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: | ||
FireCube | Thinking of unusual band names for a friend, I came up with this out of nowhere, maybe based on the latest console. | Jay_the_Wierd | ||
Fired Up! | Well I was just in my home cooking and when I tried to start up my oven it would'nt start up so I just yelled out, FIRE UP!!!!!!!!!! | Lanette | ||
Fireflies and Widows | It sounds like a magical night filled with little lights from fireflies, while the musicians strum their guitar like no one cares. | Gheurch | ||
Fireproof Hearts | I heard some country singer had a new CD out called Fireproof and it reminded me of a bluegrass song with this fine lyric: "I thought my heart was fireproof, but you burned your way inside." I think its cool name, but doesn't fit our new country-meets-rockabilly band. | cajunace | ||
Firewhore Plague | Long story: a group of my husband's friends had simultaneously discovered the joys of both blowing fire and dating strippers. Around the time they began doing both of these things, a mysterious virus swept through their numbers, as well as through the strippers and anyone who had any contact with all of the above. The virus involved a deep, hacking cough, tonnes of icky green mucus, and staying in bed for at least a week. None of us knew if the virus was caused by the stuff my husband's friends were using to blow fire, or from the strippers they were sleeping with, or a combination. All we knew is that we all caught the bug, whether we'd blown fire or dated strippers or not. Sick as a dog, and not having any idea what to call this rot, I nicknamed it "firewhore plague." The minute I did, we all decided that if any of us ever started a band, this would be a good name for it. | LadySphinx | ||
Firing Jane | My friend has a band called "Hiring Jane" and it made me kind of mad cause I wanted her to be in MY BAND, so I came up with a name for my own band, which would be FIRING JANE... but that's just mean, so someone else can have it.... another source of inspiration... I got fired! | Jane Lain | ||
Firmy Leeper | Just a name I found in someone's address book. There was no address with it, so I believe this person does not exist. But I've been wrong before. | The Late John Lennon | ||
First Glance | When most people hear a band name, they automatically think they are horrible. The moral of First Glance is to not judge a book by it's color. just a suggestion. Throwing ideas around trying to form a band. | Spenser Balog | ||
First Sun | When my band decided on this name... we knew it was great... we were always into the stone age stuff etc... medievil... so we decided first sun was good because the first sun was the first dawn of man.. the first dawn of dawn, the beginning of time, the end of something elses time. really deep meaning and simple. | Tommy | ||
The Fish | We were walking down the road to get some cigarettes from the shop. Now, we have to walk through a golf course to get to the local shop (i live in a very plush area). Then, WOW some water, and the fish were born. and i thought it was really, really deep and COOL MAN! What do you think? | Luke Warren | ||
Fishbinder Caucasian | Is this cool, I don't know... it was something I misheard once, I think from 'Fassbinder'. It just sounds good in a 4AD kind of way. If you like that sort of thing. | Arse of the Tiger | ||
The Fishguards and the Ripley Snells | (Yes, this is ONE band.) I think it would have to be sort of a cool country-tinged guitar band like Wilco or the Jayhawks. Got the name from Fitzgerald's _The Great Gatsby_, in a list of a whole bunch of snotty people who come to visit Gatsby. I like the rhythm of it. | Rachel Amiranth | ||
Fishin' In The Void | One day Quigg and the Elder Gods were fishin' in the void (back when they were just ancient, young whelps), when Quigg turned and said "Toss me a cold one." And it was good. | Peter, Simon, and Toy | ||
The Fishmonger Retrieval Unit | The idea of rogue Fishmongers roaming the streets at nights distributing Herring and Cod to unsuspecting passers-by amuses me. | MalcolmXInTheMiddle | ||
Fishnet Stalkings | You heard of a show called "Silk Stalkings"? Well, this is what happens when fisherman decide to partake in the act. If you don't get the joke, "stalkings" and "stockings" are homonyms, words that sound alike with different meanings. | new | ||
Fishwater | Inspired by my sister's remark about my fishtank. Might be a good name for a rock band. | Bobbette | ||
Fissure | It's a crack in the earth or something, it sounds wicked cool. | bob nutter | ||
