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.

Bim's Band Booms | This is a line in Dr Suess' "Fox in Socks" book. I die every time I read it to my kids. | Bill C | ||
Binary Fission | Not sure about the proper meaning - but I think it's how particular germs reproduce. Just a cool name for anyone interested. | Tilly | ||
Binary Twin Syndrome | Science class was all about binary star systems, which got me thinking. There's always a twin who's dominant and one who's recessive. "Syndrome" was the perfect cherry on top. | LandOfMerkin | ||
Bingo Nite | You know how they have bingo nights at elementary school? | Junior | ||
The Bingo Warning | sounds cool, imagine the 'ching ching' sound coming , or is it? | TV Violence | ||
BioFuel | Andrew | |||
Biomethod | It is a mixture between biohazard and method man. I was going to called Biomethod man. But is would sound pathetic. | Biz_B04 | ||
Bionic Buds | It's like saying best friends. And the reason why i came up with it was because, my band members and i are best buds. We were, like Bionic. Besides, Buds, can also mean Weed Buds. | Matisse | ||
Bipolar Bear | A personal nickname of mine and an interesting play on words | Molly | ||
Birdcheese | See "Supernova Jackson's Dream People". | Geoff R | ||
Birds Chirpping Softly | I was outside in my hammock, just chilling and playing my bass, when some birds started chirpping, I was trying to play with them, but they were a lot better. It's just a cool name. | Sarah | ||
Birth Of A Mistake | It's kind of sad but some of my friends have been called "mistakes" by their parents when they were angry and not aware of what they were saying. I just knew that everyone is born and some are called mistakes. So "Birth Of A Mistake" was what came to my mind. It's actually the name of a song for my band. | Evan | ||
Birth Of A Theory | I was watching ' Someone like you' staring Ashly Judd I think, ( Trust me I hate chick flicks, but it was the only think on at the moment ) and there was this part when she talks about a theory relating dating guys and cows, then there was a caption above a picture of cows saying ' Birth of A Theory' and BANG it was the name of my band. | Q Tip | ||
Bisexual Frog | the first time i heard someone was bi i thought what if animals could be bisexual too and it's been rolling in my head ever since. | ben | ||

Bitch Burfict | Both a Pitch Perfect reference, and a perfect description of Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict, who is more known for dirty play than anything good. | JeReMy | ||
Bitch School | It a Spinal Tap song. It's a funny song in my opinion and I thought it would make a cool band name. The first two albums would be After School Detention and Substitute Teacher! Rock On | Way Cool Jr | ||
Bitchcraft | My band were thinking up names for our band. We saw something made by Soundcraft and thought that bitch was a much better word than sound. | Andy Prentice | ||
Bite Size Yak | I was looking through a Zits comic book. When Jeremy's band is coming up with a name, Bite Size Yak is one of their ideas. | Nikki | ||
Bite The Silver Bullet | I just think it would be really cool if we actually could bite bullets...? | Lily Powell | ||
Bitter Gentian | A gentian is actually an herb used to promote love and other positive things, and calling it bitter makes people go "Huh?". It also sounds cool | lilwiccan | ||
Bitter Pills | Read it in a book somewhere, and it sounded realy goth, so I liked it. | Stefanie | ||

