Names -> Cool Band Names -> R, 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.

RoughKut		We were all sitting around trying to come up with a band name. We had to have a name before that weekend. One of the guys in the band looked around and said, "What about Rough Cut? We all look like we need a cut and a shave." We all laugh about it, but the name stuck with us, we just made a change in the way it was spelled. Now we call ourself The RoughKut Band.		Donna Terry

A Round Tuit		I remember when my art teacher gave his students a cut-out circle with this message: "This is a round tuit, a memory tool. Every time you need to memorize something you need to do, you will get 'a round tuit'." Didn't work for me.		rocknroll
Roundhouse Emily		This was the cross street where the drummer in a band I was in lived. We were going to name the band this but the band never got off the ground. Too bad, I designed the coolest logo I had ever created for this band. To this day one of the coolest I have ever seen if do say so myself.		Zymurgy
RoundTriangle		When I was a kid I could never come up with the word oval, so I would just call it round triangle. And that word has always stuck....sounds cool for a popfolk type band		AnnieBannieWannie

Royal Flush		Just cause it's sounds awesome		H2OBoy

The Rubber Band		I see a lot of people at my school obssesed with rubberbands now a days. It has the word "Band" in it also. It just sounds cool. The Rubber Band. TRB		Johnny
The Rubber Banjos		Sort of what you get if you put "rubber band" and "banjos" together, as a "before and after" combination.		D. Melody Dole, MD

Rudolph Bites The Dust		Christmas party in math class; rudolph the red nosed reigndeer was playing for the hundreth time, and i got to doodling my way out of boredom. Santa ends up shooting Rudolph and strapping him to the hood of his truck. Besides being an absolutely amazing drawing, the name stuck in my mind as a good punk band name		Scruff McGruff
Rudolph The Red Nosed Elk		A friend sent me a picture he took at a Christmas show. In the picture someone had mounted the head of an elk, with a red "nose" affixed to it, trying to represent Rudolph the red nosed reindeer. But anyone familiar with the deer family could readily tell the difference. Reindeer and elk are rather distantly related in the context of the deer family, and their differences are quite apparent in terms of both coloration, and in terms of antler shape when they bear well-developped antlers, as the elk head in question did.		Mary Byram
Rules of Engagement		A really cool war term that would be amazing for a punk/hard rock band. Came up with it with my friend at lacrosse.		Shane

Rumpled Silk Skins		A play on Rumpelstiltskin, the famed story or a girl and her magical dwarf. When you have rumpled silk skins, that can't be good.		Rockin' Roller
Run Over Bob		A guy we new named Bob that actually got run over not once, but twice, and he has lived to tell the story.		Ryan
Run, Jason, Run!		Yes, it includes the punctuation. It's kind of like "run, Forrest, run!" but in cooler name terms.		Syd
Runcible		It's another far better name for a spoon-fork. Some variants of runcibles have knives on them, too. I saw one at Taco Bell once and my friend called me Runcible for the rest of the trip. Others said that a spoon/fork was a Spork, but isn't Spork some sort of meat owned by Hormel?		Jon
Runnaway Busridin' Brides of Albuquerque		They could could wear frumpy addidas joggers and a bulky knit sweaters draped over their heads and play the nightclub circut from Georgia to Las Vegas to New Mexico. Everyone in the country would desparately be on the lookout for them but the most likely place to find them is near a payphone in the Albuquerque Bus Station		Badboybear
Running Jackets		Two of my roomies had their jackets missing from the living room, and we joked around that maybe the jackets ran off by themselves. I thought that would be cool to have a band with that name.		Alpha
Running Kickstart		well i was kickstarting my dirt bike and i had to get a running start!		Koz
Running With Love		I was looking at band names and one was "Running With Scissors." I thought of "Running With Love" because, sometimes, love can be more dangerous than anything else, for it is the only thing that can break your heart and, to me, that is the most painful thing in the world.		Alyce
Running With Scissors		well this was my bands old name a verry long time ago but we then changed it to sticker		Dillon Meredith
Running with Scissors		My parents/Teachers always told me not to run with scissors when I was a little kid, and thus, the contradiction of authority is implicit to the band name.		Joey
Running With Scissors		I think its cool cuz teachers would always say "don't run with scissors. By doing it your like a rebel, so a band that does stupid stuff even thought there told not too is detined to have a name like this.		tinkerbell
Running With Scissors		I dunno, a coupla years ago as I was walking w/scissors in my hand, "Running With Scissors" just popped into my head		Nicole

Ruptured Splene		punk band name that rocks some one should use this name		joe momma
Rush Delivery		I always see Rush Delivery Avalible on TV for stuff and i thought it up		Will

Ryan Succop		If Brian Anger is the most awsome name for an NFL punter, then Ryan Succop is the most dubious name for an NFL placekicker (if he doesn't have enough problems being a kicker).		MOR
Ryan Vomited On Me		Ewww...		J
