Names -> Cool Band Names -> M, Page 7
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.
Entries Beginning with M, Page 7
Entries starting with M are split into multiple pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Name | Origin | Submitted by: | ||
| Muerto Gokiburi | "Muerto" means "dead" in Spanish and "Gokiburi" means "Cockroach"! So this name, to Spanish and Japanese people, means dead cockroach! Awesome for a band | Joe | ||
| The Muffin Men | (sings) Do you know the Muffin Men, the Muffin Men, the Muffin Men...that would be strangely amusing | Bye-Gon Jinx | ||
| The Mugicians | It is a portmanteau word, combining "musicians" and "magicians". | Regina Haniger | ||
| Mugwump | This is a term for a maverick if rather foolish person. Originally it was the surname of a Republican senator who always voted with the Democrats. My friend started calling me this after I fell on my head whilst a little over refreshed from an evening at our local hostelry, needing eight stiches and an enormous comedy turban like bandage. I like the name for a band as I gained my name fin a rock 'n' roll lifestyle way. | Kathy | ||
| The Mugwumps | Its a term from the Gilled age of politics, it means sitting on the fence and not sideing with the two main opposing sides. | Bflorio12 | ||
| Mullet And The Hoosiers | My friends and me always make fun of people from Indiana. I thought this would be a good band name for a band from Indiana, although one person could be from eastern Kentucky. | Alfonzo | ||
| Mullets in Action | Just a nonsense name | Mike Lydic | ||
| The Multijet Event | A multijet is a pretty spectacular event in a Hadron-Hadron collison (e.g. in accelarators). Roughly spoken. Again, I am a physicist... | Sabine | ||
| Multiple Nobodies | We were thinking of naming ourselves "The Losers", but that's way to average. Instead we thought of something similar to the losers but would apply to everyone of the average life and that they could relate to without being offended. | CSH | ||
| Mumblebee | When I was around 7 years old, I was eating dinner with my family. Being so young, I mumbled my order. My brother then said, "Stop mumbling, you stupid mumblebee!" | Merlin | ||
| MumCanWe'aveARabbit | Just heard it on a headache pill advert while reading this list! | Matt | ||
| Mummy's Little Nightmare | It might be like a Brittish punk rock band (note the spelling) or a band with louder music because, ordinarily, parents hate loud music...thus, Mummy's Little Nightmare. | Anna | ||
| The Mundangels | Inspired as a portmanteau word, combining "mundane" and "angles". That would tend to mean "earthly angels" or something like that. Google translators will recognize "mundangel" as a German word and translate it into English as "Anglo mouth". | D. Melody Dole, MD | ||
| Munford Coldwater | Its two cities, that share an interstate exit, close to where I live. I use it on rockband and guitarhero. | dizzydean | ||

| Murdershow | Tara D | |||
| Murdock's Minions | Remember "the A - Team"? Always thought Murdock was a terrific Fictional name. This one has a great sound to it and it's easy to remember. | Gary Gray | ||
| Murray Shaftner | What an elderly contestant on the game show "Family Feud" thought was a reporter on "60 Minutes" when asked by Richard Dawson. She must have been thinking of either Morley Safer or a Jewish "Star Trek". | news 8 | ||
| Murray's Tractor | It's so red-neck yokel hillbilly hippy back country hick. A bit like me in a way I guess. | gareth | ||
| Murry and His Minions | I was playing "The Curse of Monkey Island" (a Lucus Arts Computer game) and the character of Murry the Skull has me in stiches. A friend of mine then said perhapes Murry should have an army of other skulls to follow him - his minions, so to speak. It was then that we thought "Murry and his Minions" would be a great name for a 60's rock band, sort of in the vein of "Gerry and the Pacemakers". Or perhapes we were just being disturbing... | Mika | ||
| Muscular Thumbs | i remember this bartender, big moosy dude, who could open beer bottles with his thumbs. i said to my buddy -- "to do that, you would need muscular thumbs". He said "that's a cool name for a band." | Dane Janeiro | ||

| Mutated Flamingo | This would hands down make the fans laugh their guts out of their ears. | Ryan C. | ||
| Mutilated Death Monkeys | My fellow band mates and I were driving along and we slowed down to go over railroad tracks. My mate noticed that there was something on the tracks. I looked and said that it looked like a mutilated monkey. On the ride to practice, we kept referring to the mutilated monkey on the tracks. However, Mutilated Monkey on the Tracks seemed a little long and it soon became Mutilated Death Monkeys. We wrote some rather funny songs and did a little weird side project. The rather funny part is that my mate and I were also in a Christian band at the time. | Scott Drichel | ||
| Muy Bien | It means "very good" in Spanish. So if your band is good this is the perfect name. | Mike | ||

| My Core Mediation | Mycoremediation refers to use of fungi for purposes of cleaning up environmental contaminates.

Melody Dole, MD | ||

That band got out of control, and now we're up to new stuff, still thinking of a cool name to use. Yep, so it's pretty exciting! Feel free to use our old name.

| Myrtle; She's Not Dead | In 1988 some classmates and I had to come up quickly with a name for a band we put together for a school show. We really loved the Wicker Man film and I came up with the name from rough memories of the dialogue.