BitzClimpkit | i was listenin to all in the family by korn and i thought that was the best insult to durst in the song | mR. HoBo | ||
Bizarre Comets | I just thought of it. It's cool sounding for a band name | John | ||
Black Back Bladder Wrack | Its so hard to say and it rhymes as well ! Kinda makes you think of people p***ing black ink out of their back. Ewww. Its a hard Rock and Roll-er name | POPPY Z BRITE | ||
Black Bamboo | Black Bamboo > me and some friends were building some stuff with bamboo and Bec lit it on fire. whAT COLOUR DID IT TURN? BLACK! | Marcelle | ||
Black Bastard Sunday | One, b/c it doesn't have 'The' at the beginning of it. ;-) lol.. I don't know if it's cool... it just rolls off your tongue when you say it... I think it was on a Sunday, right after the new curfew was passed in Atl., & I was callin' Sunday a bastard 'cuz bars close earlier already! So my Sunday's became my darkest day- black. My black bastard Sunday.... | Sarah Willingham | ||
The Black Butterflys | i came up with it bye looking at this black catipiller and i said wow that might turn out to be a black butterfly, thus bring us to the name black butterflys | Christina | ||
Black Counting Sheryls | Combination of Black Crows, Counting Crows, & Sheryl Crow. I thought of this back in the early nineties when I was hearing them more on the radio. | Rocky | ||
Black Death | We were learning about it in school and I thought it would be good for A Black/Death Metal Band obviously or any metal band really | JohnJ | ||
Black Delima | i was looking through these band names and not one of them are a real metal band. that made me sit down and come up with a cool name. Black Delima it sounds metally and is pretty freaking awesome | dustin | ||
Black Eyed Dogs | It has nothing to do with the group " Black Eyed Peas" I had this idea long before them. It's a Nick Drake song entitled... well "Black Eyed Dog" heh, go figure. | Jesus Eslarepuesta | ||
Black Fire | It's my band, P.O.C.'s side project. The drummer and I are in it (only you guys know this) I take on a new name in the band. But we were bored and nameless we just thought this up. We're an anger-management band.....NOT! | S.T.G. | ||
Black Flame | This would be an awesome band name. Imagine it on a T-shirt:Red block letters saying BLACK FLAME w/ black flames behind it. | ilovelinkinpark | ||
Black Glitter Overkill | It's cool because it evokes a mental picture of obnoxious, androgynous goth Glam rockers. Perhaps like Ziggy Stardust with a lip piercing and a black-dyed mohawk, moaning softly into a microphone in incomprehensible tongues. The name itself came about when someone asked me why I was wearing black glitter lipstick, and I stated my belief that wearing black glitter lipstick and black glitter eyeshadow together would be, most definately, black glitter overkill. Wouldn't you agree? | Aerin | ||
Black Guys on the Road | A play on "black ice on the road". Great name for an all-black band | JeReMy | ||
black haven | It's awsome for a band that's all witches that use to be my band name. I came up with it while I was sitting in my room and just started singing in my head trying to think if a band name. Then I said 'black raven' out loud and my friend heard. She thought I said 'black haven' so she said that sounds awsome. | pagan | ||
Black Ice | I was in music class and my friend told me a band name and then I thought Black Ice. | Emily | ||
Black Ink | My band and I were just thinking of what you might write suicide letters in. Blood for Ink was another one, but we figured you'd be dead before finishing the letter. | Shorty | ||
Black Inn | This would be a good band name for a death metal band. | langt | ||
Black Ivy | We were drawing leaves in Art, and we had to draw Ivy and clour it in any color, so I colored mine black, thus came the name Black Ivy! | The Gurl who got away with Frankie Muniz | ||
Black Laughter | It is cool because it is just so weird. I wanted something like Black Sabbath but alittle different | Z-Cool | ||
Black Lily | I came up with it cause I was bored and I was wearing a black shirt and saw a lily on the tv. | Fetus Cape | ||
Black Mayfly | I'm not sure what kind of band this would fit for.... and I'm not exactly sure if mayflys are already black, but as long as this doesn't cause racial problems, it'd be a cool band name, right? | Baths | ||
Black Nail Polish | It just sounds cool, especially if the band was all guyz and they wore it to all their shows. it cud b their trademark. | goddess | ||
Black Omen | From the name of the final dungeon in the game "Chrono Trigger." They could be morbid death metal, or they could perform covers of songs from Chrono Trigger! Wouldn't THAT be nice? | Olvan The Terrible | ||
Black Pearl | I was on a website playing a game, and you have to find pearls. So then I found a black pearl. Then I was like OMG that's an awesome band name!!!!! | Tor | ||
The Black Portrait | cool huh! | Mason | ||
The Black Rainbows | I always thought that would be a funny name for a gay/lesbian punk or metal band, simply because the concept of a black rainbow is so absurd. | Sean | ||
The Black Rappers | It's generic but cool. Best for a rap group. | Freddy | ||
Black Reign | One day it will happen. When it does, all Hell will follow. In the meantime, bros & hoes, keep looking up, but close your mouths so you don't drown. | Master Murdock | ||
The Black Salve and The Dreams | I think this would be a good band name because it is so demented that people will laugh. | Ryan C. | ||
Black Santa Groove | It's actually a misheard phrase (accent ague - in french), but as soon as I realised, I thought it would be a cool name for a retro-funk band. | Owen | ||
Black Seraph | Seraph means angel, you could also probably come up with some pretty cool album covers with this name. | enemy909 | ||
Black Sheep | I guess it would go in reference to NOT following the herd, because sheep do. Black sheep wouldn't! | Imran Naim | ||
Black Sheep | Since so many bands seem to moan about their families these days, 'Black Sheep' seemed like the obvious thing (as in 'the black sheep of the family'). | Emma | ||
Black Sheep | I got this name from the phrase "black sheep of the family". The name is sort of a tribute to outsiders. Hopefully my friend's band will end up using it. | Maya Papaya | ||
Black Stool Billies | Worked with a guy who came to work one time complaining that his stools were black because he'd been taken Pepto Bismal. So, that's what we started calling him. | EDS5 | ||
Black Storm | its cool cause its a storm that is black and you cant go into the darkness | honeystar | ||
Black Suburu | This came to me while tyring to remember the name of the reggae band "Black Uruhu." I was going to put it under "New Band Names" but I found out they weren't accepting new entries for that anymore." It could be the name for a reggae band for rich white people who own SUVs, or for a band that loves that car. | Door into Summer | ||

