Names -> Cool Band Names -> T, 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.

Name		Origin		Submitted by:
Tempral Warfare		Just think about it with me for a sec. Tempral as in time, warfare as in, well, if you dont know thats sad. It would be the most exciting war ever! people hiding in different eras and staging battles there :)		Cpt. Neeb
Ten Cents A Screw		The punchline to a joke I heard in grade 4, but never understood until a few years ago when I was thinking about it.		Left of Centre
Ten Foot Midget		When I was in 9th grade, my English teacher told us to think of an oxymoron, and that's what I thought of.		Liz
Ten Inch ToeNails		Its cool because its a step up from Nine Inch Nails. We didn't really think about it. It just popped up out of nowhere. And in short form it says (TIT) Tee He He.		Kyco
Ten Men Like Clouseau		"Give me ten men like Clouseau and I could destroy the world" is the quote this comes from.		Alan the Ottoman
Ten Plus Colder		I heard it on a local weather forecast.		Floyd DeBarber
Ten PM Stocker		It's cool sounding. It was also a name Linkin Park was considering at one time before becoming famous. They got it because they were recording on a street called Stocker Street and their neighbors would tell them to shut up around ten P.M. Still, it's cool and unused.		Bob
Ten Thousand Aces		It's an old dice game-and it's fun to play.		I.M.Ded
Ten Thousand Minds On Fire		It came up in a response to one of my internet searches. Thought it sounded cool.		G
Ten-Four and the Good Buddies		The origin is 1970's CB Jargon. I heard that CB radios were now popular amongs cruising gay guys, so there's kind of a double entendre there as well. Figured this would be a good name for a Redneck/New Country version of the Village People that would have a truck driver, a farmer, a NASCAR driver, a car mechanic and a cowboy.		Jonny Quest
Ten-O-Six		It's the name of this deep pore cleanser I use. I thought it might be kinda cool to name a band.		.*.*.Krista.*.*.
Tender Bellyflesh		After tackling my husband and engaging in a knock-down, drag-out roughhousing match (and yeah, I know I am supposed to be too old to do that) I emerged triumphant. As I was bouncing around the house whooping because I won, he yelled, "You didn't win, you cheat! You stuck your claws in my tender belly flesh!" Struck me as the perfect name for an Emo-Punk band. P.S. I did TOO win.		Jen
Tendon and Schlong		On Bizarre Foods America, Andrew Zimmern said that an ox penis soup had tasted "meaty and waxy" which, according to Zimmern, is what to expect with "tendon and schlong"		JeReMy
The Tenth Project		I just thought this was a pretty sweet name		Ben Jammin
Tephra		"Tephra" is falling rock and lava from volcanos, and it just sounds cool, kind of like "Tesla".		Awood
Tequila Mockingbird		It's another tequila sunrise. Could be a name for a (melancholy) rock or country-western group.		Casper
Tequila Mockingbirds		Sort of a play on the movie "To Kill A Mockingbird".		hard69rock
Tequila Worm Saints		Named in honor of all those college students who spring break south of the border, and especially those who eat the worm in the tequila and experience a transcendental enlightenment then pass out and forget where they have been, or done the past 4 days and have to be treated for a case of the "crabs"!		badboybear
Terd		The name sounds like Korn or Creed but more punk. It would be really punk if the "e" was backwards.		CED
Teriyaki Donut		The name of a restaurant at the Del Amo Mall in Torrence, CA.		glitterglue
Terminal Velocity		its what happens when your reaching the fastest speed possible on a decent.....surely you'd like to be listening to some music before you hit the bottom..............		Dhiv
Terminal Vertigo		its a cool band name in my opinion. Well for my old band that lasted about a week, our name was Terminal Conflict, then i was like Vertigo sounds cool so *BAM* Terminal Vertigo :)		JouteiMike
Terminally Lewd		My friend thought this name up; imagine a band so decadent that they are bound to die from sheer debauchery. Think Guns-n-Roses muliplied by G.G. Allin and you're in the right neighborhood.		Jason Reeher
Termination of Existence		Definiton for demise		Hope P.
Terminator Jesus		I theorize that if SkyNet really wanted to screw with humanity, what better way than to fake the second coming of Christ with a hopped up Terminator unit. Equipped with Stigmata blasters, flaming tongue sword, hands on defibrillator units and walk on water anti gravity feet it would convince most people. Hell, John Conner would walk right in to the embrace of the Savior Target terminated. Heavy Metal, or Punk.		Xerxes
