Names -> Cool Band Names -> P, Page 6
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 P, Page 6

Name | Origin | Submitted by: | ||
| Power Tard | I actually saw this written on a bus somewhere in Canada. I think it's supposed to be a type of engine or something, but I think it would make a better band name. | Kerry | ||
| The Poweyraiders | I came up with this name oneday because my friends and I wanted a group name like the Power Rangers. We picked The Poweraiders because each of were drinking a different colored Powerade. | Ajg | ||
| Pownstars | "Powned" is like "played and owned". It sounds like "pornstar", so yea. | adam | ||
| Poyzon | It's a rendition of Poison, and it is like Mudvayne. I am actually trying to create a band for the name. I got stung by a wasp, and this is how I got the name. | S.T.G. | ||
| pr0n | Because pr0n is porno and everybody likes it. | WoOy | ||
| Praalinay | I have a friend who says words weird (sometimes she means to, sometimes she doesn't). Anyway, this was her take on the word 'praline'. | Alice | ||
| Practicing Puberty | You know its funny, because kids usually get scared when they are going through puberty, why would you want to practice it? | Nich | ||
| Prairie Rehab | Bluegrass band name derived from signs in the median of the interstates around urban midwestern areas. | Mr Spooty | ||
| Pray The Pros | The local paper had a contest called "Play The Pros", where you could pick the winners of NFL games, then send the form to the paper's address to win money. One time, I had a Freudian slip and said "Pray The Pros". , ironic since one had to pray to get all of the games right.. :) | Hollywood Outsider | ||
| Pre-empts Regular Programming | What TV Guide listings use to say between brackets (70s and 80s) when a certain show was not to be seen that evening because of specials (the networks also used to announce this). A perfect name for a band that subs at the last minute for an established group. | T.V. | ||
| The Pre-Owned | Instead of The Used, since "pre-owned" is a term occasionally used to describe stuff that is purchased used. | JeReMy | ||
| The Prefects | This name should be used by a band of rebelious types-making a sarcastic statement on the "A-students" & "leaders" of high school. I came up with it when I was having a conversation with my dad about how Prefects at my school are over-rated, and not as 'perfect' as everyone sees them. (Everyone has a history) It occured to me that a band named "The Prefects" would be a perfect & clear message that anyone can be looked up to, in matter of their act. Just because someone has a label meaning something of high status, doesn't mean they totally deserve better standards of quality than you. | Krystelle | ||
| The Pregnant Chads | Remember the Florida voting scandal from the last presidential election? The pregnant chads are the raised areas on ballots that causes the vote count to be inaccurate. | whiteviolet | ||
| Premature Death | I came up with this as I was writing a song, I was writing something about being born premature. Then I thought 'PREMATURE DEATH' and it makes sense. But it doesn't at the same time. Awesome heavy metal name. | MOUSEY MAN | ||
| The Preps | I came up with it as a prospective band name for my band, since we're going to be freshmen. Because at our school, being a freshman is called being a "prep." | sexiibassist | ||
| Prescription Sandwich | One girl I used to work with claimed she had got sandwiches on prescription. She also once claimed she was abducted by aliens and served alien stew for tea. You get the picture. | JimboPagieboy | ||
| The Presence | It is cool coz its kinda spooky | mt2406 | ||
| Press Play | I came up with this a few years ago in 4th or 5th grade:2004 and 2006. When some one asked who it was, you'd answer, "Just Press Play." Since then I made a logo and came up with CD names/covers... but alas, I have no band... or musically inclined friends | K@ Raisor | ||
| Pretend It's The End | Me and my friend made up like a billion band names, some good and some crazy, and then i just thought of this one, which i liked very much ;p | Lakkaball | ||
| Pretty Big PLunger | We we're sitting around playing with the trombone players plunger head that he uses as a mute. Then the King of Fear was like "that's a pretty big plunger" then beans was like "you're a pretty big plunger" then i was like "pretty big plunger!" then it was our band name. www.prettybigplunger.com | Matt Robertshaw | ||
| Pretty Good, I Guess | Well, my unnamed band has had only 3 practices (in half a year) I think we sound PRETTY GOOD, I GUESS. | SamVK | ||
| Pretty Icky | when i saw this show this baby was born with two pelvises and 4 legs and i thought too myself "that's pretty icky"then i said that could be an awsome band name. | hamp | ||
| Pretzel Sticks | I came up with it while I was eating some pretzel sticks in my friends basement at our first band practice. | clayton | ||
| Pretzels Ink | I was at my friends house and I was eating pretzels out of this tube thing like the thing for mini doritos. I started to shake it and my friend was clicking here pen. We thought that it sounded cool so we decided to start a band with be playing the pretzels and her playing a pen. We decided on the name Pretzels Ink bacause I play the pretzels and there's ink in pen so Pretzels Ink. | agnes | ||
| Prey For Whirled Peas | *Credit to my math teacher. | Jay Lingo | ||

