Names -> Cool Band Names -> C, 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.

Name		Origin		Submitted by:
Colin Mockery		As in Colin Mochrie, who used to be on Whose Line is it Anyway? (American and British version). I guess this could also be the collective name given to the jokes about his hair loss.		JeReMy
Collateral Damage		An old buzz line from the Desert Storm days. Sounds like a mosh/metal/punk band		Bob Gifford
The Colm Meanies		From the actor who plays Chief O'Brien on Star Trek TNG, Colm Meaney. I was thinking of "Blue Meanies" and natural progression brought me here.		ice_Max
Colonel Klink's Torment		A reference to Hogans Hero's		Billy Florio
Colonel Lingus		Isn't it obvious? Ripped it off an SNL skit where Christopher Walken plays a confederate colonel who is welcomed home to the plantation by three women. Wacky puns ensue.		matty V
Colonel Mustard and the Murder Weapons		The name of one of the characters from the board game CLUE, plus the infamous Murder Weapons (revolver, candlestick, rope, lead pipe, knife, etc)		Absinthetic
Colonel Mustard Gas		I have always been a fan of terms that are made by using the end of one term to begin the next term. In this case, I fused Colonel Mustard (from the board game "Clue") with Mustard Gas (a chemical weapon of war).		Hugh G. Rection
The Color of Fate				Mindgraffiti
The Color Purple		Purple, is my favorite color of the rainbow		Secret
ColorBlind		Because everyone in the band is from a different background, but we come together, making us "ColorBlind"		Zeke
Colorectal Calamity		When a friend of mine was telling me and a bunch of friends about a traumatic and disgusting medical condition over dinner, I told him that I didn't want to discuss his colorectal calamity over dinner. Someone said that would make a great band name; not only alliteration, but it will make the emcee chuckle.		Jess
Colorful Blindness		Well, I was actually trying to think of a cool band name, and oxymorons are always cool, so I used it.		DrofMot
Colorful Pushpins In The Right Buttcheek		not the left one cuz thats the lucky one!!		bobby joe
Colorless Rainbow		It stands for something, in a way, and it sounds alright		Holly
Colostomy Grab-Bag		Pretty self-explanitory, but you can't help but laugh when you think about it.		ThatOneNakedDude
Colostomy Overflow		It just sounds like one of those names that a punk band would use and everyone would say, " What the hell were you thinking?" if they ever made it big.		Chino
Comacozzi Creep		I think that people who go to kill themselves to kill other people are creepy. Thus the name come to mind!		Molly W.
The Comatones		This was one of the final 4 choices for my band name but alas, my creativity was overlooked. Its clever cos its a play on the word Comatose...see, our tones will make you Comatose or for the ignorant, put you into a coma. We have some real self esteem issues		Wondermike
Combustion Clinic		My current band, named for an actual establishment in my hometown of Chattanooga. We're in the post-production process for our first album, "Mothertruckers."		Star
Comic Mischief		When my friend and I wanted to start a band I thought of this because we both love comics and x-men		N/A
Comic Sans Section Sign		The section sign, which resembles a capital S with a circle in the middle, in Comic Sans font is the currency symbol in the popular video game The Sims. Later installments used different fonts.		JeReMy
Coming Soon...		Im a Christian musician and right now am away from my Jewel right now....told her I was "coming soon" to a town near her thought it would be great for my band once I get them all together.		ceo_kid101@hotmail.com
Commander K. K.		Well, it started out when I was playing Animal Crossing and listening to the funky music of K.K. Slider. Then, I learned of a project in Art class where we had to make plasticine art. I decided to make Commander Keen's (old old OLD computer game) Bean And Bacon MegaRocket, and the rest, as they say, was history. Sort of spacey mixed with funk, I should think.		Douglas Bucksworth aka D.B.
