Names -> Cool Band Names -> M, 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.

| Moonlit Tiger | Me and my buddy kelsey needed a band name,desperately,so we both took 2 things that we thought were amazing,moonlight and tigers and put them together. coolest band name on this website | Brandon Green | ||
| Moonmantis | Class project spawned this one. | Mike | ||
| The Moonrats | Might give a band a quasi-exterrestrial aura, even though a moonrat is an actual hedgehog-like animal of southeast Asia. | D. Melody Dole, MD | ||
| The Moops | From the "Seinfeld" episode "The Bubble Boy". George plays Trivial Pursuit against the titular "bubble boy". He replies that one particular answer is "The Moors", but George says it was "The Moops". (It was a typo.) Let's just say it didn't end well. | Brian Kelly | ||
| Moose Finbar | A wordplay on Mouse Finbar, one of the avatars in the movie "Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle. It is formed from the original by substituting Moose for Mouse. Anthony "Fridge" Johnson, the character who chooses the avatar, allegedly mistook "Mouse" for "Moose" intending to choose an avatar who is a large person, but is disappointed (at first at least) in his avatar turning out to be a small person. | Roy R. Pryor | ||
| Moose Poop in Our Mouths | It's gross and funny | Hee | ||
| The Moostaches | As pronounced by Rajesh in an episode of "The Big Bang Theory". | Lance Crackers | ||
| Mops Over Microphones | Big Hair bands of the 80's inspired this name. | alchem99 | ||
| Mopsy | I got it from an episode of 'The 7D', the one with the ghost girl who is Queen Delightfull's imaginary friend | The Mole | ||
| Moral Speed Bump | A friend was talking about how hot a way too young girl was and said that the only thing stopping him was when he hit "the wall of morality" to which someone replied, "but with you it's more like a moral speed bump." | sarge | ||
| Morbid Tortoise | Playing with paints, Placed a few drops on a piece of paper and folded it creating a Rorschach. What came out looked like a multi colored turtle. Hence the idea and name Morbid Tortoise. | Laszlo Voros | ||
| More For Less | I thought this name was cool, because I know of bands that do so much to try to make a difference in the world and don't succeed when they need recognition. So if any of you understand this name, then this name is for you. | daniel | ||
| More Than Motion | This name suggests that the music that the band makes is something more than a father beating their child. More than the screams of a broken family. More than any pain. More than Emotion. More than Motion. | L | ||
| More Than You Can Fathom | i heard it in a song and i thought it'd be a cool name | Noah sennholz | ||
| More To Multiply | One day in math class, I was taking this test and part of an answer was "there are more ways to multiply". I think it's cool, but it could be taken the wrong way! | mich | ||
| Morning Glory | Reminds me of a firework(good rock band name) | Kelsi | ||
| Morning Nightmare | well one day my friend was telling me that she had a nightmare the night b4 but her dream was set in the morning time and i thought it was funny to have a nightmare when its morning. (just to clarify this: she was sleeping at night but her dream that she was dreaming took place in the morning) | poo | ||
| MorNiNg wOOd | Cool name, makes me laugh. (Came from, no pun intended, a "Beavis and Butthead" episode.) | CorEy | ||
| Moronic Acid | It's a real chemical compound, but it's found in (!) the bottom of ancient egyptian pots, which was too boring for a name like that, and I figured it would make a great name for a sort of punk-metal band. If my friends and I ever decide to get off our lazy a**es and start a band, maybe we'll call ourselves that. It sound like a NOFX style band that would constantly be telling MTV to go **** themselves. That would be us! | crazy goat | ||
| Morphine the Med Students | I was just thinkin' about med students/surgeons/doctors and what they might do in thier spare time. Do morphine of course! | Knumb Prodigy | ||
| Morphine, OD | I just had an operation and I came up with it and laughed! | Robert | ||
| Mort De Rive | I read in in a book of trivia that, in France, people texting use "MDR" in place of "LOL". "MDR" stands for "mort de rive", which in English means, "I died laughing". | Jonathan S. | ||
| The Mortars | sounds like a classic rock band name, was going to be the name of my band | enemy909 | ||
| Morte Inferno | We put the to words together. It means "fire by death" (or "death by fire"). I think it sounds good. | trinidad | ||
| The Mortgages | A name for a 30 something pick up band that suddenly finds itself famous. Inspired by a band in the 1973 Punch Christmas Annual! They'd be so boring that they'd be kewl! | Nice Bob | ||
| The Mortimer Snerds | In Stephen King's novel Carrie, the bitchy popular girls refer to the geeks and losers as Mortimer Snerds. This would be a great name for some sort of angst-ridden underground emo band. [Ed.'s Note: Mortimer Snerd was one of Edgar Bergen's puppet characters.] | Jimmy's Dreamgirl | ||
