Names -> Cool Band Names -> B, 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:
The Beethoven Remix		Actually going through this site there was one name with Beethoven in it, and so I toyed with the idea. I figured Beethoven needed a little makeover so there you go.		*~*Amsy*~*
Beethoven's Poems		An old joke from Ringo Starr...		G

Beheaded By Big Ben		Acronym: BBBB. Inspired by a sick movie ad for a 1970s horror film "Midnight", where a hot naked woman is decapitated by the hands of the clock Big Ben, completely covered in blue. Her head doesn't completely come off yet, but her eyes were staring deathly and her tongue was hanging out of her mouth. Don't worry, she was only a model, so she wasn't really beheaded.		British Bullcrap

Behold The Irony				Mike Oxlong
The Behoovers		I lot of folks use the term "behooves" (as in "It behooves me to...). The most famous usage has to be "Muffy" (Jami Gertz) on the 80s show "Square Pegs". I also know a co-worker that it behooves him to use that verb over and over again.		Jonathan
The Bell Rang		I think it was cool because when I would practice with my band at school in the music room. Everyone that would be listening to us would say, "The bell rang". That's when we knew it was time to stop.		magic man

BeLoW ZeRo		One time during the spring, it snowed and the temperature was below zero. It was a really cold day in the middle of spring, below zero. You don't get that everyday. Since it was such an odd coincidence, I thought it would be a cool band name.		Mop Top
Belt Out Loud		I like it because it's a combination of get Belted and Laugh out loud.		Tammy Brady
Ben and the Wa Balls		My friends and I always say "That was the name of my band in high school" when someone says something unintentionally funny. My friend Ben mentioned he needed help coming up with a name for his new band, so before I could think straight I said "How about Ben and the Wa Balls?" What was so great about it is the other girl who was with us kept badgering us, saying "WAIT! Why is that funny? What the hell are Wa Balls?" [Ed.'s note: Ben Wa balls are Chinese metal balls used for sexual stimulation.]		Amy
The Ben Conspiracy		One day I was sitting in a coffee shop with my boyfriend (whose name is Ben) when a friend of mine walked in (also named Ben!). That night I sat at home and realized that I know tons of guys named Ben. The next day, I exclaimed to someone, "It's a conspiracy of Ben's!!"		Kaaarleh
ben for the rebound		A friend of mine has a crush but the girl is taken. When they break up someone said that ben will go in for the rebound. I think this name would be good for punk rock/pop or emo band		beardangel777

Benevolent Fascist		An inside joke between me and one of my friends. ONE fascist can still potentially be 'nice'. It's MANY that becomes a problem...		crapnel
Benifer A Flake		A whiney vocaled house band, like that flakey whining actor that makes crappy movies and dates nothing but women named Jenifer. But loves himself too much to share it by marrying at least one of them but likes to play house with them and tries to knock em' up, even though he's gay.		badboybear
Bent Brother		It's just cool! The name "Bent Brother" just sounds cool! It's just really an opposite of Twisted Sister.		Anonymous Bob
Bent Like Bob		There was someone me and a friend knew in high school who neither of us could stand, due to him being such a large tw*t. One day, as a way of jokingly insulting someone, i told them they we're 'bent like bob', and immediately thought of how cool a name it would make for a band.

Bermuda Mohawk		There's an exit sign on a nearby expressway that simply states "Bermuda Mohawk". Of course it refers to the streets at the exit, but it sticks in your head like a hatchet every time you see it.		Kristen
The Bermuda Rectangle		It's a play on Bermuda Triangle. I think it would make a good name for a dance/pop or 80s technopop style group.		Edward
Bernie & the 3 Degrees		A really cheesy band name I heard on the radio. Enough said!		Jake
Best Band Every		It's based off something from jacksfilms' Your Grammar Sucks. The YGS raps end in "this is the best song every"		JeReMy
Best Choice Condoms		think about it...they have best choice versions of almost everything else at your store...why not condoms?		Pyro
The Best Next Thing		Now you've heard of the "next best thing." Well now, how about the "best" next thing. For the next best thing, might not be the best. But this is stating that this is the best next thing. By using strategical word play, any person who gets word of this band will want to hear it. To see if it truly is, "The Best Next Thing."		Hoodaskank
Bestiality Sockhop		On an episode of World's Dumbest, comedian Brad Loekle said that a competition called "Canines Come Dancing", which was dancing competition for people to "dance" with their dogs, used to be called "Bestiality Sockhop" before it was renamed "Canines Come Dancing".

Better Left Unsaid		How is it cool? That's probably better left unsaid.		Greg Mawer

Better Off Naked		THis just sounds cool. Plus it sounds like a punk band and i would have never come around if Blink didnt write "Whats my age again"		Joe Jackson
Better Scene Then Heard		It's cool because it's a "play on words". Instead of being "better SEEN then heard", its changed to "better SCENE then heard". It is a song by an awesome band called AMBRY.		whaleandladder
Better than Beethoven		It's interesting even if it's far-fetched.		Lefty Lucy
Better Than Federline		I guess pretty much any rapper could use this.		RevengeFromMars YouTube
Better Than Half Price		I saw it on a health food store. It just sounds like a cool band name.		Rich
Better Than Karaoke		Not a totally lame claim. I HAVE heard karaoke singers perform songs better than the original artists.		Flora Rolf

Better Than Sex		My friend said this after eating a triple chocolate brownie, and I just thought it sounded cool.		Crystal