Common Cold		The name symbolizes that heartbreak is universal, and the album cover I made has a picture of a frozen heart.		Wolfpoet
Common Courtesans		Sounds like the phrase "common courtesy" but also like women who attractive but clearly not high-class.		RevengeFromMars YouTube
Common Knowledge		I was talking to a friend, and I told him a rumor. He said, 'Thats common knowledge', which I just though sounded cool for a name of a band!		Lead
Communist Cowboys		Cowboys represent the American Dream of expansionism and frontier justice, which is sort of the antithesis of Communism. An interesting juxtaposition! Yeah.		Alex Tonin
The Communist Stock Exchange		I thought it would be ironic to combine the Stock Exchange, an offspring of Capitalism, where people often loosely gamble excess of monetary income on the success of other capitalist corporations, with Communism, a socioeconomic system in which this 'exchange' would never exist. Am I dry enough?		Dave
Competition In Bed		Can you imagine... you finally get the girl of your dreams, you get her home and theirs a dude already there!		techthisout
The Complete Breakfast		I was eating breakfast one morning, and I was looking on the back of one of those cereal boxes and BAM. Band name.		Jack
Completely Gratuitous Images of P***ses		From the end of Monty Python's The Meaning of Life. Yes, all my band names come from that movie.		Chris
Completely Incomplete		From Lifehouse' song "Hanging by the moment"....Describes in its own oxymoronic fashion how strange language can be.		Taha
Completely Insane		Just because I would like, just once, to hear a band introduce themselves by saying "Ladies and gentlemen, we are Completely Insane".		IHaveNoBrain

tHE cOMPOUND kIDS		me and my friend were sitting on swings in a park onear our old school thinking of band names and they came up with this one		LOST...10

Concrete Beaches		We were messing around on in the city and came to a really long wide street, and just thought it was kind of like a concrete beach.		CJ
The Condiments		Everyone likes condiments! Ketchup, Mustard, Relish, Mayo, Salsa...		Beef
The Condylarths		A good exotic-sounding prehistoric animal name. Condylarths were mammals that lived about 66 million to 35 million years ago.		D. Melody Dole, MD
Confederate Women		I just like the image this one conjurs. Are they pretty or are they horrid to look at? Let the music speak for it.		Jake
Confidential Poetry		After all the poems in all the world that were never spoken or seen.		Mai
Conflict		Similar to War. If you studied history books, The Vietnam War was nver declared an actual 'war', but a 'conflict'. However, history books are usually wrong at some point.		Rich Poore
Conflicted Thought Processing		Trouble with thoughts!!		j-master
Conforming to Nonconformity		some dude on facethejury had on his list of turnoffs: "conforming to nonconformity"...i thought it would be a cool band name.		munkie
Confusement		It just sounds cool. Cos it's not a word - people look at it or hear it and think "That's not a word. That's confusing." Ingenious huh?		Rachel
Confusionrules		Because confusion, of course, does rule over all living life forms; and we have a cool website.		Sour Kreme
The Congenial Defects		Deformed but friendly.		WC Thomas
Connecting The Dots		Because its weird kinda cool		Mimimimi
Conniption		It's a cool way to say hissy fit.		Alex Smith
Conscientious Whore		Friends & I were talking about prostitutes and how if we were going to do that, we'd be like "Pretty Woman" and be really selective about who we took on as clients. Someone said, "Yeah, I think I'd be a really conscientious whore," and the name just sort of stuck with me.		GGarrett
Consciousness		I thought of this name as a band name when I saw this on a book. Consciousness is a quality of the mind generally regarded to comprise qualities such as subjectivity, self-awareness, sentience, sapience, and the ability to perceive the relationship between oneself and one's environment.		Jordan Marper
The Consequences		Every thing has a consequence. I was working on a story, and i was saying that you made a choice so now you have to suffer the consequence, so if i had a band name, that's what it would be called.		mars bars
Consequential Hobos		Everyone has consequences-- even hobos! He likes it! Hey Mikey!		Pigertaws
Conservation of Momentum		We are learning this in Physics class, and i thought is was a cool band name!		rego
Conservative Necktie		Was on a "memo" concerning dress, etc. for the band's performance at graduation. Now that I think of it, sounds like a New Wave tribute band (what with the skinny ties and all that).		Jill
Consider Therapy		We come up with it when our music teacher told us (the band) that we should consider therapy.		Ben
Conspiracy Of The Self		I think it's cool because of how dark it sounds. I came up with it when The Offspring's album name (Conspiracy Of One) popped into my head at moments. Hope ya like it! I now leave you, with Iron Maiden, Number Of The Beast! *starts to headbang*		Violated One
Construction Paper		A band played at my school once called Loose Leaf. All we could thing about was notebook paper. So we came up with a rival band name.		Johanna
Constructive Rukuz		This is a song from Zach De La Rocha, the ex-singer from R.A.T.M.		R!
