Names -> Cool Band Names -> N, Page 3

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 starting with N are split into multiple pages: 1 2 3 4

Name		Origin		Submitted by:
No Perimeter		It basically means "no boundaries" therefore implying "we can do anything"		Marco
No Pocky For Kitty		Well, it's from a Superchunk album title, but after you've been in Japan for a while, it's almost as funny as buying a can of "Beer Water."		Rod
No Priorities		There was a "priorities" section in my middle school agenda book. My best friend was calling me lazy and decided to write down "NO PRIORITIES". We decided that was going to be our band name. But neither of us play an instrument. Hey, singers!		EGibbzz
No Privacy		It's cool because it's funny. People like to walk in on me. Let's just leave it at that.		jack
No Refunds		Me and my friends were thinking of a band name so my friend had his phone in his pocket then he remembered that he didn't get a refund on it because he doesn't like the mobile		Glen Morton
No Relation		I don't know - it just sounds kind of clever. I was watching Tiny Toons and those friggin' rabbits kept saying it so now its stuck in my head!		Coolio Janet Fan
No Room For A Spinnet		A mondegreen from the Klondike Bar jingle. A spinnet is an older, smaller version of an organ, so there's no room for one in a rock band.		Floyd DeBarber
No Room For Error		I'm not sure, probably a combination of immagination and my computer.		Steve
No S*** Sherlock		One day Kim replied to some blatantly obvious comment that I made "No S*** Sherlock" and one day, we're gonna form a cool band with that name. So don't copy!		Jamie and Kim
No Second Thoughts		I came up with this idea because I sometimes don't think twice before I do something. LOL		joe
No Self Respect		I read that there is actually a band calling themselves Purple Vulture S***. I figure if you're the kind of person who would have a name like that, you may as well use this one. It says it all.		HiredGoon
No Self Respect		I came up with this name after finding out there was actually a band at one time called Purple Vulture S***. I figure if you would actually call yourself something like that, you can use this name and people would still get the message that you have "no self-respect."		Lev007
No Stairs Needed		My story behind this one is: Once I was playing my guitar inside an elevator and noted that it had great acoustics. It would be fun to record an album IN an elevator, just like Weird Al recorded a song in the dorm bathroom. Because of my music interests, it would probably be a Christian Rock band, so we'd do covers of "You Raise Me Up", "We Fall Down", and (a small diversion) "Stairway to Heaven". Other possible band names would be Falling Up(inspired by Shel Silverstein), and Ups and Downs.		Artsy Dude Chris
No Stairway		I nearly got our classic rock band named this due to our high concentration and quality of Led Zeppelin covers! I anticipated not playing "Stairway to Heaven" except as an encore! With a nod of inspiration from the music-store sign in Wayne's World, of course!		The Snodgrass Family
No Strings Attached		I thought of this name while talking with my friend. I thought about the N' Sync album "No Strings Attached" and thought it would make a good Band name.		Pyrate
No Talent A** Clowns		Funny line from the movie Office Space.		David Guizlo
No Time For Losers		I thought of the Queen song "We are the Champions". No quitters in the band all winners in my book :)		Freddie
No Time For The Truth		I got it from a friend saying, "You want the truth, but you can't handle the truth, you, you, you truth handler", It was very funny!		Cally
No Turn On Red		I kept seeing the signs at traffic lights, and i was like HEY cool!		Phoenix
No Vacancy		I was driving to Ocean City, MD with my grandparents, and we were tring to think of a good band name. The band name had to be written around us, so I saw on one of the hotels it said, "No Vacancy" and I thought that what be a good band name.		Alexis
No Yes		I looked and wasn't able to find this anywhere. I like the way it sounds.		G
No-Reception Radio		That's what we call our "band" which probably doesn't even qualify as a band at all. The name perfectly describes our "music"...Which probably doesn't even qualify as music...at all.		Mac
The No-Shows		I was in music class and a group who was preforming had hardly any people in the group coz they were away sick. Then the teacher said "The rest of them are no-shows?" and I said that that was a cool name for a band,unfortunately my friend didn't agree.		Rynn
The No-Shows		I was in music class and a group who was preforming had hardly any people in the group coz they were away sick. Then the teacher said "The rest of them are no-shows?" and I said that that was a cool name for a band,unfortunately my friend didn't agree.		Rynn
The No-Trumps		Perhaps a band opposed to Donald Trump's bid for the U.S. presidency?		Blake DeKalb
Nobbsicles & Shitake Mushrooms		A little inside joke with one of my friends. I think it sounds good.		Junior
Nobby's Nuts		I was in a pub with my mum, and they were serving a type of nuts called Nobby's Nuts. Me and my mum were talking about what to call our pop group, and my mum said "Nobby's Nuts" would be a good name for a pop group.		sonikal
The Nobodies		My friend and I were thinking of a cool band name when we finally just gave up. My friend then replied, "We're just a bunch of nobodies!"		Mel
Nobody		If your band sucks then it will make the listeners seem like good people. "Nobody sucks!" "Nobody shouldn't quit their day job." "I'm gonna stab Nobody in the eyes with a dull teething spoon."		Bocefus the great
Nobody Here		All alone...		Bread
Nobody's Heroes		It sounds cool, plus I figured that the way the band works. No one would want us to be their hero.		andrew bergamo
Nobody's Onions		My friend and I were looking up phrases from the 1920's to use in a history project. The term was "Know your Onions" but my friend thought it said "Nobody's Onions." I thought it sounded like a good band name, especially for a band that stinks so band that nobody will manage them.		Jujubee
Nocturnal Damnation		Pronounced (Damn-Nation) Basically, I've been cursed with unsteady hours into the Night, and I've switched my body to be being awake at night, and asleep in the day. It's like being permanently jetlagged in your own country. This name is cool, because the band would be sorta tired at day, which would be a metaphor for tired of being in the light. And therefore, they "roam the night" or in other words, the darkness.		Daniel Kang
Nocturnal Emissions		During puberty, boys c**** themselves in there sleep(otherwise known as a wet dream) and NOCTURNAL EMISSION is the technical term for it		JewBoyJwr
Nocturnal Light		I thought of this name because it sounded cool and it is obvious lights are used when its dark.		LEM(Live Every Moment)
The Nocturnal Majestic		My sister and I were trying to come up with a band name that not only sounded cool, but meant something. The Nocturnal Majestic is a name about how magnificent the world is at night.. We didn't end up using it but we hope someone else might!!		Faith
Noddaclu		And a twist on the other entry here, Nodaclue was a local Boston band back in the 1980's. I believe they played reggae music on the south shore.		JohnnyB
NoExit		Me and my future band were walking and we saw the street sign. We thought it was really cool.		P-dogg
Noids		Nerds from Brooklyn, maybe?		IHaveNoBrain
The Noids!		It's cool because it has no meaning, looks like a comic sound effect and is spelled with an exclamation mark. What else do you need?		Paul Garner
Noise From Toys		Inspired by all of the garage bands.		alchem99
Noise Lesion		It's a palindrome, and it'd be a great name for a punk or metal band.		Jared
Noise Rises		I was jamming with some friends in a basement. The guy singing notices a spider on a thread of web hanging right in front of the mic. We hit the chorus at full volume, the spider crawls back up the web to the rafter. At the end of the song, the singer points all this out to everyone (nobody else noticed at the time). I replied "going up the web won't help... noise rises". We played a couple of clubs under that name before disbanding.		fobner
The Noise Tanks		It's a group of vandals from the game "JET SET RADIO".		Ben
Noisome		A name for a really racy heavy metal group...........shocking lyrics.....in one of my fanfics (Jem) Jem and the Holograms are sweet girls, and they're on a tour.......the Misfits are also on tour, and their tour is called Noisome.		Colorado Kid