| Priest On Fire | Hell Yeahhh!!!!! | Malus | ||
| PriestStalker | Here in BC there is a punk Band called Nunstalker that broke up. I just thought if nuns can get stalked why can't priests? | Dimitri | ||
| Primal Ground | Sounds important and tough. I've seen a sign saying "Primitive Camping Ground" and thought of Primitive Ground first. But I prefer Primal. | josh slone | ||
| Primarily Negative | Found it in a parent training book as a heading describing teenage behavior | hippichic | ||
| Prime Sinister | I changed the M to an S. Smashing! | Rick | ||
| Primordial Lumpiness | I found it while i was reading a boring thing for chemistry. it said something about the elements being formed from "a primordial lumpiness", and there it is! | Manwitdaplan | ||

| The Principals Of Lust | You mean there's actually a school of lust?! | Open Mike Knight | ||

| Private Ice | Sounds really cool. (get it?) | Mark | ||
| prizedoor103 | Prizedoor103 -- what more can you say about it? | Elie | ||
| PRNDL | It's on everyone's steering column. | Katz | ||
| Pro Nuclear Whale Killers Wearing Mink | I wanted a name that would piss off every special interest group in the country, subsequently achieving mass publicity. And as we all know, ANY publicity, good or bad, is priceless. This name will offend the Greenpeace people, the No-Nukes crowd, and the animal rights wackos. I guess the only people I left out were the gays & lesbians. Feel free to inflict your own variations on the name to include them, too. | Scott | ||
| Pro@tion | We made it up doing school. we looked on a video player and it it said provision........... we diidn't like it so we cahnged it to pro@tion. since it sounds like creation, we made the meaning opposite of creation,which is nontheless whatever you want to think.............. | A.J. | ||
| Probed | we think it's cool cos this word is asscociated with aliens and aliens are cool | rik | ||

| Project Deadbolt | saw it on a plate on the door of my hotel room. it was in a sentence describing how to work the locks on the door. "project" was a verb, but use it as a noun here and it sounds like an awesome prog rock band or something | kdogg^3 | ||
| Project EVE | My guy bestfriend's band name is Adam's Blasphemy and he is looking for a girl band counterpart. He ask me, if I could come up for a perfect all girls' band name. Since they're named Adam's Blasphemy, I thought of the name Project EVE. Cool right? | Brutal Angel | ||
| Project Mayhem | It comes from the movie "FIGHT CLUB". In the movie, members of the fight club form into Project Mayhem, a cult that trains itself as an army to bring down modern civilization. Basically, I like that it is anti-establishment sounding. It could be the name of a hardcore punk band or something. ( There is already a band called Mayhem that plays Death Metal) | johnny | ||
| Project Sephiroth | I tried thinking up of cool names, and I stumbled to this one, since it references the well known FFVII character known as Sephiroth. | DJ Kaito | ||

