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.

Critical Goats | I was watching this animal rescue show, indulging my nerdiness, and there were 4 baby goats being operated on after being attacked by dogs. A nurse referred to them as "critical goats." I thought "Critical Stoats" might work just as well. Still on the fence with that one... | boobarella | ||
Croatoan | The word that was carved into a tree at Roanoke. Would be pretty cool for a metal or indie band | Sarah | ||

The Croutons | It's cool because it's as underrated and as unnoticed as the spleen in our body system. LOL. | Napoleon | ||
The Crowing Fishes | Just as jokes are made like "I've seen a house fly" and "I've seen a board walk", bird enthusiasts have been know to add to such quips "I've heard a fish crow". That comes from the fact that "Fish Crow"is the name of an actual species of crow. Hearing a Fish Crow is often crucial to identifying it, as it has distinct calls but looks almost identical to some other crow species, especially the widespread species called "American Crow" (NOT the only American species of crow). | D. Melody Dole, MD | ||
Crowley's Dead | After the weird cult figure Alistair Crowley who committed suicide. weird bloke. cool name. | harry | ||

It is simply brimming with industrial darkness and possibility! Though it can be a bit smelly. Hey, what great band isn't all of these things? | Skot | ||
Cunning Lingus-The Cunning Sound of Lingus | Cunning Lingus! Need I say more? Years ago, a friend asked me to create some tickets for a show that he and his band were hosting. He said the name of their band this time was Lingus. I mirthfully suggested that they could marquee it as "The Cunning Sound of Lingus". He was not amused, but I certainly was! | SamIam | ||

Cure For Apathy | A band that no one seemed to show interest in. | Chelsie | ||
The Cure For Hypersomnia | I came up with this band name because when my buddy and I were labeling our religous school folders; he called his "The Cure For Insomnia" because it was so boring, it would put you to sleep.

Curry, Curry, Curry | It started out as me and me mates shouting it out in the middle of the park for some reason. It could be a Middle Eastern band, and their first single would be called 'Chicken Tikka'. Also their would be a dancing curry on stage. | Bob the magic Hobo | ||

Curtis Parody | On YouTube, Curtis Paradis (said "parody") is a guy who posts videos about recent events (usually involving new Apple products or Sims 3 expansion packs). So I figured, since his name is similar to "parody" why not make this a band name. | JeReMy | ||
Curve Of The Earth | Saw a TV ad...it showed the Earth from outter space...The Curve of the Earth! Plus it flows off the tongue and to SEE the curve of the Earth you have to be "Above it All" which sound like the bands first CD!: | Chris McConnell |
