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.

Flipped Out Ninjas | Four guys who appear on stage in ninja uniforms, and do what they do best: totally flip out and wail on their guitars! (NOTE: If you don't understand this, go to http://www.realultimatepower.net/ right now.) | Olvan The Terrible | ||
Flipping Officers | A few of them seem to deserve being flipped off. | RevengeFromMars YouTube | ||
Flipside | It's cool b/c it's like, ya know, the flipside of a record. The guitar player for our band rides horses and there was this horse named Flipside and we just thought it sounded cool. | Nick Carter's Number 1 Fan | ||
Floating Crackwhore | It came from TruTV Presents World's Dumbest... In response to a clip involving a boat called "Whiskey River", one of the commentators said "why don't you call it 'Floating Crackwhore'". | JeReMy | ||
Floccinaucinihilipilification | An actual word. It means 'not liking someone else's opinion'. Look it up. | jacom | ||
Floobers | Conjunction of flying/flopping slobbers/goobers. Inspired by a favorite hound dog that required a new term to adequately describe his normal state of being. Rumor has it that somewhere out there is a dog with no lips as he got his own share and some dog elses too. Verb form of this term is "floobin'". Guy and gals inflicting unwanted or unneccessary attention are known as "flooberers". Ya know, the kind drooling down your neck at the club. | Cyn J | ||
Floodlight | Just saw it written on a sign 'do not climb the floodlight' and I had the epiphany there! | Luke | ||
Floor | Well we were trying to make up cool names when my friend triped over his own feet and said, "Stupid floor." And then we thought floor sounded better then stupid floor | Fonzy | ||
The Floor | My friend and I were talking about cool band names, and he pointed out that if someone asked you what band you were listening to, you'd say, "I'm listening to The Floor." Funny mental picture, huh? | Jujubee | ||
Floor Meet Face, Face Meet Floor | A joke from "World's Dumbest" about a faceplant | JeReMy | ||
Floozymandias | Apparently it's a floozy with godlike powers. Or an all-female punk band. | RevengeFromMars YouTube | ||
The Flophouse Regulars | Back in my teen years, playing in bands, my friends would stay over at my parents house and the next day dad would say to me, hey ,dammit ,what does this look like some sorta FLOPHOUSE seems my current drummers dad said basicly the same thing. Our practice room is sorta like a flophouse and we are each regulars there | snuffy smith | ||
The Floppy Disks | I was thinking of my aunt's floppy disk collection. | The Mole | ||

Fluffishness | I was trying to think of random words in my room. I spotted some fluff on my wall. It got me thinking, and I plucked fluffishness from my imagination! It's so funny when people try to pronounce it! | Rosie | ||
Fluffy McNugget | I donno my 2 nieghbors are really crazy and they just blabbed on words and the always used to say fluffy mcnugget and all this other crazy stuff so why not have it as a band name!! | !!~Dani~!! | ||
Flunked Out Of The School Of Hard Knocks | If you flunked-out of "The School of Hard Knocks", you'd probably wouldn't get a job other than a drummer for a rock group. | Pual Bunions | ||
Flute Of The Room | I first thought of this as a spoonerism of "Fruit Of The Loom". Then I thought of how it might be a potential "cool band name", since, after all a flute is a musical instrument. Such a group might specialize in something on the order of chamber music. | Regina Haniger | ||
Flux | I have a shirt with the word on the back. In a psychological sense, flux can be described as a state of constant change. A good name for a band with an unusual style. | Chris from NJ | ||
Fly Dogz | Karen | |||
The Flyin' Mayans | I saw a lot of Mayan ruins when I went to Mexico, and the various names of their gods and the rest of their language could easily fill up this website alone. But for now I'll just share one that doesn't disrespect their now-extinct culture. | Y.Dload | ||
Flyin' Ryan | i was listenin' to this radio station and this guys calls up and the Dj gos "hey flyin' ryan" and ryan is one of the dudes in our band and it jus rhymes and all so its cool | Bobo the Hobo | ||