But then I was told my friend the lead singer wanted to name it Carnage, after his favorite "Spiderman" villain. So therefore, we came up with Projekt Carnage. (Don't take it, it's mine.) | Keller | ||
| Prokaska | My teacher changed her name to Prokaska...and I told her it sounded like a rock band name! So now it's stuck and if I ever have a band, I'm calling it Prokaska. | Ari | ||
| Prom Afterparty! | I just like it. =D It sounds happy. | MC Hammer | ||
| Prom For Sharks | One night while I was drawing, I drew a shark in a dress. Don't ask why. | Lewis Jacques | ||
| Prom Villain | Well I thought about, what if there were people at a prom that wanted to ruin the night because not everyone likes the prom, they would be the villains of the story. Hense the name. It's sweet. | Shadow | ||
| Prometheus Bound | This is a Greek tragedy about a dude who tried to do the right thing for his common man. But the gods didn't quite see it that way so they chained him to a rock while an eagle ate his liver. | MSRhodes | ||
| Proof Of Purchase | My brother and I were thinking of band names. I thought about things that you would see at a store. "Barcodes" I said, but that just wasn't good enough, it didn't sound right. Then I said "proof of purchase", and it was perfect! | Beeran & Deevid | ||

| Prosthetic Foreheads | Kinda a tribute to that old "They might be Giants" song. Something to wear over your're real head. | The Roach | ||
| Prosthetic Limb | This name is cool for a band | Rumel | ||
| Prosthetic Mistress | This is for all the sad emo kids who need a girlfriend or gheyfriend. Try using it around the house to see what your family thinks: "Honey, does our insurance cover my prosthetic mistress?" | Gabe Dellafera | ||
| Prostitution | (352)-997-3131. $1 per minute. Sale ends 10-31-03. Bring out the animal in you just in time for Halloween! | Stacy | ||
| The Proteinaceous Nuggets | This name came from one of my biology professors. This is how she referred to goslings who were vulnerable to predation. I thought it sounded like a cool band name. | Raphael | ||
| Protostar | idk it just came to mind. | marcy (screen name) | ||
| Prototype Bob | My school band was trying to come up with a name for a tongueing excercise. Someone came up with the idea "Bob", and I suggested "Prototype Bob". Then I realized it was awesome for a metal band. | MarKotsay7 | ||
| Proves the Rule | This band is likely to be the exception. | RevengeFromMars YouTube | ||

| Prozac and the Happy People | This is my band's old name... I was Prozac, and my bassist, guitarist, keyboardist, and drummer were the Happy People. We were throwing around names, and this one was popular... then again, so was 'Four Men and An Alien from the Toaster'... since I'm the only chick, I got to be the alien.. don't I feel loved?? | Tiajuana | ||
| Prozac Popping Property Peddlers | I just thought that this would be a nice new alliterative incarnation for bands with names like "Sunny Day Real Estate"! :-) | Brian Herget | ||
| Ps | Like Korn only a different veggie! | Pigertaws | ||
| The Pseudo-Penises | I dunno, this sort of makes a good rock band name. | Danny | ||
| The Pseudomorphs | Sometimes a mineral within a confined space in a rock is altered over time into a different mineral. Sometimes the confined space forces the new mineral to take on a geometrical shape reflecting the old mineral's crystal structure rather then the new mineral's own crystal structure. Such a mineral specimen so shaped for a previous mineral's structure is called a pseudomorph. Yesterday I was thinking how The Pseudomorphs might make a good band name, mainly because it just sounds neat. But it could also metaphorically say something about the band's history. | Toni Minot | ||
| Pseudonic Absolution | Pseudo means "false" and Absolution means "forgiveness" like when your friend told you that they forgive you. Or that what you said didn't hurt them, and they put on a fake smile. | B-Fresh McGee | ||

| The Psycho Circle | A slight change of a KISS album title. | GlamRockNinjaLord | ||

| Psycho DeBergerac | For a long time I thought it'd be a great name for a late 1980's Alternative band. One time I even did an album cover for Psycho DeBergerac as an art project. The album was called 'Dressing In Tongues' and featured wire frame drawings of the mythical band members (three of them) dressed in clothing which I cut from foreign language dictionaries. | drlondon | ||
| Psycho Drive | This is M. Bison's Superpower in "Super Street Fighter". | TTwoo | ||

| Psycho Hamster(s) | Based on a line I coined at work, about work, where "people here have all the sense of a psychotic hamster". But I'm not decided on whether to add an 's' or not. You decide for yourself. | something clever | ||