| The Mortimer Snerds | Sounds like a really flippant, in-your-face punk band. The name is a nod to Stephen King's novel Carrie, in which the unpopular kids were known contemptuously as Mortimer Snerds by the sadistic rich girl. | Alicia | ||
| The Mosh Pit Sorority Sisters | I saw this term in a magazine, and thought it would be a good name for a riot grrrl band, plus it combines two opposites, since sorority sisters are stereotypically goody-goody (even though they may really not be)! | Carla Bisagni | ||
| The Moshed Potatoes | my friend is obsessed with saying potato. | pladmaster | ||
| Mosiac Disease | my friends and I were gonna start a band, we flipped through the dictionary and this is a type of disease for a plant. | Anna | ||
| Mosquito Bite | i got a mosquito bite once and i thought that would be a cool band name | mike | ||
| Mosquito Libido | Clearly a Nirvana cover band. | RevengeFromMars YouTube | ||
| Mosquito Valentine | This is the full name of Doug's friend Skeeter on the cartoon "Doug". It calls to mind something sexy and yet bloodthirsty, and thus would make a great name for a tough, raunchy all-girl band. | Kath | ||
| Moss Feaster | This is a name of a funeral home in the town I am from in Florida. I thought is sounded like a kick *** name. | pjam1379 | ||
| Mossy Faith & The South Side Sinners | I was straining my brain to find a handle for a large soul band with horns, background chorus and a soulish lead singer. I knew "the South Side" would be in it but nothing else clicked. Then I heard Percy Faith (actually Percy Sledge, but whatever), but sing "When A Man Loves A Woman" and I really felt it. So I new "Faith" was working and with that word I tagged "Sinners" on the end and Mossy (an old cajun name) on the front. That was good enough for Riely and good enough for me. [Ed.'s note: I don't know who Riely is, so don't ask.] | Gary Gray | ||
| Most Natural Plastic Fruits | On my office wall, I have a bag of plastic fruit with this phrase, which has most likely been poorly translated from Chinese or Japanese. | Chuck Fensch | ||
| The Most Unlikely Of Heroes | I think it would be awesome for like a rock punk band | Sarah | ||
| Most Valuable Posers | Isn't this what MVP stands for in the music world today? | RevengeFromMars YouTube | ||
| Most Wanted | It was Hillary Duff's new cd!! | Emily | ||
| Mostly Harmless | My friend wrote it on the front of her English book, then I started doodling around it. It ended up quite a cool piece of art. Now our band is called Mostly Harmless. | Sage Sardonyx | ||
| Mostly Republicans | This could totally be a political band - not necessarily pro-Republican, but could be a great form of criticism. | Lorelei Leigh | ||
| Moth Eel | An anagram of "The Mole" | The Mole | ||
| Mother Fear | The last song in Fear 3 is "Mother" by Danzig. | BunnyKiller | ||
| Mother Mary and the Plenary Indulgence | Just saw Dogma, and the phrase "Plenary Indulgence" just jumped out... and in Mary (the mother of Christ) and the band name is born | Dave Hollins | ||
| Mother's Half-n-Half | A play on "Mother's Milk" or breast milk. It would be perfect for a female band to promote masectomies. | babe | ||
| Mother's Worry | kathleen opc | |||
| Mothers Against Drunk Drinking | Mike Lydic | |||
| Moths | The Moths is an amazing name. It is like a butterfly, only darker and sinister because it is a night creature. The story about the moth and the flame is a wonderful allegory on romance, so if any insect could scream rock n' roll, it would be the moth. Besides, it would be mispronounced wonderfully as The Meulths (see A Shot In The Dark), and it could spurn fantastic album titles by the group. | Lou Guru | ||
| The Motile Sperm | I told my cousin a few years back that I saw a "townie" band in Athens, GA called The Motile Sperm - she believed me and tried to find out where they played. I thought up the name in an alcohol haze and thought it was funny. | W.D. Payne | ||
| Motivational Methodology | I heard a character on Scrubs use this phrase. It's just fun to say. Would be a great name for any pop/rock band. Their music would be catchy and uptempo. | Edward | ||
| Motorkill | Its a pretty cool metal band. Name i came up with it when i got the band, Motorhead mixed with their song Overkill. | maddie | ||
| Motorsickle | Vince Neil pronounces the word "motorcycle" this way in the Mötley Crüe song "Girls Girls Girls". | GlamRockNinjaLord | ||
| Motyl | The polish word for butterfly | Lori Blonde | ||
| Mouldy Toast | This name rocks because it is my own creation and i don't think toast even goes moldy, so it's different. | bry-bob | ||
| Mountain Dolls | Sound like a hip band with creativity | DHizzy | ||
| Mountain Don't | For those of us who hate Mountain Dew. (Yes, there are some who don't like it.) | Lance Crackers | ||
| Mounting Indifference | My personal indifference is mounting with every passing day. | Dave Emke | ||