Beyond Darkness		This name is cool because it could be used for really any type of music. It was funny how it came up my friends. I were all talking about our geometry test. I said that I was beyond darkness. I knew for sure my mother was gonna kill me but later on I was thinking about how that would be a cool band name for us to use.		bannanna sleves 007
Beyond Hidden Death		It's cool because it's the first letter of each word is the frist letter of out band members: B-Bill, H-Heath, D-Daniel, but we don't know if we want to use it because it sounds way too hardcore for the music we play.		daniel
Beyond Recognition		My band used to be embarrassed to share the old band name we used to have. We decided we needed a new one. I thought that since we have a scorching guitarist and a hot sound we needed something having to do with fire. I thought of "burned beyond recognition". Thus "Beyond Recognition" This also fits out band's personality because we do not need to be widely recognized, we're just playing for fun and respect.		Paul U.
Beyond Redemption		i heard it in a TV show once...i think it was law & order SVU but anyways System Of A Down owns all		Addicted To SOAD
Beyond the Odyssey		Just fiddling around with words for a band with a couple knockers from school and thought of this one.		Pogz
Beyond The Scyth		I like this becoz it s unique in its own way, and it makes others think deeply.		Caradog Jones
Beyond Vomit		We were complaining about how bad our upgraded computers were performing at work, when my co-worker Jay said in disgust, "This computer is beyond vomit!" I said that would be a good name for a band...but it would have to be a really bad band...so bad they would be BEYOND VOMIT!		CJ

Bibles Twiced Diced		On Gilmore Girls, Rory comments that 'bible kiss bible' would be a good band name. Mine rhymes. :)		Indy

BiG DuByA		It's pretty self explanatory, don't ya think? But, if I must, it's named after Dubya himself. You know, the President? 'Nuff said.		Y-yoming Viper
Big Flozzy		Well when my crusty punk band was looking for a name. We where going through the "Big Book of Words". And that was one of our combos. It was going to be Inca Flozzy at first. but we combinde A song we call Big Sex And "Inca Flozzy" and got "Big Floozy" or Inca sex. Come see us play some time.		Anarchy Jon

Big Furry Pineapple		I knew a guy that had a garage band by this name, but they quit. The name justs sounds cool.		Joe
The Big R.I.P.		This stands for rest in peace, and also the universe is supposed to expand and rip in the future. They call it the big rip. This would be a good name for a metal band.		enemy909
Big Red And The Red Cross		Since my brother has the nickname "Big Red", and the Red Cross is a big thing in the world, why not name a band Big Red And The Red Cross, as long as Big Red is the lead singer? Makes sense to me.		Freedom Rock
Big Red Ford Station Wagon		Weird dream I had while I was reading an Auto Trader tabloid.		ed swino
Big Sandwich		It's from one of my favorite episodes of "Wings," where the gang throws Joe and Helen a surprise enagagement party and drags out this big sandwich. Just struck me as funny.		Kristina

Big Woody & the Penetrators		Band I used to play in (WAS Dumpster Raven, another cool name!), changed its name when 1 of the 2 founding members quit. Remaining founder came up with this . . . then the paper wouldn't print it . . . radio stations wouldn't announce it . . . couldn't get gigs . . . and the band broke up! Moral: BE CAREFUL WHEN YOUR BAND PICKS A NAME!		Dr. Doug
Big-Headed Lincolns		It reminds me of those new five-dollar bills -- the ones with Abe's giant head staring at you.		JMel-3
Bigger Than a Normal Hat		This is from an SNL celebrity jeopardy skit that I thought was really, really funny. Here is part of it: Burt Reynolds (Norm MacDonald): Ha-ha! Yeah, I found this backstage, an over-sized hat. It's funny. Alex Trebek (Will Ferrell): No, it's not! Burt Reynolds: Sure it is. It's funny. It's funny because it's ah, bigger than, a... [clears throat] ...you know, a normal hat. If you don�t know the skit though, the name begs the question of what, exactly, is bigger than a normal hat.		mimi
Bigger Than Jesus		From John Lennon's famous line about the Beatles being bigger than Jesus. This was the title of Homer Simpson's singing group's album.		Lucy

Bile Siphon		One night at a party, I put a small hose down my buddies throat and pulled out a bunch of gut juice. We ended up naming our thrash metal band after it.

Its music so hard it'll feel like you got kicked in the chest by a horse when your done listening to it.		Lars Comeau
Bill Gates and the Monopolies		I can imagine, in all it's cheesy, synth-pop glory... Bill Gates and the Monopolies.... Coming to a cheap venue near you....		Jigga

Bills Droppin', Caps Poppin'		Great name for a rap group		Jake
Billy & the Fat Dog		On Before They Were Rock Stars, there's this tape of the lead singer of Train, Pat, when he was still in grammar school.

So he has this big stuffed dog, and the guy next to him says, "How's your dog, Billy?" and he answers, "Pretty fat..." and I was thinking about that and I'm like hey...		Trainiac
The Billy Idol Support Band		One of those names that me and my friend have always said we would call a band if we had one! lol		Craig
Billy Wynn and The Losers		The last name of the singer is the opposite of the second part of the band name. Enjoy!		Lance Crackers

The Billys		I like this as a band name because I was hearing The Beatles in the car. I though they are really good, then I heard some guy who published them. His name is Billy, and I thought a really good name would be The Billys.		Stephen
