Names -> Cool Band Names -> B, Page 7
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.

| Box of Wolves | I've always wanted to hear a band with the word ' wolf ' in it! | Purple K | ||
| Boxers or Briefs | This is a dive into the philosophical side of musicians and listeners alike. A lifelong that remains unanswered and unproven. | Davo | ||
| A Boy Named Sue | Well I guess it speaks for itself | erik | ||
| Boy Scout Cookies | Me and my friends were visiting California and were at a grocery store where we saw Girl Scouts selling cookies, and we thought 'Hey why don't Boy Scouts sell cookies?' | Jake K. | ||

| Braided Peace | I was trying to come up with a rock band name that didn't promote violence and would have some duality in it.

| Brain Droppings | I Was Reading one of George Carlin's books and thought "Hmmm This could be an excellent band Name." | Jennifer | ||
| Brain Fart | That's my term for a dumb, useless idea that comes outta nowhere. | IHaveNoBrain | ||
| The Brain Worms | Yep, I can just picture it now..."Mommy? The Brain Worms are playing, can I go see them?" | Nyte | ||
| The Brain-dead Space Cadets | I suppose it started with the Dead Kennedys, then cross-bred with the term of opprobrium Space Cadet, carried one step futher. | Michael Chas | ||
| Braineact | I came up with it because I have a friend who she thinks she is so smart so du what do you think we would call her!!!! | music | ||
| BrainFrame | I was thinking of the word mainframe and all the words that rhyme with main. Brainframe also sounds like a punk band, so there you have it. | Slate | ||

| Brainiac Maniac | Rhymes.... | Harlow | ||
| Brainwashed By Society | My friend and I had a punk band for awhile, and this was the name, because we felt as though we were taught how to live life by the society and the things taught in school (go to class when a bell rings, do as your told, etc.) and we thought this was bullcrap, so we decided this was it. | B-TyM | ||
| Brak | A sidekick from "Spaceghost : Coast To Coast". Cool character, cool name. | Vorn | ||