The Flying Sorcerers | A pun on "flying saucers" | Regina Haniger | ||
The Flying Sourcers | A pun on "flying saucers" | Regina Haniger | ||
Flying Underground Crazy Killers | Someone under the influence of LSD probably saw these creatures. But if you spell out the initial of each word, it makes you laugh a little. | nevergonnaknow | ||
FlyTrap | It's an awesome band name because it is catchy and short! | InkSlinger | ||
Fo$lix | this is a cool band name for a band with 4 people that are really slick in watever way.... i came up with this one by thinking of numbers and slick than making it sound cooler than it is... | Trevor Davis | ||
Fo' Shizzle | i just think its funny haha...its sorta like the "gangsta" version of no doubt if ya think about it...i dunno maybe its just me lol | stefani | ||
Foam Rubber Wind Chime | This is inspired by a line in the movie "Disorganized Crime". A sheriff played therein by Hoyt Axton reports to others a lack of activity in the area he is monitoring by saying "It's as quiet as a foam rubber wind chime down here." | D. Melody Dole, MD | ||
Foaming Pesto | In middle school, on Halloween, my science teacher was doing some experiment where he made this this long skinny tube of foamy green stuff come out of a pumpkin. Besides being thoroughly disgusted, my friend and I agreed that it looked like foaming pesto. Then later, when we were coming up with band names, this memory surfaced. | cassidy vail | ||
Foamy Wan Kenobi | According to a behind the scenes bit of information from behind the scenes of Revenge of the Sith, a foam model needed to be made of Ewan McGregor so that Hayden Christian wouldn't hurt himself during the scenes where Anakin caries Obi - Wan on his back | dayna | ||
The Focus Group | Have a friend who was in a focus group. Its a dumb way to make movies/pop art, but a cool band name | Isaac | ||
Foetal Pig | I was watching an episode of Crime Scene Investigation the other day where Grissom actually gave this as an "office warming"- present to Catherine. Foetal Pig is a cool name for a somewhat bizarre grunge/metal-band. | FaultyDog | ||
Foetus | My friend got the idea in a science lesson and has been besotted with it ever since. She's desperate to be in a band so she can use the name. | Sophie | ||
Foetus Dough | Foetus is an amazing word. Foetus Dough is what we call dough at work that somehow expands to look like a foetus. It's amazing. When I have a rock band, that will so have that name. | Manchester*Enfys | ||
Foetus Paedophile Diarrhoea | It's the British spellings of "fetus", "pedophile", and "diarrhea". | JeReMy | ||
FOG (Fields of Grey) | I was sitting around with some band-mates of mine, going through a list of cool band names my brother came up with when we came to "FOG... supposed to be an acronym, but I couldn't think of anything!" So, we sat there thinking of what to use for an acronym, when I say, "Hey, what about Fields of Grey?" Our band's stuck with the name ever since. | Drew Fields | ||
Fold Spindle Mutilate | because you are not supposed to do this. 1st album title = rippin at the mattress tag. 1st. single = writing below the line. Sometimes ya just want to do what your not allowed. Now go eat your cocoa puffs! | TooDang | ||
Folic Acid and the Neuro-Tube Defects | I saw it on the cover of a health magazine and thought it would be funny for a band name. | Lisa | ||

Fools 4 Love | Four band members trying to score with chics. Love those band names guys. | Paul | ||
Foon the Spork | Fooning a spork is when you sort of turn it inside out so it's facing the other way. But it's cool 'cuz people will always be thinking it's a euphemism for...something else. | SpongeBob SquarePants's Lady Friend | ||
Foot On A Stick | Our old name. My friend was looking at patterns on the ceiling and said something looked like a foot on a stick. | Pudding | ||
Football Head Baby | It's a Family Guy reference. On Family Guy, Stewie is a baby with a football shaped head. | JeReMy | ||
Footboobs | I was watching MXC and "Kenny" said this I couldn't stop laughing. And it's a cool name for a heavy metal band. | hamp | ||
The Footlongs | During gym, my hockey team had to come up with a name. We were coming up with sick names like The Carpet Munchers, etc., and footlongs just came into my head. DON'T USE THE NAME! MY BAND IS USING IT! | Cory | ||
Footy Rox | I was just watching the footy and I thought it would be a good band name. And I kinda like footy | Abi | ||
For Blood And Empire | It's the name of Anti-Flag's cd. It's got a cool meaning if you look it up. It sounds pretty cool. | +--KidneyBean--+ | ||
A For Effort | Some grades are based more on trying than actual merit. This band gets an "A" for effort; because they're terrible but they're persistant. | Rocky Rhodes | ||
For Every Action | Actually I thought of the name while watching Nine Inch Nails' video "Only" with the ball pendulm thing. It got me thinking about Newton's Laws Of Motion (So I told it to my friends and it stuck like glue to gum.) | Cody | ||
For External Use Only | My band were desperate for names, so I was in the shower racking my brains when I reached for the shampoo, and for some strange reason I read the bottle and voila!!! We ended up using Up Your Nose With A Rubber Hose cos we were all hooked on Welcome Back Kotter re-runs!!!! | Di the chicky mechanic | ||
For Macy | A Jane's Addiction spinoff. Sounds like "pharmacy," which, if you think of it, not a bad name on its own. | Chuck Fensch | ||