Non-Fiction Real Tiger Brand Kids		This is on the tag of my shirt I just mixed it up that's all chow.		hamp
Non-Practicing Witches		This is a cool name because you have a trio of females who dress up like witches, but do not practice any magic spells. It's Stevie Nicks times three.		band

Non-toxic Venom		I don't know...		G

The North American Giant Salamander		Actually, this was a real band, for about thirty seconds. I was the bass player and also named the band. My xbf, who played guitar (the fact that he did not actually know how to play guitar did not dissuade him in the least), had been for a walk in a rural area that bordered the town we lived in, and came back claiming that he had seen a North American Giant Salamander in a small creek. My first thought, "That would be a great name for a band!" So, when we got together with a friend who also did not know how to play guitar, and a coworker who actually did know how to play the drums, well... The only reason I bothered to show up for what we called "practice" was so I could jam with the drummer. But alas he had to leave town in a hurry because he owed a lot of money that he didn't have to several different crack dealers.		The Asbestos Mango
Northshore		It's the name of the road i live on. Northshore Drive. It's a little too fruity for my band. Hope someone can use it.		Ej
Nose Fart		...is a program for winamp for playing NSF files, which are NES music files. I like using "not so, fatso!" better, but anyway, the people making those things are trying like crazy to work the names around the letters "NSF".		something clever
Nose Picking Friends		Based on the old saying "You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friend's nose." Another version on the TV show Hee Haw altered the ending to "But you can't wipe your friends on the couch", which would be even grosser.		Opie M.
Nose Ratchet Thread		Came to me in a cider induced dream.		Steve Bee
Noseamic Bombers		We made this up about a mate with a huge nose. We contrasted it with atomic bomb to make noseamic bomb.		Ricco
The Nosey Parkers		A nosey parker is someone who likes to butt into others' businesses and is also the butler in the British series "Thunderbirds". A nosey Parker would have a nose for good music.		Gerald Dean Page

Not Drowning, Waving		My friends and I thought it would be cool to get high at the beach at 2 o'clock in the morning. Trust me, not a good idea (what ever you do don't try this s**O at home, OK?) Anyway, one of my friends got in the ocean and started to float out to sea.I saw his hand go up, so I went to save him and he was like not drowning, just waving. So I thought Not Drowning, waving would be a cool name for a punk rock/emo band.		Kelsey

I was walking in to a Starbucks and some homeless guy, with a powerful odor, walked right up to my face and said, "You know a cup of coffee sounds good right now.". I didn't buy him one because he was so aggressive about it. But I did think, "If he was in a band, they could be the...." well, you know.		faze1
