Names -> Cool Band Names -> D, 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: | ||
| Dorks On Speed | It's a zany videogame quote. In some game I won't bother mentioning, there's one scene where this girl tries to work with an old computer, and wonders what the hell DOS means. Thusly, "Dorks On Speed". This guy on some site that archives zany videogame quotes said it would make a kickass band name. | H Hog | ||
| Dorkus Dama | It's alliterated and nonsense but it's good for a band! | Misha | ||
| The Dot Com Drunkies | A bunch of drunks who know everything about computers. "C+++ Whiskey" and "I'll take a Budwieser and a Monitor" are there first singles. | Junior | ||
| The Dot Commies | both 60s and 90s at the same time (like Austin Powers). But it's probably already been taken... | Andrew | ||
| Dothe | It sounds like a goth band and my band's first CD was supposed to be called "Downfall of the Human Empire". I came up with the Dothe XII tour; but we were a A7X kind of band, so I just got rid of it all. | Tyler Hier | ||
| Double Buckwheat | It's scary. A character invented by the author Joe R Landsdale Really Cool! | Rignard | ||
| The Double D's | Every man's dream would be to see this girl band live and hootered. | BadKarma Chameleon | ||
| Double Helix | I was in class and we were talking about genetics and I relized that the double helix would make a cool band name because you have all the parts of the band and all the parts of the double helix structure, It's sort of symbolic. | Ransom | ||
| Double Hockey Sticks | It's from the old euphemism for "hell": H-E-double hockey sticks. (The "hockey sticks" referring to the "L"s.) | Brian Kelly | ||
| Double Knot | I was at school and I needed to loosen my shoe. It was tied in a double knot and I was like "this is such a stupid double knot" and I thought it was cool. the first song on the album would be 'all tied up'. | abdu | ||
| Double Negatives | I thought everyone's so filled with negative waves so if we top negativity off with more negativity we'll get positive waves. | Me | ||
| Double Or Nothing | Because we have two of everything the bass evens out and the drums do to the snairs hit perfect so it gives it a double effect!!!! | Lance | ||
| Double Sprite | I got the idea for this name at a Turkey Hill convenience store in Amherst, Massachusetts in September 2007. At the fountain drink area, I got a Sprite and decided to put extra lemon and extra lime at the flavor station. It was delicious. I called it a "Double Sprite". Now in May 2012, I get the idea to send it in for Amiright.com Cool Band Names. | JeReMy | ||
| double take | me and my mother were really bored so we started thinking of names we would call our band if we had one. I thought of `` double take `` and we both thought it was really cool. | triple | ||
| Double-You | It is just pretty cool. It's all like "W" spelled out. Rock on, my peeps. | Mr. Big | ||
| Doublewide Envy | A guy I worked with - Paul V - came up with this name - it refers to people living in trailer homes who are jealous of those who own a "doublewide". | Jeff W | ||
| DoubleXers | Pronounce it ; Dou-bull EX Tarz It just sounds cool. | ZeeDiKay | ||
| Douche Baguette | Without the space, it's a term for a female douchebag. With the space, it's a combination of feminine cleaning product and a kind of bread. | JeReMy | ||
| The Douchebags | Douchebag(s) are FRIENDS who prank their friends. get it? I got that from Ryan Dunn. I watch his show, Homewrecker. Because my bandmates and I play pranks on each other. So we decided to name our band, The Douchebags. | dumped | ||
| Douchemarks For Dollars | A play on a line from Tina Turner's song "Private Dancer". Of course she's singing, "Deutschmarks or dollars". The Deutschmark was once the German monetary unit before Euros. | MOR | ||
| Douché | It's a portmanteau of "douche" and "touché" (Editor's note: No doubt someone's actually pronounced it that way.) | JeReMy | ||
| Doughnut Shaped Universe | This was a theory Homer Simpson proposed to Stephen Hawkings over a couple beers at Moe's. | Peter, Simon, and Toy | ||
| Dovelock | A sea bird, Dovekie, sounds essentially like "dove key", and its name is easily mistaken for that that. Since a dove key would be what opens dove locks, this name came to mind as a result. | Toni Minot | ||