Fist Blister | I was chilling one day thinking of a band name and when i looked at my watch to see the time the name just popped into my head! | Josh Lagerquist | ||
Fist Full of Hamsters | It is hard to put your finger on what exactly is wrong with this. There is just a distinctly nefarious quality to it. In that small furry woodland creature sort of way. | phrump | ||
Fisting Kittens | We were talking about how kittens have nothing to do with metal, and someone suggested the name. | Steve | ||
Fisting The Racoon | The bass player in my old band had a Racoon glove puppet. I don't think I need to say any more. | Jimmy Eat Cake | ||
Fisting Underware Nectarines | Bwahahahaha! That's just rude, crude and funny! | techthisout | ||
Fit Blonde Massage | I read it as an advertisement amongst the sex chat lines at the back of a music magazine, and joked it would make a cool name. | Sam B | ||
Fit For Fun | Last day of school, I said I was fit for fun ... | Thiis Guy | ||
Five By Five | Faith (from Buffy) used to say it. No-one ever knew what it meant, exactly, other than 'alright'. I think it'd be a good band name. | Andie | ||
The Five Families | It's a reference to "The Godfather". | Jonathan Jarocki | ||
Five Finger Discount | A slang term meaning 'shoplifting'. A five finger discount will give you five years in the hoosegow. | Unnnn | ||
Five For Folding | They're not quite Ben Folds;, not quite FIve For Fighting, but man do they rip s****y music of. | Spork | ||
Five Knuckle Shuffle | just one of those days sitting around bored! | Jay pierce | ||
Five Minutes Of Torture | I think this would be a proper name for some garage band that can't even play one five minute song right. They would get credit for being honest at least. | JariM | ||
Five O'Clock Shadow | It something everybody knows about. Plus, I don't know of any band with a time period in it. | Mustang Dave | ||
Five Percent Milk | Just thought it would be cool for a band name but decided it should be spelled out so it dosn't have all the numbers in it that alot of bands do. | karnov | ||
Five Second Rule | All the decisions I've made in life have stemmed from the five second rule. | Chris Awesome | ||
Five Step Rival | This name makes no sense to me at all, but it would be the coolest punkband name once someone figured it out. | pat bolan | ||
Five Story Igloo | I like how the name sounds. And wouldn't it be cool if you had a five story igloo? | toni | ||
Five Ugly White Guys | They are a grossly overrated, overplayed boy band that don't play any musical instruments, don't write their own songs, don't have any talent, need to have their voices digitally enhanced, sell more records than legitimate bands, and are worshipped by 12-year-old airhead girls everywhere. | Heather! | ||
Five Volts Out | A power bank I use for charging my phone has that printed on it. | Jonathan S. | ||
Five Wax Jimmy | I've watched a skit by Jimmy Fallon about him singing Barbara Ann to his wax figures, when those wax figures started to sing back to him. Well I just think it's pretty darn good for a band name | Gordie | ||
The Five Wayne Kerrs | We were asking each other in History about famous people and groups who were in the English Civil War. I asked my mate who the Five Wayne Kerrs were. Being the dumba** he is, he asked the teacher! | Lukas Bruksbi | ||
Five1015 | This name's creation was a LONG story involving extreme boredom, math class, and times tables. Then I thought "If other bands can use numbers in their name, so can this one!" | SamVK | ||
Fiveskin | Good pun, eh? | Anonymau5 | ||
FJB (Flap Jack Bob) | Ian Saulnier | |||
Flabby Normal | In Young Frankenstein, Igor got a brain from a jar saying "abnormal" and thought it was the name "Abby Normal". This band name expands on that. Also a comment on people today in general. | RevengeFromMars YouTube | ||
Flaccid Nipples | It came up when we were wondering what the opposite of erect nipples was. The name was submitted as part as a year 11 media studies project as a name for a grunge band. It is a very cool name and epitomizes the genre | IanR | ||
Flagger Muffin | Its really very random but it was my old goldfish's name! Me and my friend made it up when we were thinking of names for the fish. | holz_blablabla | ||
Flagrante Delicto | It's a Latin phrase. To be caught in flagrante delicto (flah-GRAN-tee deh-LIK-toh) means to be caught in the act. That's the general description, but it's often used specifically to describe being caught in the midst of sexual activity. | Da Phoenix | ||
