M, Page 2

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.

MaNiC ReLaPsE	I was bored and this name just popped into my head. It sounds so kickass. I think it means worsening into a state of mental or physical hyperactivity. Sounds like some sort or metal or rock band. I'm probably going to use it,though...	CreativeIndifference
Manic! At Monte Cristo	Kinda like "Panic! At the Disco" meants The Count of Monte Cristo. Thought of it in English class when we were forced to watch the movie!	Kai
Manifest Destiny	its cool because manifest means obvious, and we all know what destiny is. So if the band is good enough, its obvious what their destiny is right? I cam up with this in History class. T'was actually my band's name, but our band broke up so ya like it, have it.	LiLAnniE
Manly Shaike	I dunno	The Mole
Manna Machine	Heard the "manna machine" was a concept to explain how Israelites had bread from heaven for 40 years...thought it was a cool band name.	Mike Lydic

Marathon Wipeout	A great name, it describes life perfectly, life is one big face plant.	Bayonder
The Marble Index	From a Wordsworth poem inspired by a bust of Newton, but it too readily brought to mind the Nico album, at least for me.

Marbleizer	I think it sounds awesome; I got it from a guitar named the purplemarbleizer.	James

Mark	"The first thing you need for your band...is a name" "Well, my name is Marc with a 'c', so I was thinking Mark with a 'k'... kind of like a psychedelic trip thing..." "ALWAYS play with their minds." empire records	Leslie
Mark On The Grave Scene	It's cool because it's a really dark name, and it has a certain ring to it. The lead singer's name is actually Mark, so that's also pretty cool.	...
Marketable Hell Rubies	My friend and I were on this website where you type in someone's name and it would scramble the letters and give you what else the name can spell. Well, she put in her crush's name and this is what came out. A cookie for anyone who can tell me her crush's name.	Blurple

Martrus Law	My friend Martin came up with this. Whatever it means	Joey
Marty And The Chucks	I got "The Chucks" from Chuck Taylor shoes and well... Marty is the only name that goes well with that..regardless if there is a Marty in the band,,,like "Hootie and The Blowfish" (there was no Hootie) The whole band can wear different ChuckTaylor shoes	Homer ANderson
Mary Poppins Pimps	Why is it cool???..Just read it!! LOL	Smitty

Masta/MC Syko	either Masta or MC for a rapper Syko pronounced Psycho with an accent over the "O" my nickname used to be Psyco b/c my friends were just playing around and was kidding but I liked the sound now if I ever go pro in the music business I'll take that nickname	MC Syko
The Master Baiters	I like it 'cause it sounds cool. I heard a joke with this as the punchline. Why not a band name?	Mo

Master of Puppies	It's like the song Master of Puppets, but it's not.	JeReMy
Master Plunger	It's cool cause this guy I used to hang out with in High School made it up by noticing a Master lock while he was taking a dump and then noticing the toilet plunger next to him and got Master Plunger.

Master Tiger	ELVIS' KARATE NICKNAME, HE WAS A BLACKBELT	ANDY

The Masters of Facepalm	A completely random name, which is also my nickname for MTV, since everything they show makes me do the dreaded facepalm.	JeReMy

Math Debate	an old joke in school...in english we were talking about some mathematical process, and it was like, 1/5 of the class versus 4/5 of the class, and my friend Jason says 'i want a math debate!' and it sounded like he said 'i wanna masturbate!' ^_^;	Sarah-neko
Math Eating Cows	I wish I had a pet cow that ate my HW. Don't you? I know, Iknow... it sucks	Evan
Matt Dillon's Underwear	This is Boy George's answer when he was asked by a magazine what would he want to be reincarnated as. I guess he meant the actor, not the marshal from "Gunsmoke". (Kinda of like when Prince Charles told Camilla Parker-Bowles he wanted to be her tampon. Equally gross.)	britrock
Mavalier	My friend's favorate basketball team is the Cleveland Cavaliers and my favorite basketball team is the Dallas Mavericks and some how we messed around with it and it ended up being Mavalier so that is cool. I hope you guys like it!	Jake Davenport

