junior | ||
| The Basement Rats | The collective name for certain minor cast members in a webcomic I read; http://missmab.com/Cast/rats.php . I just thought the name would work from the moment I first heard it. | Sofox | ||
| Basement Siren Song | All my instruments and stuff are in the basement. When me & my friends Skiv work to play, we say we're answering the basement siren song. | Mr Big | ||
| Bashaka Meniakus | This was my bands original name. It would work well as a Trip Rock band name. It didn't work to well for our Punk/Hardcore band. | SavageEntity | ||
| basically nothing | im starting a band an a guy ask me what was it called and i didnt have a name so i said, 'basically nothing"...i was think about it but then i decided not to use it | that guy | ||
| Basinets And Castanets | Two words coming together because of their vaguely similar sounds, even though they designate dissimilar things. As a band name it might have a rhythmic aura as if both were musical instruments. | Richard Wetfuss | ||
| The Basket Cases | I was sittin' around listenin' to "Basket Case" by Green Day one day and I thought, "'The Basket Cases' would be a cool name for a Green Day tribute band" | Joey Ramone | ||
| Basketball Bros | I think it'd be a cool name for a rap duo. I'd listen to them if someone decided to use this name. | Joe Cool | ||
| Basketball Bruise | I think it's best for any band that makes music fit for basketball playing | Lefty Lucy | ||
| Bass Ackwards | A spoonerism of the phrase "ass backwards", commonly used in situations in which swearing is strongly discouraged. | JeReMy | ||
| Bassick Dumba** | i dunno really, i just thought of much i am of a dumba** and i put bassick , bc that is the cool/loser way to spell basic | Angela Dumbass | ||
| Bastard Toadflax | It comes from the name of a wildflower. Since flower names for people (and sometimes bands) are popular, here's a suggestion for a different flower name that isn't among the usual flower names, such as Rose, Daisy, Violet, Lily, or Iris, etc. | D. Melody Dole, MD | ||
| Bastards on Wheels | This band rocks but probably pay higher auto insurance rates than most people. | RevengeFromMars YouTube | ||
| Bat-Winged Crow | It's just kind of a cool image that just popped in my head. | Markisov | ||
| The Bathroom Five | Do I have to explain myself? | burntbyhope | ||
| The Bathroom Passes | It's kinda sick, okay, but in middle school they were THE thing to have. | Sarah | ||
| Batibot | batibot is deep tagalog(filipino) word meaning small but terrible...or shall I say Samll but kick ass! | Sidd | ||
| Batteries Not Included | If you're of the un-electronica kind and strictly steered toward real instruments, this would be, in my opinion, the best one-word explaination of a band trying to get that point across. OR maybe irony is the theme. | Odette | ||
| Battery Not Included | It's cool because it has two meanings. It can mean a battery you use to run toys, flashlights etc., or a band that refuses to get in fights or beat up people, thus the battery is not included. | rocky | ||
| Battery Operated Boyfriend (Bob) | If Steely Dan can get away with it way back in the seventies, surely this is legit today!? I heard it at a bar in Jersey and knew it would spread like wildfire. I know I like my Bob. | Mardel Rankodel | ||
| Battle Of The Frost | I was playing "Super crazy guitar manic deluxe 2" and I remembered that one song from the NESkimos. I was thinking "that sounds cold, like, frigid..." Then I wanted to add a "Battle" somewhere in the band name, thus I came up with "Battle of the Frost" | BombDodger | ||
| The Battlefield | Its the name of my Hp fan fiction on Snitchseeker.com and its one of those names that really stick in your head I guess. I think itd be cool for a Punk (or not punk) Rock band or such! | ROSSE | ||
| Battteries Gone Dead | i was watching this wierd movie on tv called batteries not included and im in a band myself... but the other members in my band didnt like the name so i guess someone else can have it.. | smoocher | ||
| BAUKEM! | The sound a person makes when they are knocked upside the head senseless. My friend makes this noise when massacring in video games. This is how you know he has won. | noodleboy | ||
| Bayonet Misfire | Describes humanity perfectly. They get something good and confuse its purpose, and then they screw it up completely. | chris | ||
| Bazinga | Sheldon's catchphrase on CBS's The Big Bang Theory | JeReMy | ||
| Bazzle Dazzle | I made it up when i was a little kid, but i have no idea what it means. Maybe it's like Razzle Dazzle? | Jordan | ||
| BB McGee | well ppl i kno have big boobs so we call them BIG BOOBED Mcgees | Caprodeites-long story | ||
| BBY (Best Band Yet) | It's cool because it's short and tells a lot. [Ed's note: And hopefully, for their sake, it's true.] | Alicia Parnel | ||
| Be Polite And Shine A Horn Too | I thought of it from wordplay on "be polite", and the humorous reversal of the pun on "be polite" with "shine a horn". | Adlai Alda | ||
| The Beagles | Best pop group nay group period bar none? The Beatles. Any band who plays similar type music. Would sound cool. | Laszlo A. Voros | ||
| Bean Bush | i came up with this name as i was remembering the time when i was at a sleepover, and we were playing telephone, and the phrase was paint brush, but by the time it got to me it was bean bush, u kinda had to be there, but it was really funny | Kacey | ||
| Bean-stain Pink Mikey | I was doin this mad lib with a friend of mine in grade school and we did this stupid one and it asked for a color and we came up with Bean-stain pink; and mikey was our protagonist's name... | Mark Borison | ||
