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: | ||
Tumor Humor | I think it would make a good name for a band that mocks social values. It is a rhyme from George Carlin. | Mike | ||
Tums Up | It's from Your Grammar Sucks. Someone meant to write "thumbs up" but misspelled "thumbs" | JeReMy | ||
Tuna Casserole | I ate some tuna casserole a few minutes ago. | The Mole | ||
Tundra Wookie | Ever been to Alaska? Well with the ratio of men to women at 10:1 and all the women are over 300 pounds this is what my friends and I like to call the Women here. Picture a flat faced, toothless eskimo standing next to an iceburg. | Inner Echo | ||
Tune Down | It is cool because one day I was watchig Pokemon and my mommy walked up to me with a glass of milk and dropped in on my pants. Then my mommy said for me to "TUNE DOWN" my crying. I got with my friends, Wiley, Jessie, and Scotty, and we made guitars out of cardboard boxes and we made drums out of buckets. We played every day until now. We want to hit it big at the age of 6. | Cobbie | ||
Tune-A-Fish | ella | |||
The Tune-amint | Or "Tunamint". This name I made up is inspired by the southern twang of Hootie Johnson, president of the Augusta Country Club in Georgia (home of the Masters golf tournament). At a press conference, he tried to explain his policy on banning women from the country club and the the Masters. But instead of saying "tournament", he said something that came out as "tunamint". He deservedly was the butt of sports radio talk show hosts nationwide. And did I mention the "tune" part is appropo for a Southern rock band? | Southern | ||
Tunguska | The name of a great game I have just finished playing on the PC! Also, the site of the 20th Century's most devastating cosmic impact. | Jayne Beaumont | ||
The Tunnel Kings | From "The Great Escape". Steve McQueen's character was known as the 'Tunnel King". | tedski | ||
Tunnel of Dysfunction | Would be a good hard metal name.. I thought of it once when coming out of work, I noticed my car & my 2 best friends' cars lined up perfectly parallel off to the side away from all the other cars..Struck us funny at the time... | Retail Worker Gone Postal | ||
Tupac Is Alive and We Have Proof | Fun Name. Their short name could be "Tupac Proof" | Yangster | ||
Turbo Slut | Well, this is actually my band's name. But I like it because, well, for one it sounds cool, and it has the word slut in it. As Eric from "That 70's Show" says, "No man can turn down a slut". The 'turbo' just sounds kick a**. | paddydapmiesta(patrick townsend) | ||
Turbovoice | It sounds fast and the term 'voice' makes the band sound like it can speak and relate to the people who listen to them. | David | ||
Turbulance | im not actually sure if it isn't a real band's name....but anyway, I was on a plane and we had some....i thought it would be good for a punk/rock band.... | bEaNi | ||
Turbulent Space | Words coined by Bob Dylan in his song "Jokerman" The term wants to paint a word picture in the mind, but it's hard to imagine empty space filled with turbulence. How could you tell when there's nothing to feel or compare it to? ...And it really sounds cool too. | Gary Gray | ||
Turdis | I saw a porta potty that looked like the TARDIS from Doctor Who that was called the Turdis. | JeReMy | ||
Turducken | Think about it, man! It's a chicken inside a duck inside a turkey. That translates to ROCK AND ROLL! | Pepito | ||
Turkey Racism | Someone from my church shared an article on Facebook. in which some guy claimed not eating dark meat on turkey meant you were racist. BTW the guy shared it on Facebook to make fun of the article. | JeReMy | ||
Turning the Tables | I think it's very interesting and alliterated. | Winter Pepper | ||
The Turtle Revolution | Turtles Rule! | Turtle Higgons | ||
Twelve Gauge Valentine | it just poped into my head one dday | bobby | ||

Twigllight | It's a misspelling of Twilight seen on Your Grammar Sucks | JeReMy | ||
Twilight Under The Canopy | A line from Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight." It got attached to me, and I decided to name my band it. Plus, who couldn't pass off the abbreviacions, TUTC? | Haleigh | ||
