Names -> Cool Band Names -> P, Page 5

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.

The Poindexters		this sounds too good to not be take already, but I thought of it while watching Revenge of the Nerds. The scene in the end where they do the musical competition and Poindexter's all punked out and playing the violin. i love poindexter and I thought it would be cool for a punk or geek rock band. Now to convince my bandmates of the same.....		........I'll never tell

The Pop Culture		It just seems really cool. I don't know. It just does.		SamVK

Popcorn The Baptist Animal		I was at a natural history museum, and near where I was, a group of kids were looking at some mounted animals on display there. I overheard one kid say what sounded for all the world like "Popcorn, the Baptist animal". Naturally, such a randomly whimsical stringing together of words made me curious as to what he might actually have said. I thought I probably would never find out. But after that group of kids moved on I saw what exhibit they had been near when the baffling exclamation was made. The exhibit included a pronghorn, an animal of western North America, sometimes inaccurately called "antelope" (true antelopes being strictly native to the "old world"). Pronghorns are known for ability to run at extreme speeds. Then it suddenly occurred to me that the kid probably has said "Pronghorn, the fastest animal". On the way home I suddenly thought, Ah, my mishearing of that could make a good Cool Band Names submission! Often the beauty of misheard lyrics and ideas from other mishearings is that they give us phrases so random-appearing and cliche-free that one simply couldn't possibly contrive them. Without the mishearing, I doubt that anyone could ever just sit down and dream up a phrase so chaotically off-the-wall. Furthermore, as a potential band name, a phrase like this would be virtually certain to not be already taken.		D. Melody Dole, MD
Popcult!		Play on Pop Culture, naturally--cultures, if practiced heavily enough, can turn into a cult. Pop Culture-ure=Pop Cult. Make that one word, and tack on an exclamation point--Popcult! Yay! This just sounds cool, dunno why really, but I can imagine a pop art picture and the logo in comic book style letters. Hella awesome.		eVan Gonzalez
Pope Cathy The Gay Bagelizer		I was stoned befor the new pope electon and my friend Sean(mono-brow) asked me who i wanted to become pope so I said that and we p***ed ourselves laughing for an hour (kids, don't drink more than 6 redbulls at a time)		Frankie guess who
Popeye Married Bluto		The idea of two very manly characters as married gay sweethearts sounds like way cool beans to me.		Sparkina
Popeye's Chicken & The Biscuits		I was eating Popeye's the other day, and I was like, 'Hey that's a f***in' cool name for a band. I might actually use it for my band, I'm not sure though. [Ed's note: I would first try to get permission from Popeye's HQ.		walksman
PoppyVine		Poppy and Vine are just cool names. Poppy is a flower that grows and has thousands of seeds that spreads its seeds. A Vine spreads and just keeps going. The two combined has meaning in different ways. They both spread.		Tonya
Popular Nobody		I'm not popular at school but everybody says I'm the coolest person they know.So that makes me a popular nobody.		Acasha
The Porch Monkeys		There were these guys across the street playing on the porch.

Positive Negative Men		Named after an episode of THE AVENGERS. One of the best episodes (with one of the most creative villains), and a pretty cool name at that.		Todd W. Zimmerman
Posse		why it is cool because posse is like another word to use for group or band. So Posse is just another way of saying it. How I came up with it is i listen to a group called the insane clown posse. I thought of posse as a group or band name so i thoght posse sounds cool.		Adam Siders

Possible Paradox		I've always been fascinated by paradoxes. So whenever I think up song titles or band names I try to enclose a paradox in it. However, that is too easy, so I try to let the name contain two words that start with the same letter. The paradox here: a paradox constitutes an impossibility, hence can't be possible. Call it the paradox of paradoxes.		TowerU
