Names -> Cool Band Names -> D, 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.

| The Deceptive Nectarines | Well, it's kinda from when you go to eat a nectarine and it looks nice and soft and you bite into it and actully it's really hard and hurts your teeth. And it sounds cool. | BigCheese | ||
| Decibelligerents | Perfect for any screamo group. Could work for punk bands as well. | RevengeFromMars YouTube | ||
| Decible | It just sounds sort'a cool. It's the measurement for sound, right? | steve | ||
| The Deciders | Reference to George W Bush....Who said "I'm the Decider". | Mike Lydic | ||
| Deco*rated | It seems to be more dark sound. It's a song of crazy town's album "Darkhorse". | anup shakya | ||
| Deep Blue Key | I think it fits for a band with lots of piano music in it. Also a pun on deep blue sea. | Harlow | ||
| Deep Breath | One day when we were rehearsing, we were so annoyed because we can't get the piece of one acoustic song. So we thought to take a deep breath and decided to make it as our band name. | Juneil | ||
| Deep Chowder | From an episode of 'Murder, She Wrote'. Jessica Fletcher asks a friend of hers to hide a couple of young fugitives. He testily responds,"Jess, do you realize what kind of deep chowder I'll be in if I got caught aiding and abetting?" I couldn't help but smile, since I'd never heard anyone use that particular stand-in for "deep s---" before. | Jonathan S. | ||
| Deep Fried Happy Mice | it was on a website my english teacher gave us and i thought it would make a great name for a piss-takers band. | Lucy | ||
| Deep Inside of Nothing | Because this was the name of our band but we have now changed it! We chose it by putting little pieces of paper in a box with random words on and this is what came out! | Asphyxiated | ||
| Deep Pink | I saw 'Nashville P***y' in concert and it reminded me of the name. Especially when i was right in front of the stage looking up! I originally got it from a fellow musician. | r. garcia | ||
| The Deep Red Band | I made up this band with cartoon characters from TV shows and we needed a name. There was Deep Purple and Deep Blue Something, so why not Deep Red. At one time, it was known as the Deep Red Blues Band. | Paul Warren | ||
| Deep Veins | I had to get my blood drawn and the nurse had to keep poking my arm and said "Man, you have some deep veins" | Mick | ||
| Deer In The Headlights | It would describe a band just starting out and having that "deer in the headlights" look. | Joe Lukewarm | ||
| DeEvolution | Well this just sounds insanely hardcore for a band name | ty fighter | ||
| Def Bac | It just sounds cool. A friend and I were going to start a band, and we were trying to thing of a name. We were in school at the time, and I looked down at one of my tests that I got back (I got a 100). The last six answers spelled 'DefBac'. We thought that it was amazing, but we decided to go with a different name. | Ricky | ||
| Defeating KwaZulu | Ummm, i like zulus and theres a state in south africa called kwazulu natal, and the english beat the zulus in war, so the end was near! | Bill | ||
| Defecating On Society | What a great name for a Punk band! My friend used to always say, "Man I've gotta defecate." And, well, I hate today's society so I figured why not defecate on it. | KT | ||
| The Defecators | Couldn't resist. I have a warped mind. | Woody Thomas | ||
| Defective | My friends who started this band was really intrigued with the idea of coming out and yelling, "Hey everybody, we-are-Defective!!" And if they happened to have any kind of incidents with any of the equipment they would have an excuse. | Xammy | ||
| The Defective Theologist Imitators | That's what me and my friends did to "Collins Shorter Dictionary" while playing a sort of a word association game. It went kinda like this: Collins- call- phone- phoney- imitator; Shorter- shortage- deficiency- defective; Dictionary- book- Bible- theologist... Some rearrangement, and voila! A possible name for some metal band! | Lulabel | ||
| The Defenestration of Prague | History term!! Defenestration means to throw somone or something out the window. In 1618, Protestant revolters threw two Catholic officials out a window. They were saved by landing in a pile of horse crap. My History teacher actually will say, "Oh, this sounds like a (punk/pop/death metal/etc.) band's name!about history terms" all the time. We all agreed with him that this sounded like a hard core punkish band. My band was going to use it; but on myspace, there is a band with this name. Otherwise, I would say go for it. | LizO | ||
| Defiance | This sounds like either a metal band or a punk band name, mostly punk because thats what punk rockers supposedly do...defy! | Maximus | ||
| Defiant Bonds | I got it from a USA Today sports headline for a story about Barry Bonds, who's been accused for taking steroids on his quest for Hank Aaron's home run record. He is defiant that he's never taken any. Nevertheless, a grand slam band name. | sports | ||
| The Defibrillators | Always thought this would be a cool band name. I would guess there is at least one band with this name out there somewhere. | Woody Thomas | ||
| Defining Definition | It's like finding another word for synonym | AwesomeCasper | ||
| Definitely Charlie Babbit | Heard this was a band somewhere in Chicago in the mid 90's. Love the name. From Rain Man of course. | Mr. Tinkles | ||
| Deflated Ham | One day, while discusing the giant inflatable ham I had made.... | Rae | ||
| Deformation | It'd be for those whom listen to punk/rock, alternative and metal, cause we're all a deformation from perfect, and how they want us to be. | The Wonderous | ||