Consumer Power Plant		It's from the billy Joel song 'No Man's Land". It's kinda like a metaphor for the comercializing of an Amercan small town, I guess.		Deathawk
Container Hat		i was very tired and trying to ask my mom where the lid for a tub of parmesan cheese was but my brain supplied "container hat"		dayna
Contemplating Impudence		just came when I was thinking about a new name for my band because our current one isn't very good		MaK
Contents May Vary		You always see it after adverts on T.V.		Llama of wisdom
Contrary Cage Theft		Random words.		Nina
Contrast		When we got the plasma TV my mom was sorting out the contrast and the screen went a load of colors and I thought it would be an ace band name.		Emmaaaaa.#
Control Room Assault		I love the Halo series and I noticed that a level in either Combat Evolved or Halo 2 had a level entitled "Assault on the Control Room," so I came up with "Control Room Assault."		Stephan
The Convicted Rejects		my friend mary and i thought of it...because most people go to jail and get "convicted" because they were "rejects" and broke the law		andrea norick
Convictions		I wanted to name the teen choir at my church this name. You'd have to be a Baptist to understand.		Libertarian
Coocluck's Clam		one day i was thinking of ways to make fun of the KKK...i have no idea why, i was bored i guess. and so when i came up with that i thought "hey that could be a cool name for a band" so umm....there u have it		chris

Cool Band Name		Yeah...		Ryan
Cool Cool Gajoob		A wordplay on the old Beatles tune "I Am The Walrus" (koo koo g'joob). Used in a sentence: "That was a cool cool gajoob you were playing.")		beegles
The Cool Doers		i was on the phone with my friend and she said u know we sure r 1 heck of cool doers we should becom singers!!		pamela
Cool Flat		It is simple and random, just like most band names. It came from a bad translation of a Japanese name (涼平),		Liz
Cool Kidz		If you want you could spell it Kwl Kidz!		Abi Rox
The Cool Night Coyotes		Coyotes are cool at night, and this would be perfect for a band		The Mole
Cool Shades		Sounds like a Hives-esque band... And they all wear shades.... COOL SHADES!		Santiago
The Coots		Since there are quite a few bird names for bands, including The Larks, The Sandpipers, The Flamingos, and The Eagles, here's another bird name I thought I'd suggest!		D. Melody Dole, MD
Copper Mouth		It's actually kinda sick but I know this one dude and his girlfriend asked him to eat her out while she was on the rag, so he did and he was like "This tastes like copper!" He had blood all over his face. so thus the name copper mouth...Gross I know!		Tara
Copper Plated		me and my guys in the band were thinking of names and theres always Gold plated and silver plated stuff.. hey whats wrong with COPPER PLATED		Cory Richard
Copyright Infringement		My friends were in a band called "Mystery Machine," but before they made their first CD they had to change it because it was already taken. I thought this would be an appropriate replacement name.		Will
Copyright ™		My band and I were trying to think up names for ourselves and we thought of Blink 180 but then some one said, "You know dude, that's too close to Blink 182." so we changed it to Copyright so no one could take our name and just for more security we added the ™.		Professor Sludgey Brains III, a.ka. Amanda
Coquette Duet		This band would need to have two hot female singers.		RevengeFromMars YouTube
Coral and the Reefers		it kind of has two meanings like a Coral Reef and it could also be like a girl named Coral and a bunch of stoners, my cousin Lana actually came up with it, i just thought it was pretty cool, my band thought it was funny but they didnt want to use it		Lauren (ren) Leigh
Coral Beings		It kinda sounds like 'cool beans'. I watch a lot of 'Spongebob Squarepants'. In 1 episode, Pearl said that cool is pronounced like coral, and that's how I came up with coral. Now for how I got beings. We're human beings.		Lauren
Cordless-Action-Controller		It's the controller that you can buy for Playstatons that are cordless so you can play from across the room..so cool sounding..		daf
The Cords		A chord can be played on a piano, giutar (pardon my spelling). The Cords sounds strange as it is a homophone (I think) of The Chords.		Mr. non-de-plume
Corigontes		Ancient Musicians from Greek History. They where driving crazy the crowd with their music. It's pronounced co-ree-gho-ntais. For those who're really interested naming their band like this, maybe there is a good idea to find out more info in ancient books library.		Greek
The Coriolis Effect		This is the name of an actual physical phenomenon which describes linear motion with respect to a rotating object. This is commonly used to explain that water spins in opposite directions in opposite hemispheres (though supposedly, that's a myth), but it can also be used to explain the apparently-curved trajectory of a ball thrown from a merry-go-round as well as global wind and water currents. Anyway, it might be a good name for a jazz band.		Raphael
Corn Avillo		There used to be a street near me called Corn Avil Road. My friend and I used to sing "Corn Avillo Road", using the tune of "Portobello Road". I just think it's a cool abstract name.		Posy
Corn Bizkit		Possibly a cover band of both bands (Korn & Limp Bizkit) or Fred Durst forming a band with members from each of the two bands. Plus if you take the two names togeher like in this case, it sounds like something I had with dinner.		buttnugget
Corn Starch		Well, this is the name of my band and how I came up with it. After I went to have a little meeting with my friends, I was so hungry. I went looking for food; and when I opened the cabinet, the first thing I saw was the corn starch.		quack
Cornball		This is what my brother in-law calls me and i thought it sounded like a cool band name.		T.J. Wolfe
Cornfed and The Hogs		From the animated series "Duckman". Cornfed was the porcine sidekick of detective Duckman, who lost his virginity to Duckman's wiseacre sister-in-law Bernice to prevent his death. Funny!		cartoon cartoon
CornGoneWrong		Actually I was reading a magazine, and it was in a Cornnuts ad. Thought it was funny.		John Wroblewski
Cornhole Bishops		Kind of a dichotomy here...cornhole (or asshole, which is filthy dirty) and bishops (which are supposed to be pristine and holy).		Mike Lydic
