Names -> Cool Band Names -> P, 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.

| Pasa Dili Dili Papa | A friend of mine told me how he used to (when younger) ride with his parents to see Christmas decorations.

| Pathetic White Guys | A band in my city is called this. They rock! Some heavy punk rockers. Kinda like a cover for the Pistols! Rock on, Chaos! | Michael Noetzel | ||
| Pathetically Inept.... | Just a great description of incompetency. | Steve | ||

| PawPet | This is what I call my cat sometimes. | dpgsk8 | ||
| Pax Metala | I brought this one to my band and they thought that it was pretty stupid. I thought of it in History when my Teach was talkin about Pax Romana: The theory that if the world was conquered by Romans everything would be peaceful. So I thought that if the world was conquered by Metal then everything would be just fine. Hint to the name Pax Metala. I thought it was good. | Wishbone Ash | ||

| Peach Fuzz | It is something that sounds like a 60's pop band and it's funny. | TMurph | ||

| Peaches, Cream, & Mixed Berry | My teacher calls me and my two best friends this, when he's not busy calling us the Unholy Trinity. I guess we're just a cup of yogurt like that?? Anyway, it sounds like a great band name whether or not there's three members. | Alex | ||
| The Peachy Girls | I was thinking of a band name to use in a fan fiction, and I was looking through these submissions for ideas when I remembered my username on another site, Peachy Girl (I'd used it because I'm a Georgia Peach). This would be a great name for a female country band, especially if they're from Georgia. | Ariana Grande mocha swirl | ||
| Peanut Alert! | It is from the back of wrappers from certain ice cream bars. I just always thought it was funny and would be a cool band name. | David a. | ||
| The Peanut Butter & KY Jelly Sandwich Express | I thought this would be catchy and memorable as a band name. It's a pun on "peanut butter and jelly." | Renard | ||
| Peanut Butter and Jelly | Well there were the bands Hot Chocolate and Milk 'N' Cookies. So I figured why not a band with this name. Most everyone likes peanut butter and jelly so they'd be really popular. They'd probably be a fun pop/dance music band. | Edward | ||

| Peanut Free | My friend who I'm making a band with is allergic to peanuts. So that's why its called Peanut Free. | T-unit | ||

| The Pears Of Anguish | I came up with it when a mate did a school lecture on torture techniques. The pear of anguish was one of the devices he mentioned. It just sounds well good. | CJ69 | ||
| Pecho | I was in Spanish, reading a Christmas poem. One line went "He stood erect with his hand on his pecho." It just sounds dirty and I like it. [Ed.'s note: "Pecho" in English is "chest".] | marisa | ||
| Pechos Privilegiados All Star Band | well, naturally an english-spanish combination is cool!!!, this was take from a spanish magazine named "la mosca en la pared", as a copy from a U2 song. | charles di filerio | ||

| The Pedigree of Sir Felix | One night, my friend Elijah and I were sitting around and started typing a "cheezy romance novel", which is an activity we do quite often, and it came to be called "The Boot of Sir Felix". Later on that night, there came to be a part of the novel which referred to the pedigree of our hero, our sexy sir, Sir Felix, who is actually a dog. It was kind of crazy. yeah, so we added it to the list of outrageously outrageous band names (another thing we like to do) and so it began! | Johnnie O. Bloom | ||
| The Pedophile Priests | A friend and I were trying to come up with offensive/in poor taste band names and I thought of this one. Could be embellished to Father Fondler and the Pedophile Priests. Sorry. | Woody Thomas | ||
| Peeping Tom & the Private Eyes | Something my older brother thought up. He said it just went with the flow, like Me First & the Gimme Gimmes. | Stockton | ||
| Peepo | How some "peepo" pronounce "people"! | Mountain Giselle | ||
| Peiroette When Shot | This one I came up with watching old war movies and every time someone got shot they would do a peiroette, or spin and fall. I know the term because a gay friend of mine does one when he is happy and taught us all this ballet s*** so I thaught of him. | Frankie V | ||

| Penelope's Pissed-Off | Based on the Hanna-Barbera cartoon "Penelope Pitstop", and a cool riot gi-r-r-r-r-rl band. | ugh | ||
| Penguin Killer | well.. i love penguins and i made up this whole story about how i have 17 evil penguins in my head and my friend threatened to kill them so i said "PENGUIN KILLER!!!" and she said "wow, that would be a cool band name..." | Jordan | ||
| Penguins of Doom | Imagine a 50's style horror film of people being pecked to death by tuxedos. | didymus7 | ||
| Penguins On Payday | It just sounds like a really kick ass post hardcore band name. | Jake | ||
| The Penilephants | it sounds cool. it's the merging of the word "penile" which is cool and an elephant. also makes a good insult (you're a penilephant!) | microgal | ||
| Penis Flyswatter | Put my entries 'Penis Flytrap' and 'Venus Flyswatter' together and you get... | IHaveNoBrain | ||
| Penis Flytrap | I swear to God, this is what I thought my dad said. | IHaveNoBrain | ||
| Penitent Tangent | Penitent means to feel remorse for sin, and tangent means like a line.. Sounds cool - figure out your own meaning to it... | SYNITH | ||
| Pennies In The Clothes Hamper | Living with small children makes one say so many odd things. A few months ago, I found myself saying to a 2 year old, "How about let's not put pennies in the clothes hamper?" There is probably some exciting metaphor for life in that phrase, if I could only think of it. | Carolee | ||

