Names -> Cool Band Names -> U, 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:
The Unknown Comets		Think about all the comets that have yet to be named. Then add "The Unknown Comic" of "The Gong Show'" fame. Equals instant band name.		one
Unknown Fact		its cool cause its diferent weird. i thought of it when i told my friend somthing and i said " yeah its a unknown fact " i think i might name my band that if the others ok it.		alex
The Unknowns		You have to say it like "Un-Kah-nouns". One time my family and i were trying to find my grandmas tombstone and we kept seeing ones that said "unknown" and my uncle thought that "Un-kah-nouns" was the familie's name.		Kelsey
Unleash the Kraken!		It's apparently what people say when they open up a brand of rum called Kraken		dayna

The Unmentionables		This would be for bands who have considered having an obscene word in their band name. They would be unmentionable.		obscure

Unnamed		It's a little ripoff from "No Use For A Name".. But still a cool name...		Mays and Arre

Anyway, I noticed that the meat looked a little bit "Crispy," since I was just a visiter... what was I supose to do? I eventualy found whoever was in charge, and they told me to unplug it... my friends and I agreed "Unpluged Meat" would be a good band name. "Burt Meat" came in a close second.		http://www.momish.com

Allison