Maximum Of Destruction	It was a monster truck name.	phone
Maxine Martindale and The Midnight Minstrels	I was just making up band names and came up with Midnight Minstrels. But I decided they needed a singer with a name. I wanted it to be alliterative. So I came up with Maxine Martindale. I don't really know anyone with that name, it's just totally made up. I like it because it's alliterative. I imagine they'd either be a soft-rock or light R&B band. But I think it's a really great name for a band.	Edward
Maxwell Ain't Smart	Like Maxwell Smart from Get Smart, only stupid... I don't know enough about the series to say anything more...	IHaveNoBrain
Maxwell Ramfist	just a made up name... sounds like someone trying to be a bad ass	DanEnterprises
May Contain Awesome	It was on the side of a box that I received in the mail...should be for a grunge act with half naked cheerleaders, or a Spinal Tap styled group...Or Hair Metal...or Punk...or Jazz,,,	G
May Contain Nuts	Because it's something you hear quite often. But when you think about it, it's quite funny because it's saying that the band "might contain nuts"! Get it?	Matt
May Contain Peanuts	It's on all the packaging. That's a h*** of a lot o' free advertising!	CHRIS pyrdsa
May of Lalaland	Usually, I just sit in class twirling my hair, so all my friends call me May of Lalaland! If your music is just fun and cute, it would be perfect.	May May
Mayday	It's like you're rocking so hard, that you make planes come down. [Ed.'s note: Hopefully, that'll never happen.]	jeff griffin
Mayonaisse Initiation Feast	I came up with this name because I heard about a few of my friends that had to eat a grotesque mayo cuisine to join the basketball team, which was thought-up by the seniors. It just has a nice ring to it.	TYLER
Mayonnaise Initiation Feast	I got the idea from some idiot who couldn't spell. [Ed.'s note: See TYLER's entry for "Mayonaisse Initiation Feast".]	Itchy
MC Escher	M.C. are the graphic artist's actual initials, so it sounds like a standard hip-hop handle. It would be a hard name to live up to, though.	Schweitzito
MCI Robot	I was trying to think of something cool to add to the site. And I was watching tv and a commercial came on for MCI long distance. And it clicked with me. It's from the MCI long distance thing, and a (I believe) Asimov scifi novel, I Robot. You combine the 2 and get this. I think they could be real techno funk, lots of synthesizers and drum machines and stuff. And do stuff like lots of 80s bands did where the singer would sing into one of those things that changed their voice and sound really robotic or otherworldly.	Ed
McKolk Pfeffermenn And The Everflushing Toilets	this is a combonation of an incident at sea cadets (The Everflushing Toilets) and a guy a made up in NBA 99 (McKolk Pfeffermenn) and it sounds punk.	hamp

Me, This Dude And This Other Guy	It popped into my head while thinking of simple things band members can say, when introducing themselves.	G
Meager Portions	They are the coolest christian punk band ever. They over heard there bother who is like really smart say it once and it stuck. They have a dog named Mr. Baskem and they helped me name my frog Mr. Wubbles.	Spunkylatino
Mean Guitar	My mom and I heard that song "Tubthumping" in a store. We messed up the lyrics: We thought they were "I got no job, but I get over it 'cause I play a mean guitar." I later thought that would be a really awesome band name.	Rockette
The Mean Seething Angry Marsupials	My mom and I were at the pet shop and we were looking at a sugar glider, and it was making freaky possesed noises and my mom said it was a mean seething angry marsupial.	Korin
Meandered Minds	i got the word meander from an incubus song... it means not straight or curvy.. haha.... so... unstraight minds	jazzy
The Meaning of Life	My favourite Monty Python movie. Would look great on a marquee. Of course, your milage may vary. I'd love to listen to the Knights Who Say Ni, or perhaps The People's Front of Judea.	Chris