| The Deformed Chicken Nuggets | Well, for cafeteria lunch today, it was chicken nuggets. My enemy Samantha gave me a nugget, and I said, "Hey! You only gave me that chicken nugget because it was deformed!" | QueenOrangeSoda | ||
| Deformed Spongebobs | I Love The Name Dead Kennedys So I Made A DK Type name. Adjective, Deformed, Noun of a silly person, spongebob. BTW plural of spongebob sounds funny | Some Guy | ||
| Defro | It'slike, "DEF", as in can't hear, and it suggests "DEATH ROW". | kearnage | ||
| Degenerated Fire Water | A combo of Degenerate, a Blink 182 song and Fire Water Burn, a Bloodhound Gang song. It sounds like something out of a sci fi movie. | Razorblade !6 | ||
| Degenerated Fire Water | Something that just popped into my head. Sounds like an Offspring-type band. | Kixxy 6 | ||
| The Degeniritz | It a play on the word "Degenerates"! | MAttHEw | ||
| The Degrassi Dropouts | As a tribute to any former cast member of Degrassi Jr/Sr High or Degrassi :TNG who sang or was with a band during their time on the series. Kevin Smith (who has appeared as himself on many episode of the latter) would be prud. | Canadian | ||
| Dejavoodu | Its the ultimate combination of two criptic and mysterious things known to man! | Tongan | ||
| Delicious Fire | Don't ask! | G | ||
| Deliver Us From Invisible Men | It's an inside joke between one of my friends and I. Basically there's this prayer we made up, and the last line is "Lead us into nightmares, and deliver us from invisible men." | LordBlumiere | ||
| The Deliverance | ever heard of the movie? | eric | ||
| Delo Melody | It sounds nice and has a good ring to it. | Aimee Collett | ||
| Delta 32 | It's actually a shortened name for a DNA mutation that gives you a natural immunity to AIDS... ya, I have no life... DNA mutations make cool band names. | Elle | ||
| Demand Destruction | Some economists say that if gasoline prices hit $3.50-$4.00 per gallon, oil consumption in the US will decline sharply. I'm not sure if I agree with that, but the term they use for that concept is way cool. And, it has a great double meaning: either the economists' concept or as a call to incite devastation. | Ex-East Sider | ||
| Demented avengers | A cool lyric from Pink Floyd's "Animals". I was listening to it when I came across this part of the site.. | Russell | ||
| Demented Half Spring | I broke open a mechanical pencil once and took out all the pieces. There was a spring, which I promply launched, and then broke in half. I said, "Hey, look at my demented half spring". My friend said "That sounds like a gymnastics move". I said, (everyone?!) "Or a freakin' sweet band!" | J-Rod | ||
| Demisemiquaver | A musical term for a 30-second note. Not a good idea to sing it, though it would fit a Queen-type or ELO-type rock band. | Opie M. | ||
| Democracy in Argentina | Some names just sound damn good. | johnny | ||
| Demolition | good for a heavy metal band name. | Scott Hess | ||
| Demolition Cat | For a non-existent band (as amiright is now telling us), it was pretty clever to get an artist summary on amiright and seduce some unsuspecting posters into forming "combined groups" entries with it. There is an eerie sort of "coolness" to that. Happy Halloween! | Gretchen Wieners | ||
| Demolition Men | "Demolition Man" is a hit by The Police. It was later covered by Grace Jones and even Sting himself. A classic sci-fi thriller with that name starring Sylvester Stallone, Wesley Snipes and Sandra Bullock came out in the autumn of 1993. So on top of all this, the name "Demolition Men" seemed like a cool name for a band. It has a sci-fi air of mystique to it. | Violator of the Verbal Morality Act | ||
| Demon Spunk | Demon Spunk, heavy name for a heavy rock band. Could be taken either as the bastard children of a demonic creature or a sort of drink no one wants to taste. | Tri | ||
| Demonic Bunny Hood | 'Legend of Zelda' mixed with 'Hoodwinked' = Pure comedy gold. A parody band, kinda like Wierd Al. | Buru-kun | ||
| Demonic Demise | I'm always bored, and write poetry a lot (and Im emo, YAY ME) sooooo, it was a random idea that sounded cool... If you dont like it, then BITE ME. | EmO-pRiNcEsS (LOL im Hannah) | ||
| Demonic Expulsion | It means to drive out Demons. I think it would be an awesome band if your looking for a Hardcore Christian Metal band. | Christopher | ||
| The Demonic Interlude | You could play really loud, then change your tone to really low fairy music and freak people out. | Shaodin Elf | ||
| The Demonic Orange Whiskey Hounds | Random! | G | ||
| DemonStrayShun | Here is a DEMON who will make you STRAY from people who will SHUN you for your contribution in individuality and equal rights. | Cookie | ||
| Denied Caution | Making a sk8 ramp and then it satrted on fire because we accidently spilled WD 40 on it and then i looked at the bottle and it showed caution, and then i said That was "Denied", put them together, Denied Caution | Taylor | ||
| Denier | I was writing a story that took place in Denver. A character in the story says, "Did he live in Denver?" A friend who was reading it couldn't read my handwriting and thought it said, "Did he like in Denier?" | joan | ||
| The Dented Mic's | I was playin with a microphone one day and I dropped and dented it. At least it still works. | Curtis | ||
| Deodorant Jack and the Clean Shower Tiles | Just spewing some band names in a store one night and I glanced into the cleaning product section. We all laughed. | Roger Clemente | ||
| The Department of Redundancy Department. | If you know what redundancy is then you will get it. I thought It was clever. | Paul Petersen | ||