Flak and Attitude | I was trying to help my niece out with something the other day, and all she was doing was giving me lots of lip and a smart aleck attitude. I got mad and frustrated, and thought to myself I'm trying to help and she's just giving me flak and attitude. And I got to thinking later it's a great name for a band. Like some punk-hardcore thing like Simple Plan or Hoobastank. I mean let's face it, nowadays people in their late teens and early twenties all they do is mouth off and are generally disrespectful of everyone and everything. And this name sums that all up perfectly. | Ed | ||
Flak Jacket Mayhem | Randomly thought it about it one day - thought it was cool | kyle | ||
Flaky Whim | I heard this name on the movie commentary for the DVD 'Hoodwinked'. Great name, don't you think? | Buru-kun | ||
Flam-A-que | Well this is a drum rudement. When my band and I were communicating random band names, they told me to think of the first thing that came to my head. This was the same day I learned this rudement , so it was involved inside my head. I think it is kind of a pathetic name, but they thought it was a cool sounding name. | gege | ||
Flamadiddle | A flamadiddle is one of the first drum patterns I learned in band. It's four strokes in a row going "right left right right" or "left right left left". A very fun word. | Pyro | ||
Flame | It's cool because when you think of heavy metal rock you usually think of fire. So I thought Flame was a cool name! | nicki | ||
Flames Of Hell | sounds like a a good death metal band | Grillzforlife | ||
Flames of Paris | It's a famous ballet piece. | Dione | ||
Flaming Bubbles | Once I was watching this talent show on TV where this British guy comes on and started blowing bubbles. Then he actually pulled out a lighter or something and started burning them! They started dissolving and I thought it was so cool so I wrote, just for fun, FLAMING BUBBLES on the back os my Social Studies textbook and then it hit me, "HEY! THIS WOULD MAKE SUCH A COOL BAND NAME!!!" | Nader | ||
Flaming Dixie Cups | A couple friends and I had filled dixie cups with gasoline and set them on fire. Eventually they all blew up which was really cool( but a really dumb idea don't do it). I decided that a really cool name for a punk/ ska band would be Flaming Dixie Cups (nice ring to it huh?) | Brittany | ||
Flaming Dog | my friend and I were talking about cool band names and this was one of our favorites along with "adreneline high" and "Cat; the other white meat" | Lefti | ||
The Flaming Geraldo's | It might be funny if Geraldo Rivera caught on fire on a reporting assignment, or if he were really gay, and a band named themselves after that... | Jeremiah | ||
Flaming Hopes | Everyone has somekind of hope..this one is just kuel! | India | ||
Flaming Jesus Beaters | Me and my friends were high as kites and we just sayin funny stuff and someone said this and it stuck. | Jared | ||
Flaming Jet Dry | Named it while watching the Daytona 500 2012. | Racer | ||
Flaming Monkey Stick | It was in a Beavis and Butthead book on a page with different words to mix up. | Mark | ||
The Flaming Nipples | A band me and my mate down under started after a night of heavy drinking and ill advised nipple piercings. | Oscar Domingo | ||
Flaming Nitroglycerine Darts | Just sounds dangerous doesn't it? My dad and I were just brainstorming, and this popped out. | Veedubdude | ||
Flaming Peanut Butter | Saying this is one of my more creative ways to get around the urge to swear. | IHaveNoBrain | ||

Flaming Popcorn | One time, we were at this hotel, we were watcing TV at night with popcorn in the microwave and my dad fell asleep. He woke up from the smell of smoke, grabbed the now flaming popcorn bag and stomped out the fire with socks on. We still ate the popcorn. It tasted like (burnt popcorn). | Gordon | ||
Flaming Pubes Of Armageddon | We've used it as an exclamitory phrase for years.. (Microsoft bought Rare - FLAMING PUBES OF ARMAGEDDON!) and just thought it would work as a band name also | Landon McLeod, George Proctor, and Adam Newton | ||
Flaming Pubes Of Armageddon | I heard some 7'th grader say it on the bus in the form of an exclaimation... | G. Piddy 76 | ||
Flaming Snot | This would have to be a punk band, definitely. My friends and I were discussing the strangest band names we could think of. This has stuck. | SisterHavana | ||
The Flaming Swedes | Swedes+Fire=Funny | Jigga | ||

