Names -> Cool Band Names -> P, Page 4
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.

At one point he said, "Sorrowfully, your daughter was involved in the Pixi Stick Disaster on the bus number 5226. .."

| Pixieland Band | A pun on the term "Dixieland band", a pretty much generic term, although actual bands have had both "Dixieland" and "band" in their names. Just what would constitute "Pixieland" music as represented by "Pixieland Band" would be curious to find out. | Blake DeKalb | ||

I heard her say of herself and her travel companions something that sounded for all the world like "We had pizza hyena."

| Planet Dearth | The word "dearth" (rhymes with "earth") means "scarcity" or "famine."

Anyway, I like playing with words (e.g. Y.A.M.S. for You Are My Sunshine, C.U.T.S. for Clogging Up The Sink....) so I decided to put this up. Playing with words gives me a kick whenever I find a good one, like Y.A.M.S., C.U.T.S., L.I.V.E. (Life is Very Entertaining)... you get the picture. | Raedyn | ||
| Playing In Traffic | Nothing screams "rock/metal" like intense or dangerous situations (for band names), and what's more dangerous than playing in traffic? | R. U. Obsest | ||