| PennyFront | Nickelback? Why not Penny Front? | allan fitz | ||
| Pennyless Paris Putas | a great name for a grimy banging hardcore grinding grunge group, all female hot group wearing torn fishnet stockings and punked out florescent hair and pasty white, mime makeup with heart red smeared lipstick, and look so rough they would be too ugly to make a dime as hookers. | badboybear | ||
| The Pensive | Pensive means..."deeply, often wistfully or dreamily thoughtful." It just makes good sense. | Mat | ||
| Pentarky | looking through the dictionary one day my friend and i came across this word. it means a government ruled by 5 people and at the time there were 5 people in our band...hence the name | KyM | ||
| Penumbra | it means half- light or shadow in spanish..kinda cool i thought.. | Big Al | ||
| People Of Positivity | They would be the exact opposite of Nabobs of Negativism. Very positive upbeat music that would uplift people and just make them feel good. Their songs would be very optimistic. | Edward | ||
| Pep Kat Jones and the Titty-Twisters | My best friend's boyfriends came to school one day and were all "We are gonna start a band, and our name is Pep Kat Jones and the Titty-Twisters!" Hillarious. It's a good name for a ska/2-step band. | michelle | ||
| Pepper | Bacause Salt is already taken. | Opie M. | ||
| The Pepper Colony | I thought the name leper colony was pretty good, in fact I was coming up with dozens of names. My wife began to mock me by writing altered versions of the names. This one is actually OK | gibberer | ||
| Pepper Sqad | i came up with this name while i was writing one of my songs. I compared myself to a pepper because it was hot and my flo is hot so me and my bois call our selfs the pepper sqad | SLiMCAT | ||
| Pepper Stars | My grandma had a dog named Pepper with... digestive problems to say the least, and sometimes when Pepper would get up after sitting somewhere for a long time, she would leave a brown smear which my grandmother (being a polite and proper 1950's housewife) referred to as pepper stars. | Ursula | ||
| Pepsidona | Because I screw up the English Language all the time. I was trying to say baking soda, but was thinking pepcid AC. | Erin | ||
| The Perds | It's a pimp and a nerd combined. Can't you picture a pimp black guy tearing up the guitar at the same time as a skinny nerdy white on the drum set? | Mr. Pimpy Nerd | ||
| The Perfect Giraffes | This comes from a theological argument I read recently which said that if God is the sum of all perfections, then He must, of necessity, be the Perfect Giraffe. Could be a good name for a Christian rock band. | Jenny | ||
| Perfect Imperfections | I was going to start a band with a few friends, but we could never finish songs we wrote for a long time (until we got better). We began to call the pieces of songs that we liked "perfect imperfections", because they were great, but incomplete. | Amy Thompson | ||
| Perfection is Fake | It's the name of a Train on myspace(: I thought it was cool. | Pandora | ||
| Perfumed Nasal Mucus | our gang had a contest to come up with the most disgusting name possible-I won hands down. | manoj | ||
| Perish the Thoughtless | Not really the opposite of the phrase "perish the thought". This band would probably have a song called "Darwin Award Winner" | RevengeFromMars YouTube | ||
| Perky Turkey | This came up because a girl flashed us, and if you didn't watch out, those "Perky Turkeys" would poke your eye out. | Michael | ||
| Permanent Nomad | You see, nomads move around a lot so you could still be a Permanent Nomad. I just think it's funny. | Elizabeth | ||
| Perrywinkle | It sounds interesting while sitting in baking class. | Shakia Diamond | ||
| Person of Walmart | Some weird cross between the CBS show Person of Interest and the website People of Walmart. | JeReMy | ||
| Personal Space Invaders | A cross between personal space, and the video game Space Invaders, I got the idea from a t-shirt that a friend of mine had that had Garfield on the front saying you're invading my personal space. It sounds so modern and hip. I think because we are becoming an overcrowded world and every one is always complaining about not having enough space or time for themselves. I think they would kind of techno or "new wave" like the 80s bands like The Cars or maybe Blondie. I even came up with a title for their debut album, Nowhere To HIde. | Ed | ||
| Personal Strangers | Old band I played in.... We thought we could hand out condoms for when you got "personal with a stranger"........ Though it was a cool name | Greg | ||
| Personification of Hate | Sounds Emo right? Well, I was going for that | Cpt. Neeb | ||
| The Perturbed | A fine possible name for a midwestern punk band. A band to be feared - and respected! | Ammie | ||
| The Perturbed Ones | A teen punk rock band inspired by their parent's constant nagging and high demands of adolescents in today's society! Basically your average punkers! | Pigertaws | ||
| Pervert Croquet | On BBCThree's Russell Howard's Good News, host Russell Howard called a martial art of lift weights with one's penis and swinging them "pervert croquet". | JeReMy | ||
| The Peso Takers | Mexican Banditos! Yay! The world needs more of them! How cool would that be-- a mexican rock band! They could weAR like Zorro masks or something! | Pigertaws |