| Branded | ten-care | tommy lowe | ||
| Branded Savage. | Hello, folks. In keeping this short, I just wanted to say that, as A Native American, natives back some several decades back were basically considered to be savages only because of what I see as a people defending something. They were quickly losing, and to me, that was their land, identity and a way of life. So, since early childhood, I have it engrained on my mind: a picture of a lone native man, on his knees, with his hair held back tightly, hands tied behind his back, being "branded" with a branding iron,the word "savage". | Wayne.Dudoward | ||
| Brandon Is Dead | This will be a good name for a band that has a guy named Brandon in it. The fans will think that someone died. | Ryan C. | ||
| Brat Worst | It's a play on "bratwurst" and pronounced like the word "brat", meaning an impudent (misbehaving) child. I got it from a made-up bad joke I told a few times. | German | ||
| BRAWL! | It just sounded cool to me. | enemy909 | ||
| Brazen | Brazen is another word for "shameless", I just think it's cool. | kearnage | ||
| Brazen Head | I came up with this one day when I was looking through my witchcraft books. I found this name and it just stuck in my head. But is has a dark meaning to it though, so beware if you pick this name. | Nelly | ||
| BRB | More text talk. | NICKI | ||
| Bread Of Affliction | A term that represents utter chaos and deceit. This name is dark and is driven by an even darker past. A childhood filled with violence and torture. Therefore the music produced would have to be quite the steady backbone for such a name. In common terms of explaination, the name means this. The father brings home the bread and afflicts pain upon the child. A great name for any lead singer who suffered from any sort of abuse at a young age, as I did. | BOA | ||
| Break the Broken | If it ain't broken, don't break it? Instead, break something that's broken? The band name leads to lots of strange questions. | RevengeFromMars YouTube | ||
| Breakfast Activities | My mother's best friend tells how she was taken to the movie "Breakfast At Tiffany's" as a child. She had been mishearing the title as "Breakfast Activities". She didn't get much out of the movie (at least back then), so she was disappointed and thought "Breakfast Activities" would have been an idea for a better movie. | D. Melody Dole, MD | ||
| The Breakfast Beers | This is dedicated to any and all college kids who have ever woken up from a hang over and went straight to the fridge for a breakfast beer! | Jessie | ||
| Breakfast of Chumps | Wheaties cereal is called the "breakfast of champs". This band would be the opposite of that. | RevengeFromMars YouTube | ||
| Breakfast Surreal | Like, Breakfast Surreal, man! XD I came up with this while eating Wheaties...I think this would be sooooo cool. | Natch | ||
| Breaking Beauty | I was playing guitar hero and had to come up with a name for my band just thought it was cool | maya | ||
| Breaking Glass or Broken Glass | I saw somebody smashing their window and someone said.That guy is breaking glass and i thought.Wow! what a great band name great for alternative,punk,or metal. | hardhitter85 | ||
| Breaking my Balls | Wordplay | Sarah D. | ||
| Breaking My Mom's Window | I love it. | Fred | ||
| Breaking Silence | Our drummer broke one of his drumsticks, and we were fighting on who should buy more. We all just stopped for a second, and it was completly silent. So I started thinking about it. I put the two together, and that was I came up with. | alex long | ||
| Breast Implant Baby | Referencing real band name "Silicone Baby", since breast implants are made of silicone, | JeReMy | ||
| Breasticles | I was on the bus one day when my friend said it would be a good band name... and imagine going to a concert and saying "i'll be back later, I'm going to go see the breasticles" The debut album could be "Mortified Parents" | Dweezil | ||
| Breeder Reactor | I was reading a physics textbook and I came across this term - apparently it's the part of a nuclear power plant where neutrons are generated (or something) | prosimian | ||
| Bremuda Mohawk | These are the names of two streets on a sign over I-696 in the Detroit area. | Iron Mike | ||
| Bridge Out Ahead | you can hang up flyers for this band and scare everybody on the road | mike | ||
| The Bright Chesterfield | I think my band's name is cool because a lot of people think it means a fluorescent couch. I came up with the name when my band was rehearsing. I never though of it, but half the people live in a town called Bright, and the other half live in a town called Chesterfield. I just put 2 and 2 together. | Amy Baggey | ||
| Bright Shadows | I just think of things that can never be or things that are there, but are the oppostie of what they should.. kinda confusing actually | KB | ||
| Brightest In The Box | There's a popular shirt that reads: "Not the brightest crayon in the box, are we?". I thought that it would be cool to mix it up. | whaleandladder | ||
| Brilliance Of It All | well i happened to be reading a calvin & hobbes comic and it was just there. just stood out as a really good band name | sarah | ||
| The Brilliant Green | Its cool because it makes you think of lasers! Well, maybe just me. | Mana | ||
| Bring Down The Skies | its the nMe of downloadable content for mass effect xbox game | kyle | ||
| Bringing Down The House | To bring down the house is a phrase meaning that your audience thoroughly enjoyed your performance. And they show their appreciation by enthusiastic cheering and usually long and loud thunderous applause. I think it could be a very good name for a rock band. I even made up a title for their first album and/or single, Rockin' To The Rafters. | Edward | ||
| Brink 2 Element | Brink means the end. The end to the fire | Sarah | ||
| Bris Kringle | Named for the Jewish Santa Claus | Regina Haniger | ||
| A Brisk Farewell | My friends and I were thinking of band names. Some said, "Farewell". We said it needs something else, and someone had that brisk drink (Lipton tea). So I said, "A Brisk Farewell". | Zach | ||
| The British Invasion | Taken obviously, from the phrase "British invasion" coined in the 1960s when suddenly a lot of British bands were being played on American radio and getting hits on the American pop charts. I think it would be good for a band that played a "new wave" style of music. If this isn't an actual band name already it should be. | Edward | ||
| British Sea Power | I is a real band name and the submitter obviously knew it. The name doesn't come from a power company, but a 19th Century book on war. | Correction | ||
| British Sea Power | I keep thinking it's a name for an electricity supplier and I don't think any saine person could think of a strange but cool name at the same time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | ****Jaqval^-^ | ||
| Bro/ken | hmm...I was on a website and on a little forum thingy somebody's screen name was "Bro/ken" and I thought it was very kewl that they broke up the letters like that...it was cute. And I think the type of band it'd be is probly like a punk/metal band and yeah... | HappyBeingNo1 | ||
| Broadband Chatter | Well, me and a friend were in the car...and we were trying to find something on the radio, but it wasn't working out, and I was like "Why is there only broadband chatter"....and it just kinda sounded cool.... | Melissa | ||
| Broadside Affront | As in the phrase, "A broadside affront to our sensibilities." Good name for a brash young punk band with real in -your-face style. | Surfer Beto | ||
| The Brogues | It woul be a good name 4 a irish punk band like floggin molly or dropkick murphys. They all have brogues! And it sounds like "pogues" the most famous irish old shcool punk band. | DaN | ||
| Broken Bottles | I don't know, it sounds amazing and it can hold a meaning to some bands depending on their taste im music. | bryan | ||
| Broken Child | Splatter goregrind band I used to be in. I came up with the name because I got so sick of hearing my sister play her Destiny's Child CD so much on her stereo. She plays it so much that it sounds like a broken record. So that's how Broken Child came about. | Lord Worm | ||
| Broken Daydreams and Sweet Nightmaress | This means alot to me because the daydreams burn as I know they won't come true. The nightmares are already a sweet reality that only makes you wanna do it all over again. | Karlie | ||
| Broken Disaster | I was just sitting here thinking of how it would be to be a disaster and to be broken at the same time. I don't know. Maybe I'm just weird. | Jessica | ||

| Broken Fonts | A cool name for a folk rock or British group. It's the computer version of the popular phrase "Broken English". Fonts are the styles of letters on an e-mail or word processor. A font is also a large bowl used for Baptising infants in the Catholic Church. | peace out | ||
| Broken Furbies | Have you ever heard a broken Furby? Furbies are obnoxious enough as it is. When I was like, 8 my Furby broke and it sounded like it was underwater, and it studdered very badly. Poor Furby. I loved him so dearly. But its fun to call people broken furbies when they are annoying, they look at you quite strangly. | Catherine | ||
| Broken G String | This is my friend's garage band. They came up with the name when one of them broke their guitar's "G" string and just blurted out "I broke my G string!" | Mr. E | ||
| Broken Girraffes | Our art class has to do this project where we make up our own band, and this is what my brilliant friend came up with. Probably one of my favorites. | nicoleee R | ||
| Broken Headlights | This came up after my neighbor ran over his cat and he blamed it on his "broken headlight". That same day we made our band and bam here it is(unfortunately none of our recrds have sold. Maybe because I am the bus driver they always seem pretty shaken up when we get werever we are going I wonder...) | Norton Skiskosky | ||

It's cool because it's sorta rock/goth. | Mimi | ||

| Bronceada | The Spanish word for bronze or tan, it would be a cool name for a Latin-American group; it just rolls off the tongue. I was looking for Spanish translations of "The Girl from Ipanema" and this word was in one of them. | mimsie | ||