Twin Decision | So, I was watching the Dolan Twins on YouTube (check them out, btw) and they mentioned making a "twin decision", and I thought it would be a cool name for a duo of twins! | wand erection | ||
Twinkie and The Kids | Because of Twinkie The Kid from Hostess baked goods fame. | Thor Lowerdahl | ||
The Twinkie Defense | Another band name with Twinkie in it, because Dan White said his addiction to Twinkies caused hin to kiill Harvey Milk and Mayor Moscone in San Francisco. | Thor Lowerdahl | ||
Twisted Armenian String Cheese | I came up with this one about 20 years ago, never could get any of my bands to agree to it. I was in a bunch of bands like Angel Patrol and Flashback. It's cheese, dude. String Cheese Incident stole my dairy thunder, I'd say. Back to the cutting board. . . | cat | ||
Twisted Biscuit | I was playing Mahjong and one of the characters on a tile looked like a twisted biscuit. My son and his friend were thinking up names for a garage band and I thought twisted biscuit sounded good. kind of a parody on twisted sister and Limp Bizkit! | Tom | ||
Twisted Fate | I was listening to "Unforgiven" by Creed, and it says "lost sight of the irony of twisted faith." And I thought they said 'fate' instead of 'faith'. So I thought it would be a cool band name. | Cheryl | ||
Twisted Metal | Or The Body Bags or Broken Glass. Sitting in Drivers' Ed., they were talking about them at the scene of a crash. | Justin | ||
Twisted Pair | "Twisted pair" is the ordinary copper wire that connects home and many business computers to the telephone company (www.whatis.com)." I always thought it sounded like a rock group (borrowing from "Twisted Sister" -- a group I've never heard and probably don't want to). | Roger Haun | ||
Twisted Perfection | I was reading a review from the latest Tool album, and I saw these two words together, and I was like sick!! Sweet band name. | Sgt. Baker | ||
Twisted Polly | Eh, it was a type PF rope. Can't get better then that. | Gangsha | ||
Twisted Spring | My friend told me, its a bit ironice as a spring has to be twisted, im just syaing for the slow people amoung you! | Tolps | ||
Twistleflex | I remeber in the 70's when stretchy metal watchbands came out a company (I want to say Timex) came up with this wierd term to promote their new type of band. I'm not positive it was Tistleflex but I like I said it was the 70's and that's what I remember it as being called. | Pat | ||
Twits of Fate | Like "twist of fate" but with twisted letters in the first word. | RevengeFromMars YouTube | ||
Twizzle | There was a foreign student in one of my classes last year, and my teacher was giving out Twizzlers for people who answered her questions right. The foreign student answered something right, but the teacher forgot to give her a reward, so she said "I want a twizzle". Yeah, I dunno, it sounded really cool so it just kind of stuck in my head. | Chelsie | ||
Two Ampules of Anything | When I told someone of my band name idea "Two Ampules of Whoopass", they responded by saying "Two Ampules of anything would be a good band name" (meaning "anything" as more of a blank to fill), to which I responded by saying "Actually, Two Ampules of Anything would be a good name". | JeReMy | ||
Two Ampules of Whoopass | It came from an episode of World's Dumbest | JeReMy | ||
Two and Half Minute Double Entedre | It's a reference to the AC/DC song "Big Balls", which is basically a 2 1/2 minute double entendre, as the song can be referring to two different kinds of balls. | JeReMy | ||
Two Bags of Hefty | Inscrutable, but with commercial appeal. Product tie-ins unlimited. | Jim | ||
The Two Bit Band | Thats what you feel like the day after the show: 2 bits (25 cents) | Barry | ||
Two Broken Picks And A Stick Through The Head | Well, it sounds like the name of a psycho band. Got the inspiration from my own band's rehearsal. God, our equipment sucks. | No Hero | ||
Two Chickens To Paralyze | Why not name a band after a mondegreen? This popular misquote from Eddie Money's "Two Tickets To Paradise" would be a perfect name for an alt-country-rock band. | Gene Splicer | ||