| Dow Jones and the Industrials | The news always reports on the Dow Jones Industrial. No one really knows why they call it the Dow Jones, but it sounds like a legit name. And The Industrials would be a great name for a back up band. | Chris | ||
| Down 109 | I got the idea from Blink 182 i think it sounds cool | Brian isbister | ||
| Down The Hall And To The Left | Its the most popular answer I get when I ask where some thing is in a building. | Some people call me Maaauurice | ||

| Down With Despair | I came up with this and almost named my one-man-band this. I have the Youtube handle reserved. But I'm not going to use it. Great for a darker / heavier band with sour lyrics. | dumb | ||
| DownFall | I think this name is sweet becaue it's like someone's end or the end of the world as we know it. | system of a down kicks A$$ | ||
| Downpour | Pandora | |||
| Downtown Cats | Because I think it would be a great name for women who liked the Boomtown Rats and want to impersanate them. Wouldn't it be weired if there was a chick who looked like Bob Geldof????? Spooky thought isn't it?????? | Mondo Bongo | ||
| Downtown In December | Downtown is so beautiful where I live in the winter. The snow and all the sparkly lights. What can I say, I'm a girl. | Deeds | ||
| Downtown Sasquatch | My sister came up with it. | Michael Mattingly | ||
| Downward Spiral | My friends and I were thinking of names for our band and we hit upon Downward Spiral. The next day I went to a record store and I find out it's a Nine Inch Nails album. I love NIN, but my friends don't, so we had to pass it up. This would be a great name for (obviously) a NIN tribute band, a depressed rock group, or even a girl group! | mo | ||
| Dr. Glove | KInda like mr. hand job except less obvious | Ariella | ||
| Dr. Graffiti and The Men's Room | Simon and Garfunkel got it wrong in their classic song "The Sounds of Silence" - the words of the prophets are not written only on the subway walls.....check out any men's room..... | Johnny D | ||

| Dr. Pooper | The first laxative soft drink. It feels so good going down (to paraphrase an old Seven-Up commercial.) | Lance Crackers | ||
| Dr. Wagner Jr. | 90% of Mexican Wrestlers, or Luchadors, have names that would be totally sweet for rock groups. I choose Dr. Wagner Jr., the mad doctor of the CMLL. | Chris Awesome | ||
| Draco Daemon | A good stage name for someone in a metal band. | Rachel | ||
| Dracula's Daughter | I borrowed it from an old horror movie. This would be a great name for a goth/emo band. If you like that kind of music. | Edward | ||
| Drag Kings | Well its not drag queens so you are not gay or anything. It's different and it's just a pretty cool name for a band. | Nosnhoj | ||
| DRAGGINZ FYRE | i was trying to think of a name for my band and this what i came up with...i had just seen Styx and was playing around with words spelled with a Y. Coincidentally if you mis-spell STYX you could name your band XYST (exist) | mutheatreq | ||
| Dragon Blood | I just thought it would be cool to have or you could use raining bat blood | T-PRENDY | ||
| Dragonfly | Why hasn't some folk-rock thought of this? | Donovan | ||
| DragonWindow | I combined window, which is a word that I like, with dragon. Dragons are cool | nvvihg | ||
| Drain Bamage | just reverse the b and the d and you get brain damage, cool huh? | Chris | ||
| Drain The Bloom | two nirvana songs combined....need i say more? | indeed | ||
| Drape Effect | I like it cause it's different and it sort of reflects on someone who isn't being open with others or w/e. I dont know it has alot of meaning to me. Well my friend liked the word Drape and I thought of it as a 'cover up' and then effect was it 'happening' or taking place. Really hard to explain. | PiNK LadiE | ||
| Drayage Charge | A drayage charge is another term for a delivery charge or a charge levied for use of a cart (or drayer). Think about all that equipment a group has to carry to venues around the world. Not a pretty sight. | hummer | ||
| Dread Pirate Rockers | From a character in the movie "The Princess Bride", Dread Pirate Roberts. | RevengeFromMars YouTube | ||