| Der Hass | Not to be confused w/ der has which means the House, Der Hass means The Hate in German, Great for metal and Rock bands | Stobes | ||
| Dereks Don't Run | Catch phrase uttered by Peter Jackson in the cult movie Bad Taste. ("I'm a Derek and Dereks don't run!") | Harerabiez | ||
| Derision Quest | The opposite of "vision quest", apparently. Maybe for a band that is a glutton for punishment. | RevengeFromMars YouTube | ||
| Derpy Biscuit | It is a friends Xbox gamer tag and I have no idea what it means... | G | ||

| DeSade | Pronounces Duh Sod (DeSade) named after the kinky french guy Marquis DeSade. sounds like a good metal name | drumer88 | ||
| Designated Johnny | We named our band after this guy Johnny at a music store when he insulted our music, then tried to be nice saying "If you come back, I'll be your Designated Johnny." | Joel | ||
| Desk 28 | me and my friend were sittin and class tryin to think up band names and we looked at a desk and it had a sticker on it that had 28 on it. | wmhspunkrocker182 | ||
| Desolate Wasteland | I think it sounds kind of cool, especially for a band with a unique style. Desolate Wasteland is a place for being alone, and if you're unique, you're alone from a certain perspective. | Some Random Kid | ||
| The Desolatorz | Its a cool and agressive name. I've got it from Red Alert. The Iraqi desolators are one of de most powerfull walking creatures | Cyberdoug | ||

| Destined for the Cutout Bins | Almost our name, but we figured why curse us prematurely - we certainly wouldn't need any help getting our records there! | gadriel | ||
| Destiny Nothing? | Would be a cool name for a punk band or something like that, it has that " I don't give a shit ring to it." | Ddubber | ||
| Destiny's Stepchild | Probably a good name for a Destiny's Child cover band. | RevengeFromMars YouTube | ||

| Devil Doom on Toast | Sometimes, when I name off a bunch of bad stuff, IHaveNoBrain will finish it off by saying "on toast!". So I started with the final boss from Shadow the Hedgehog here. | something clever | ||
| The Devil Drinks Grape Juice | Because I really hate grape juice. | G | ||
| Devil In A Blue Dress | It is the name of a cool movie. Plus it is cool because it is weird, why would a devil wear a blue dress or does represent a girl? | Scout | ||
| Devil In A Blue Dress (Note To Scout) | This may have been a movie title, but it was first the name of one of the best and most high energy songs to come out of the 60's.