| Bear Victim #4 | This came from a radio ad for Leiney's beer where one of the two brothers who own the company is casting a movie to show how they went from their humble beginnings in the woods to where they are today. The other brother asks if he has a part in the movie. "Sure, here you go." "Bear Victim #4?" | Disco 3:16 | ||
| Bearded Bunnies | Can you imagine what bearded bunnies would look like? Weeeeiiiirrrrdd | Mouse | ||
| Beast Pieces | I was ridin with some peeps from Dallas to SanAngelo after heavy night of partying and we kept seeing road kill everywhere that my friend coined"Beast Pieces" | Hambone | ||
| Beating Freedom | I dunno | The Mole | ||
| Beating the Mailbox | Me and my sisters were thinking up names for if we were to be an alternative rock band and we all agreed this was our top choice, however our back up name is "The Ruggy Punk Potatoes". | Kestral | ||
| Beautiful Colors | Colors Are Beautiful and Ya Its Kinda Awesome | Karissa | ||
| Beautiful Disaster | Obviously from the title of a Kelly Clarkson song. I thougt what a great band name! It's an oxymoron, i like those kind of things. It conjures up something that could be really wonderful but will probably end in a spectacular and sad way. And at the same time is a real big mess. Kind of like the story of Romeo and Juliet. | Ed | ||
| Beautiful Disaster | Also a name of a 311 song. | blc | ||
| Beautiful In Pink Fetus | Umm ya its just gnarley. My friend can up with it for our band so TAKEN lol. He likes the word fetus and he's got pink hair. | Dani | ||
| Beautiful Jail | In the Jimmy Eat World video for the song "Work" Various kids are interviewed about what they think about high school, and one girl says "high school is like a beautiful jail" I thought that was pretty cool. | Hawk | ||
| Beautiful Nightmares | It's kind of like our lives. They can be beautiful, but they can be nightmares. My friends and I started this band and we liked the name. My friend Jenna is the one who came up with it. We loved the name so we decided to use it. | Amy | ||
| The Beautiful Peepholes | Or inspiration Marilyn Manson gets when he looks through keyholes to see the nasty girls doing nasty things. I thought you would like it. :D | D. Mented | ||
| Beautifully Disasterous | Awesome song name by a local Winnipeg punk band, and the name and the song blows me away. | kayey | ||
| Beautifully Grotesque | Another oxymoron featuring words synonymous with both beauty and ugliness. Courtney Love would be a perfect example of someone who is beautifully grotesque. | Pope Benedict's Bastard Son | ||
| The Beauty of Smashing | We came up with this in my guitar class. My teacher said we could smash some cheapo Stellas, and i said, "Ah, the beauty of smashing." And so our band was just that. | I AM IRON MAN | ||
| Beaver Barrier | This was one of the clues in a crossword puzzle. I think its supposed to mean a beaver dam, but it just sounds so much cooler, like a beaver breaking the sound barrier. Think about it! Sonic Boom Beaver! (hey, thats not a bad name either) | evilweevil | ||
| Beavers At Nine | I was watching TV one day, and a commercial came up advertising a nature program about Beavers at nine o' clock. It's cool because it's oddly funny. Go ahead... just try saying it with a straight face! | Chris | ||
| Bebop | i just thought of it from cowboy bebop! i love that show! tee hee hee! | shorty | ||
| bedknobs & broomsticks | that's a movie but i got the soundflow from angels & airwaves... | jared28136 | ||
| Bedspread Jesus | i came up with it when my friends 4 year old brother came and stole the box of cheez-its i was eating and i said, "hey ben stole the cheez-its." my friend replied' "did you say bedspread jesus," and a band name was born | lieutenant yummy | ||
| Bee-where | Beware | Koolaid | ||
| Beef Curtains | When I was in England in the 80's (touring with a band), I learned a lot of Brit slang. This is a female anatomical reference... | Mongoose Eyeball | ||
| Beef Muzzle | Got drunk and came up with it. thought it sounded funny yet cool | Justin | ||
| Beefaroni Shoestore | Uh...it's kind of a long story. Let's just say I combined 2 jokes from Comedy Central Presents and Just Shoot Me. | wadded beef | ||
| The Beefcake Brothers | We thought that this name was totally gangster. It sounds 'original' with a bit of a meaty tang. Just think, the first song could be titled, "Greasy Spatula". Doesn't it ring a bell? We thought that it would be awesome: The Beefcake Brothers with their number 1 hit single, "Don't Go Squishing My Buns"!!! | Alley&Kara | ||
| The Beefcake Monkeys | my friend put that as a banner on cell phone one day and I thought it was funny | ton ton | ||
| Beeh Grade | Because it's not an "a" grade like perfect. It's slightly off beat, just like a rock band, (personality wise.. not musically). | Brittney | ||
| Beer Frisky | As far as I know, this is original to me. One night, I was a little drunk after drinking one of those supersize beers at an Atlanta Braves games and I leaned over to my then-girlfriend and slurred "I'm feeling a little beer frisky, honey." | Mel S. Hutson | ||
| Beer Induced Haze | It just is cool. The best! | Paulie | ||
| Beethoven and the Electrons | hehehe i came up with this one for my friends because they always come up wiht the STUPIDEST band manes (aka the eclectics, the surgeons) and they also think they are the greatest thing to happen to music since beethoven whihc they are actually as far from as they can get. poor guys | OH yeah |