| Dread Pram | If you don't know, pram is short for perambulator, a primarily-British term for a baby carriage. There's something goth about those old-timey baby carriages. | Peter, Simon, and Toy | ||
| Dreadbolt Lock | An infusion of "dreadlock" and "deadbolt lock." Possibly good for a band with dreadlocked band members | Door into Summer | ||
| Dream Theater | "Dream Theater" is the best description for the kind of music they make, it just fits perfectly. Adds a lot of mystery. The depth of their playing and writing really makes you think of some ancient theater show. Plus, they are musicians you can dream of! | ttphone | ||
| Dreams Frozen Solid | Sorry, people. This one's not up for grabs. It's my band but since it's such a rad name for a Punk/ Emo band, I thought I'd put it on here. Every time I've tried to do something (well almost every time) I've messed up. All my dreams have been frozen. Get it? Dreams Frozen Solid. | Matt | ||
| Drenched Ethel | I thought of a lonely lady in a full length leather jacket coming out of a bar late at night , very drunk and thinking of a lost love as a storm began to envelope her. | erik walker | ||
| Dress Code Violation | I was in the hallway at school and my principal started yelling "Dress Code Violation" like a psycho...good times, good times | Sara | ||

| Dribble Cup | I think dribble cup is a funny word for some reason...this would be a great band name! | Lori Blonde | ||
| Dried Snot | I heard somewhere on the radio that this was what an R & B artist's former girlfriend said he smelled like. The jock was puzzled; he asked, "What does dried snot smell like?!!" | newave | ||
| Drink Toilet Water | It would make a great name for a pop/punk band. It was my nickname in fourth grade--some really mean queen bee named Ilona nicknamed me it because my last name (Bevilacqua) means "drink water" in Italian, and my first name shortened would be "loo", which means toilet water. So, there you have it! Drink Toilet Water! | QueenOrangeSoda | ||
| Drinker The Dinosaur | There actually is a dinosaur named "Drinker", with its uncharacteristic dinosaur name. Its name comes from the middle name of paleontologist Edward Drinker Cope | D. Melody Dole, MD | ||
| A Drinking Man's Sex Symbol | A play on the phrase "A Thinking Man's Sex Symbol", starring a band whose members all dated overweight or ugly people. | less | ||
| Drive by Punch | It's the name of a local band and I can just picture these guys leaning out a car window doing a drive by...punch (hehe)--that'd be a funny album cover. | kasuald0rk | ||
| The Drive Home | i was on a drive home thinking about stuff and thought of it. used it for my band for a week or two but then they decided they wanted something else. so i came up with flatline. other good ones would be Fallout, The Weak, and Something More Strange | Flatline | ||
| Drive So Far Away | I was listening to Blue October and this came up. I thought it might be a cool name. | Travis | ||
| Driving Inferno | It's hot because it brings to mind a raging fire or complex sounds that intermesh into a force that destroys and tears down the old to make way for new life. | JW | ||
| Driving Jones From Janice | I dreamed I was in a rock bank. I sucked a playing the guitar but this was the name of the band I was in. It sounds kinda cool. | Scoop | ||
| Driving Kno-how | Well I am not old enough to drive but I have enogh "Kno-how" to do it. Althogh thats sounds lame for a band..pretty cool! | Minty | ||
| Dro-Gun | Saw it written in a textbook. Cool name for a rap group. | Snipe | ||
| The Droogs | If you've seen Stanley Kubrick's: "A Clockwork Orange," this name speaks volumes to you. But if not, its Russian for "friends." Burgess uses a lot of Russian+slang in the book, possible alternative would be "Droogies," many people would misinterpret this as meaning "drugs." Oh well! ...people! | Goodolarchie | ||
| The Drop Pockets | It's a joke my friends and I play on people. When someone passes by, you say "You dropped your pocket!" And they turn around and look. It's hilarious. How the heck can you drop your pocket? | rachel | ||
| Drop the Y | Well. I has two meanings. 1) is that don't ask any questions and 2) like when you are making something plural, drop the Y. We will probaly use it for our band. | punkrokr0578 | ||