For Rent | I think this would be a cool name for a band because you would get free advertisement in the form of the zillions of "For Rent" signs that are plastered all over most cities. | Mary Jane Burns | ||
For Rent | When they put the name of our band on the "flashing arrow" sign, everyone thought the bar was out of business. | KO | ||
For Twenty Days | For twenty days means "4 20 Dazed". A cult religion band that sings about the use of marijuana in the Bible. Yeah Jesus was a pothead! [Ed.'s note: I beg to differ.] | Dj Quest | ||
For Your Consideration | Popular during entertainment awards season, when your "peers" are deciding who or what should be nominated. | Odie Garfield | ||
Forbidden Alibi | I was thinking of band names one day with some freinds and came up with this one. | john | ||
Forbidden From Viewing On The 'Net | When certain webpages are firewalled because of content. Of course, a band couldn't get any hits of therir website with this name. | bandname | ||
Forbidden Fruit | It's what you refer to an underaged girl as, or anything that's illegal. Could be a good name for an all-girl punk band. | Carla Bisagni | ||
Force Majeure | it means fortuitous event, something unexpected, an Act of God | Alpha | ||
Force of Habit | Well, I think this is already a band's name but here's the story behind this one. I was in our basement, going through some old junk, when the room goes dark. I yell up the stairs "Hey! Who turned off the lights?" My mom then responded with "Sorry, I didn't know you were down there so I turned off the lights. Force of habit (so there's the name)." And in those moments when I stood in our dark, musty, dusty (and generally unpleasent ) basement the coolest band name I had thought up to that point was born. A band name that will soon change the course of human history (insert beam of light shining down on me and angels singing in the background). Alright so it's not that great but it's still pretty cool, right?No...Ah hell. | Knumb Prodigy | ||
Force Speed | c'mon now, how great is forcing somebody to go faster and faster while driving in a sweet car on an empty long road... heh!! | DefeŠt | ||
Ford Siesta | It's like a Ford Fiesta, but it's also a nap. | JeReMy | ||
The Forecast | The Forecast would be cool for the radio. They would say "This is The Forecast" (and confuse anyone looking for today's weather.) | Carl | ||
Foreign People's Underwear | Right before my sophomore year of college I moved into a house with three guys... my room had recently been vacated by a foreign exchange student who had been living there for the summer. When I started unpacking my clothes I found that he had left all of his underwear in the drawers. Apparently he had bought a bunch of stuff while he was in the US and did not have room for his undergarments in his suitcase. Hence I found my dresser drawers full of "foreign people's underwear". | yoursisterdebra | ||
Forensic Worms | It just is cool. An old goof from my friends and me. | Buddhism | ||
Forensik Speling | This is a play on a scene from the South Park Movie, a kid in a spelling bee is asked to spell "forensics" and he writes " S * * * M Y A * *" It's spelled wrong on purpose. | Matthwala Quincy Ishmael (?) | ||
The Forest's Mushrooms | I really like the game "Super Mario RPG - Legend of the Seven Stars". And the forest music is one of my favorite tunes. So when I found a site that had the SPCs (SNES music file) for the game, the forest tune was named "Beware The Forest's Mushrooms.spc". | something clever | ||
Forever 'Til February | We keep switching classrooms for my drama class. I asked how long we would be staying in one classroom, my teacher said "forever" and then quickly corrected herself and said "til February" so i wrote it down because it was cool. | Phoenix | ||
Forever After | I was thinking of a band name for my band and we had come up with 'forever', so I decided to add 'After' at the end and it just works!!! | Georgia | ||
Forever For After | My friend and I were on a shopping trip and decided to go first to one store and then save "Forever (Forever 21) For After". It just sounds like an awesome oxymoron with the use of both the words ever (always) and after (later) preceded by for. | Alex | ||
Forever in March | it was the best month of my whole year last year | Pandora | ||
Forevers End | this is a great name for a emo band, well i was on a journey to England at damn it took forever and it didn't seem to end and bam! | JT | ||
Forget me in Vegas | Letty | |||
Forget Me Not | "Forget Me Not" was actually going to be my screen name but I have not decided if I would like it to be or not. So I came up with this name because it is actually the name of a flower, I just thought it sounded pretty sick. | Mandy | ||
The Forgetting Curve | I didn't actually come up with this, my friend Lyssi did. It's a psychology term, and she thought it would be a great name for a band. | Alice | ||
Forgetting Last Friday | Well pretty self explanatory I think everyone has had a Friday night they would rather forget :p | Brett B | ||
Forging Nevermore | Nevermore is from Edgar Allen Poe's "the raven" and forging i just thought sounded cool in front of it | Cale | ||

Forgotten Mnemonic | You can just imagine hairy musicians playing at the end of a talk show called Forgotten Mnemonic. It would work and you know it. Hah. | Flaff | ||
Forgotten Project | I always thought that names with "project" in them were cool. The downside (or upside?) of this name is that it can be confused with "Gotan Project" (a real band) | Neonblade | ||
Fork & Knife | They would tour with Spoon. | Haley Comet | ||
Fork Makes You Wee | My brother made it up | The Mole |