Two Day Nation | In my ninth grade history class, our final project was to do a report on China, Japan, or some country in southeast Asia. Two days before the project was due, a new country called East Timor was officially declared a country. I did a report on it. | Cessi | ||
Two Dollar Buckets | Across the bridge from where I live in El Paso, Texas, there's Ciudad Juarez, home of two dollar buckets of beer. | Chuck Fensch | ||
Two Dollar Horse | A few years ago there was a saying that sounded like this. It of course refers to a not so wonderful profession. This name does not however it is just a cool band name and a play on words at the same time. | Dippy D | ||
Two Dollar Pistol | The old saying is "hotter than a two dollar pistol", suggesting stolen goods, but a hot band name just the same | Eddddd | ||
Two Dollar Ransom | It was the name of a band that was, once apon a time, apunk band. I just always thought the name was cool. The symbol was "2$R". | Dremaura | ||
Two Dollar Whore | It's a old joke. A really cheep John needs some. Or Maybe "Two Finger Hand Job" would be a great one also. | Derick J, Hend | ||
Two Dudes One Blunt | It shows that if your lead guitarist and rythm guitarist/singer are stoners; this band name'd be perfect | Jared | ||
Two Fifths Canadian | OK, so there are only four people in our band. But 2/5s sounds better than 1/2. Two of us are Canadian, two aren't. You do the math. | Greg G. | ||
Two Hour Shower | A great name for a really good punk band. It has a double standard meaning to it too. For the clean minded, it could represent that long lasting bliss one gets from taking a hot shower. You're cleaning up your act. Or the perverts can take it as one taking the extra needed time to j*** off in the shower. | Igotyagood | ||
Two Inch Torpedo | Sounds kinda like Nine Inch Nails; a friend used this once to refer to a certain part of his anatomy, and it just stuck in my head! | Carla Bisagni | ||
Two Minute Hate | From George Orwell's 1984 | Dave | ||
Two Pump Chump | This girl I know hates guys like this, and as you know if one girl doesn't like you the rest want to find out for themselves | Jonny | ||
Two Second Orgasm | A few of my friends at school and I were at lunch. My friend Blake hiccuped(is that right, o well). It sounded like an orgasm that an old person would make. It was beautiful. | Will Owens AKA 'Sk8' | ||
Two Seconds Away | My friend Rob and I were driving back from the mall when this idiot in a truck pulled out in front of us and forced to hit our brakes. I then lost it and started screaming "that f***er took two seconds away from us!!" Rob responded with, "dude, that's a cool band name ... Two Seconds Away!" And so the legend that never will be began. | Roger | ||
Two Sides | Taken by my band. Really, when one of you is villainous and the other is a hero, and you become friends...what else are you going to call it? | Douglas Bucksworth aka D.B. | ||
Two Steves On A Honda | at a party, two of our friends(both named steve, obviously)took off for the store on a friend's motorcycle. it just sounded obscure and kinda quirky! | jboxgirl | ||
Two Weeks Of Nothing | I just spend two weeks of vacation time doing nothing but sleeping, eating and playing on the internet. I guess that's pretty close to nothing. | Otis Throwup | ||
TwoPlusTwo | This would make a great name for a rock band. I came up with this name in my math class. I was pressing random numbers on my calculator and I ended up with 2+2. | Paul | ||
TwoStepMary | Yeah, it's really TwoStepMary. I was in the line for our flag ceremony. Then my teacher asked me to move two steps from Mary (which is my bandmate). There you have it. | facemelter | ||
Typhoid Mary | I thought the nickname of the famous typhoid fever carrier would make a great band name. It's also a play on the Jethro Tull song title "Crosseyed Mary." | Renard | ||
Typhoon Avalance | CAME UP WITH IT BY MY HOCKEY STICK BEING CALLED A TYPHOON (NAME ON STICK) AND MY FAV TEAM IS COLORADO AVALANCHE | JAKE HOSLEY | ||
The Typical Strip | I was sitting in a Calculus lecture one day, and this phrase is used in deriving the Theorem of Integration. When situated alongside a graph on squared paper with some nice Maths symbols, the whole page would make an excellent cover for the first album. | John |