The Flaming Undergarments | My friend and I were trying to come up with a name for our band and so we were randomly putting two note cards together with words on them. I would verbs on one card and wrote nouns, and thus, we got our name! | Jenny | ||

The Flamingo's | This is for some one named sunil gopal who would love to have this as a band name..... Dont ask | Un Gato Es Verde | ||
Flamingos of Santo Domingo | From that old TV show, "Parker Lewis Can't Lose." Perfect for a surf/spy guitar band, along the lines of the Penetrators or the Volcanoes. | Olvan The Terrible | ||
Flammable Vapors | My new band was practicing in our basement, trying to come up with a cool band name. Our Bass player looked over to the furnace, and read this off the warning label! We ended up going with a different name, but we still joke about it. | Mick | ||
Flannel Ambulance | It's cool because it's so spontaneous. I was sitting in a Dairy Queen with a friend and when I looked out the window, I saw this guy with a flannel shirt (and a mullet, by the way). I didn't pay much attention to him for a few minutes, but finally I heard a really loud noise. I looked out again and this ambulance drove by. And right as it passed this litte restaurant, the guy stood up..and tripped. Hence, Flannel Ambulance. | LRG MRG | ||
The Flapdoodles | My friends and I were looking at Potter Puppet Pals and in the video "Wizard swears" Dumbledore said 'Oh, Snape. Let them have their Flapdoodle!' Sooo.....Yea. | Flapdoodle1112 | ||
Flash Mob Suicide | Saw a bad Japanese thriller called Suicide Club, about a suicide cult that started a city-wide chain of copycat suicides, and the idea of a flash mob that committed suicide just came to me. And that it was a cool name for a band. | Dirty H-Bomb | ||
Flashing Green Lights | I overhead someone troubleshooting a printer, and they said Flashing Green Light, all of a sudden it sounded like a cool band name. | Giles | ||
Flastic Plashion | I love play-on words. I think a band with this name would have a sorta electro/punk thing going on, like Mount Sims or Gravytrain! or Freezepop. You know? | x3lise_x | ||
Flat Tire Donut | I have a flat tire on my car, and it made me think about donuts. | Lance Crackers | ||
The Flat Tubesteaks | My friend and I used to go to Fat Tuesdays ( a local bar) and we used to call it Flat Tubesteaks. The term tubesteak was the punch-line to this old, dumb joke my brother used to tell. | Pat | ||
Flatline | my friends and I were talkin and all of a sudden my friend nicole says something about flatlining like you know in the hospital how when someone flatlines they die? I was just like flatline hmmmmm that'd be a cool band name | Eli | ||
Flatulence | Well my buddy Eddie came up with it once (I don't know why) but I always kinda liked it cause when people say "why flatulence???" I say because whenever we go up on stage we stink up the place | Ray | ||
Flavored With Meat | Keeps people wondering "Where the hell did that name come from?". It was on the label of a jar of spagetti. | Mr. Vidocq | ||
Flawless Imperfection | Its cool because it contradicts itself. I guess its saying that perfection also has its flaws. | Santi | ||
Fledgeling Dog | I had this idea because my dog has scabies. | Fields | ||
Flesh Scepter | I think the name speaks for itself. However the lead singer would have to be named Lolli Polyps! | DubWise | ||
Flesh Tuxedo | Actually was in a cover band named this. People dug it. We got it from the movie Spinal tap from the song Big Bottom. Anyone who's a musician KNOWS this movie inside and out ;-). Great song - GREAT BAND NAME!! | Deanna* | ||
Flexneedle | Wordplay | Sarah D. | ||
Flexxi Sealia | A female rapper name based from "Flex Seal"? | Brionna Secret | ||
Flick Clint | There are a lot of pictures on the Internet that involve the word "flick" (or other words that contain it, like "flicker") or the name "Clint" that, when written in all caps, looks like...something else. Great test of the letter spacing of people who put up signs for your band. | JeReMy | ||
Flick The Switch | It just came up in my mind. This band name would be cool for rock bands | Francis | ||
Flick Your Bic | Hell, maybe their songs will be good enough someday to be "lighter quality." | pauhead | ||

Flip | Cool name but the F has to be backwards. | Jiggily Puff | ||
Flip a B**** | It's basically another term for "U-Turn". My friends and I were thinking of a name for our band. We thought it was pretty kick a**, and we're all chicks. So it's our band name now. | mariah morales |