TerpsiCorey		Well in case u haven't guessed my name is Corey...i play keyboards and do vocals Terpsichore was the greek muse of song maybe this is also a way to say the MUSE ROCK		Corey in sussex
Terra Incognita		This was actually thought up by my friend, (the drummer) for our soon-to-be band. It sounds cool, its also got good significance, cause we are travelling through "unknown territory"		leadguitarist
Terrible Music		If your band suck - this is an example how to sound cool		tonio
Terrified Amateurs		I was listening to a song from the Mikado and heard this.		Fred Heimann
Terror Dactylos		'cause it's a pun on Pterodactylos, the flying dinosaur (the best known, anyway) - and it has "terror" in it, which makes it sound like an 80's heavy metal band.		Haverholm
Terror Firma		Instead of "terra firma" which is Latin for "solid ground"		JeReMy
Test of nerve		I have a big poster in my room, containing names for different names for roadsigns, and my and my m8s were trying to think of a good name for our band, so i looked at the poster and i said 'test of nerve'!!!!		Tom Harding
Test-tickle		WE DON'T KNOW HOW WE CAME UP WITH THAT ONE! DON'T ASK!If you don't get it, read it real slowly!		Josh
Testament Of Darkness		Always sounded like a cool band name to me and my buds.		rickydcheese
The Testicools		Aggressive....but cool.		Mike Lydic
Testicular Fortitude		My buddies and I were wondering how strong our (testicles) were, so we hit them with hammers...softly. But it did the trick. [Ed.'s note: Kids, please don't try this at home.]		Michael Cozywolfe
Testicular Homicide		For some reason I used to say "testicular torsion" and "vehicular homicide" a lot in 9th grade (how or why the world may never know) and once i mixed the two and just kept saying it. i thought it could be a cool band name,		microgal
Testicular Homicide		Nothing like getting kicked in the b***s and not know who did it.		jantastic
Testicular Sound Express		It was one of Peter's ideas for a band name on Family Guy!!!!!		CrAzY JaMeS!!!!!
Testtube Tomato		It's an awesome name. I was reading a magazine and saw two articles next to each other. The last word in one was Testtube, and the first word in the next was Tomato.		Chris K
TEW		Acronym for That's Even Worse. A couple kids in my class and I were talking about random stuff and the subject of Chicken Little came up. One guy said, "The sky is falling! The sky is falling!" The other guy said, "No it isn't, it's just aliens attacking." I finished it off with, "THAT'S EVEN WORSE!!!"		Douglas Bucksworth aka D.B.
Texan Lemonade		???		GlamRockNinjaLord
Texan Violence		Similar to "sex and violence" but with the sex replaced by cowboy hats. Is "thrash-country" a genre?		RevengeFromMars YouTube
The Texas Alien Secret		It is so funny sounding that I had to put it on here!		G
The Texas Chainsaw Musical		Come on, just imagine it! Chainsaws, blood, music, Texas! Leatherface doing a solo mid way through the film! Or a rendition of Cannibal Corpse's "Meat Hook Sodomy".		nik
Texas Death Row		I saw a documentary on the subject. It could be either a political statement or the name of a metal band or both.		Rich
Texas Medicine		Bob Dylan lyric "One was Texas medicine the other was just railroad gin"		Angels & Fusilage
The Texas Nexus		Just something I came up with in the last few days, I like it because it's a rhyming name. They'd be a band that plays Southern-fried country rock.		Edward

"THAT ONE BAND!!!" I came up with it because I was bored and thinking too deeply about the meanings of words.		Pankeyke

That Sullen Abstraction		Yeah, It's pretty long. But many of my other musician friends liked it a bit. But I ended up deciding not to use it. I used an online band name generator to come up with a few of the words. Nevertheless, it's still original. Don't ask me what it means.		dumb

The Them		Well, same goes with this as with "The They". But it's also taken from Good Omens (a book by Gneil and Pterry), there's a group of kids there that call themselves Them.		Kaniini
Them		Note to Stefani: Them was the name of Van Morrison's (ask a grownup) first band back in the mid-sixties. Their popular songs were "Gloria" and "Here Comes The Night". Find Them, listen. You will enjoy Them. haha		Misguided Murdock

Each group would vote on changes but the professionals or the "third estate" were the ones who didn't have anything to lose so they wanted change in goverment.