| Drop Your Weapon | It came to me while thinking of nonsense. (as I usually do) I thought, hey, it could make a good band name. | Shido | ||
| Dropdead Twice | What my mother-in-law said to my father-in-law before they broke up. Sounds punk to me | Ted | ||
| Dropping The Soap | Inside joke with a few friends from school. Way too explicit for me to explain the meeting... | Junior | ||
| Drop~Down | I think the band name Drop~Down is really cool, but I don' really know why. It reminds me of dropping dead, though. I was trying to think of a band name for my band and randomly looked through a computer manual (don't ask me why). I found this and we used it. *Please don't steal it.* | Crawford | ||
| Drosophila | One of my first internet nicknames was drosophila. Few people actually knew it is the scientific name for 'fruit fly'. I was asked frequenly if I had a band and where I came up with the name drosophila. | Mercy | ||
| Drowning Lesson | It just sounds like one of those cool punk bands that your friends talk about and you just want to hear them. | lu lu | ||
| The Drowning Trouts | its a semi oxymoron and i was hyper when i thought of it...pretty cool, eh? | DREW | ||
| Drug Store Thieves | When addicts attack, old people beware! Thanks to our sponsors, CVS, Walgreens, and Pharmor. http://www.DSTrocks.com | Sam | ||

| Drugstore Masiah | Symbolizes the pharmacist's occupation due to the fact you can get some kick in drugs by prescription! | billy | ||
| Druncle Bud | I have a uncle thats name is Bud and he is a drunk that spends at least 40 hours a week in a bar so thats what we call him. | matt | ||
| The Drunk Math Teachers | This would be a good band name for a band that is made of math teachers. If that is possible. | Ryan C. | ||
| Drunken Earth Abortion Texture Hope | Taken from a band name generator based of the acronym "DEATH" | JeReMy | ||
| The Drunken Fish | I thought this name might be cool cause maybe you would be in a punk rock band. The symbol of this band would be the Christian fish with X's on his eyes and vomit near where his mouth would be. | Mr. T | ||
| The Drunken Nuns | I was trying to think of a name for my own band, and this one somehow popped into my head. I think it would be a great name for a "rockabilly" all girl band. | Hailey | ||
| Drunken Six | When I was doing a math problem once, I drew a number six rather sloppily, and one of my parents commented that it looked 'drunk.' I thought that would make a great name for a band. | Larcen Tyler | ||
| Dry Chemicals | We were naming random made up band names at lunch time one day. I looked at the fire hydrant and it said, "Danger: Dry Chemicals". I thought it was a cool Punk/Rock name. | Liam (The guy in the bright orange jacket) | ||
| Dry Forks | Dry Forks is a city name in Alabama. | Drey | ||
| Dry Ice | I thought it was cool because ice is made of water, so it's not dry. But also the actual dry ice chemically stuff makes a fog, so that's pretty cool. I think the band I'm in now is going to use it. | Gracie W | ||
| DryWall | Just looking around the room and thought it up..... I think it's pretty tight. | John Foster | ||
| DSFA | "DSFA, what does it stand for?" "It doesn't stand for anything" haha, DSFA, it literally Doesn't Stand For Anything | Andy B | ||
| Duc Tayped Zombies | Me and some people were hanging out and I had a shirt on that said "Duck Tape" with a duck taped to a wall, and I also had the RPG game "Zombies" with me. I combined the two, and changed the spelling of Duck Tape because of copyright issues. | Thunderbolt | ||
| Duck Butter | It sounds lurid and of course, it is. It's southern slang for smegma. Although that in and of itself is gross, it kind of has a sexy ring to it. | tim healy | ||
| Duck Hunt | The title of one of the first games released for the NES. They could do hard rock remixes of old Nintendo games, much like the Minibosses. | Olvan The Terrible | ||
| Duck Tape | It was the name that Blink 182 originally used when they FIRST started out. Nobody knew them back then, they were just another high-school band. Later they changed their name to Figure 8. That ones a good name as well! | Calista |