Black Tear | I think it's cool cuz its real. I came up with it when i smeared my black eyeliner n it came out as a 'Black Tear' | RiotGirl0069 | ||
Black Tears of Misery | I wrote a song one time and I titled it "Black Tears of Misery", so I always liked the name. Plus, if you're in a band their is always more than 1 person 99.99 percent of the time, so tears makes it plural. | Aly McGugan | ||
Black Vice | It's based off a really good card in Magic The Gathering | MFC | ||
Blackbeard Played Bagpipes | Mixing a pirate and bagpipes is just plain cool... | skippy | ||
Blackberry Bush | I liked blackberries | Some band geek | ||
BlackDaughter | Perversion of two Pearl Jam songs {"Black" and "Daughter"} I think they would be great as a grunge/goth band. | S.T.G. | ||
Blackend Sunrise | I was chilling with the band trying to think of a name. My guitarist said "a dark sunset." kind of just ran off that | Tarrance | ||
Blackening Bite | It's cool because it's gross and my friend said it was cool. I came up with it when I was writing a story where one of the characters got bitten by a snake monster and got poisoned by it. | mizfrizl | ||
The Blackest Hole | I love the song "When It Rains" by Paramore, a line is "You made yourself a bed at the bottom of the blackest hole" and I loved the part "the blackest hole" ever since | Someone | ||
BlackGlow | its kinda funky because it is easy to imagine like an angel with a silver or white glow but a black glow would be special if u could get it in a white room, if it were possible. it sounds original and 'dark' too. good for maybe rock/punk type of band | amy | ||
BlackLight | I was staring at my lamp, when I turned it off my light and my glow-in-the-dark stickers were glowing. I thought to myself , "Hey, they glow like a black light." | Kailey | ||
The Blackness of Blue | It sounds very vague and metephorical. How can black be blue? | Jessie W. | ||
BlackOnion | It just came to me one day. Would be a good for a Black Crows kind of sound! | Christian Dean | ||
Blackout | It would be cool, as well as the fact that at the start of a concert the lights would be turned off, and then maybe a few flashes while the music starts before the light comes on for the song. I don't know why I came up with it, really, but I just though it sounded cool. | Yomega | ||
Blackout | DRUMMER BOY | |||
Blackrout | It's pronounced like "blackout" but with an R in it. My friend's nephew said "What if there's a blackrout" when talking about stuff. | Joe S. | ||
BlackSheep | It's from a song by Nirvana. "The blacksheep got blackmailed again." | Kayla Thompson | ||
Blacksmith Bondage | I was thinking of people bonded to metal and came up with this. | dennis | ||
Blacktop December | Blacktop is what they place on roads to make it look straight and new, while December is a month of happiness that smiles at hardships and problem. Blacktop December, a new road for the misguided. | demetrius | ||
A Blackwood Article | From Edgar Allen Poe and his short story, How To Write A Blackwood Article. Consequently this is the name of my 5 piece band. | Cato | ||
Blah Blah Blah And So On And So On | I was watching "The Tell Tale Heart" by Edgar Allen Poe. This was one of my notes the full note was "Villans Dissasemble, no longer I admit the deed blah blah blah and so on and so on". It sounds very punkish, don't ya think? | phamilto | ||
Blaise Pascal's Bathroom | The mental image of a French mathemetician in the can is humorous in itself. | Scrapplebaerry | ||
Bland Boy Trung | A Bob Dylan cover band. Bland Boy anagrams into Bob Dylan, also Blind Boy Grunt is a pseudonym he used, and Trung is the name of my friend's vietnamese ex-roommate and an anagram of Grunt. Vietnamese members not required... Plus it sounds cool. | Larry C. Otis | ||
The Blank | Well, my freinds and I were at the Cleveland food bank when we decided we needed a band. we were thinking and we figured it needed to by something like "The _______". Since we couldn't think of a word to go, we just left it as "the Blank" | Sam | ||

Blank Label | Could they actually put this on a label? | Rastin | ||