| Mourning Glory | It is so cool. coz when u say it people will think Morning like the oasis song but it is mourning glory so it is sorrow in glory. a conderdictary term but a very good one. | hdhdhdh | ||
| The Mourning Process | When our drummer died, we couldn't let go. Hence the name, the mourning process. | Los Chihuahuas de Mike | ||
| Mouthful of Butter | I heard some kid in marching band say that he ate the whole glob of butter...band kids heh. | Chesty Laroo AKA Busty StClair | ||
| Mouthy Lil Bastardz or The HoundDogs | i think both of these cool names are the best 4-real!. | J-Dub | ||
| Moving Fro | Moving "to and fro" is a common expression. But just moving fro is rarely, if ever heard of. So what would it mean to move just fro but not to? | D. Melody Dole, MD | ||
| Moving In Stereo | It's a Cars song title. | GlamRockNinjaLord | ||
| Mow and the Lawns | Nerdfighters ;)dftba www.youtube.com/vlogbrothers | | anna | | |
| The Mozart Underground | Hehe Ok. My band almost used this one. Pretty Catchy eh? | Bioman | ||
| Mozart's Ghost | The name of a fictitious band mentioned in the film "The Net," described by a surfer-dude announcer as "The hottest band on the Internet." I figure as long as there are already instances of real life bands naming themselves after fictional ones (The Killers, for example), why shouldn't someone use THIS name? | Jonathan S. | ||
| MPB (Mad Pit Bull) | MPB sounds like MP3, me and my friends would try to insult the teachers by calling her a MPB (Mad Pit Bull) she'd ask what it meant and we'd tell her its an inside joke from a tv show and a mad pitbull would make a good cover for a CD and would make a good punk or metal band name. | Chris | ||
| Mr E. and the Detectives | It's so... Mr. E.-ous. | Doyle | ||
| Mr Neutron | According to a Monty Python sketch, the most feared man in all the universe. He is a gardener and decorator. | Rachal | ||
| Mr. C, My Number 2 | My best friend (who had a boyfriend) had a crush on this guy, but she couldn't tell anyone (except me of course) so when she wrote me notes in which he was involved, she called him Mr. C My Number 2 because her boyfriends name also started with c... | daphne | ||
| Mr. Ease Of Life | Just a play on "mysteries of life", although life would be easier. | Opie M. | ||
| Mr. Fahrenheit | Queen's song "Don't Stop Me Now" contains the line, "Two hundred degrees, that's why they call me Mr. Fahrenheit." For some reason, the phrase stuck with me as a great band name. | acidbrat | ||
| Mr. Happy Pants | Mr. Happy Pants... hes happy Im happy youre happy we are all happy! What more do you need? | Pigertaws | ||
| Mr. Happy's Magical Ride | If the band had completely opposite-sounding music from the angelic name, that would be wicked! I actually got this name from a magazine that my bff made up and started. | Nikki | ||
| Mr. Hate | "Mr. Hate" is the title of a song the Tubes recorded in the '80s. I always thought it sounded like a cool name for a punk band. | acidbrat | ||
| Mr. Holland's Orphase | I can't spell. But just like the movie, Mr. Holland's Opus. | Jeremiah | ||
| Mr. Lick | It kind of speak or licks for itself. The name itself came from my girl friend after 1 faithful night, if you know what I'm saying. | David L. Williams | ||
| Mr. Menard's Mad | My principal, Mr. Menard, is sort of cuckoo. My friends and I think that he thinks that he's Billy Fucillo, 'cause he's always sayin' "It's gonna be hu-u-u-u-uguh." (Please don't mind my spelling, it's one of the things I am not good at.) | 300 Bernard St. Girl | ||
| Mr. Mofongo | This is a name of a restaurant in Orlando where I go to college. I don't know what they serve but their name is funky ass hell and would be a good name for a group. | pjam1379 | ||
| Mr. Mute and The Graveyard Shift | I was thinking of Me First And The Gimmie Gimmies when i just thought about Rancid's song Red Hot Moon and in th song it says something about a Graveyard shift tonight. Then I thought The misfits had something do do about Mr. Mute. Mr. Mute and the graveyard shift would be a cool punk band name | Evan | ||
| Mr. Peanut Butter | One of the main characters from 'Bo Jack Horseman'. He is a yellow anthro dog. | The Mole | ||
| The Mr. Rons | I love it. It was because of a village's post man. All the little kids called him Mr. Ron. He was fired from his post for posting a sausage in a letter box. | radio cambs | ||
| Mr. Saturn | Yet another video game-based band name idea from Olvan The Terrible, this name comes from "Earthbound." They could be like They Might Be Giants or Weezer. | Olvan The Terrible | ||
| Mr. Self Destruct | It's the name of a Nine Inch Nails song. | insert name here | ||

| Mu Po ToFu | im not sure what this is exactly, but i saw it on a sign by a chinese restraunt in massachusettes "We sereve fresh Mu Po Tofu daily" and it sorta rhymes. | jaded | ||
| Mu Sorka | Means "trash can" in Russian, "my star" in Polish, and "money bag" in some slang.(Brazilian?) We're trying to be international! | Xie21 | ||
