Names -> Stupid Band Names -> D
These are the band names that we feel are just plain stupid. Bands pick the most absurd names, who wants to be known as a member of the "Butthole Surfers"? We only accept entries for this page that make fun of a band name. Just saying a band is lame (no matter how lame they might be) isn't a good reason for entry.
Name | Description | Submitted by: | ||
| D-12 | Sounds like 1) An isotope of an element on the periodic table or 2) A less expensive joint lubricant, like WD-40. | Vick M | ||
| D-A-D | It's the name they weren't allowed to have(Disneyland Affter Dark), just shortened. | Mads | ||
| Dada | Sounds like baby talk. | Mr. Critic | ||
| Daft Punk | They're not a punk band but they're defintely Daft.. | Gengar308 | ||
| Danger Danger | These guys are trying so hard to be tough, they had to say it twice. When they really are a bunch of wussies! | Trendkiller138 | ||
| Danny Wilson | Clearly it sounds like it should be one person. But it's a group! Why would a group want to pick a name that consists of a first name and a surname? | Mr. Critic | ||
| Dave Matthews Band | Zero points for effort. | QarnoS | ||
| Dead Daughters | Previous name of the Human League. First of all they're not (physically) dead. Secondly... they're not (genetically) daughters. | Bobo | ||
| Dead Kennedys | Aren't there enough of them yet? Better think of something original! | Xie21 | ||
| Dead Or Alive | Isn't it obvious, they are alive? | Mads | ||
| Death | The fact that there's a band called Death makes me cry. Honestly, how uncreative can you get? | ZeRo | ||
| Death Cab For Cutie | What the bleed is a death cab? (a coffin perhaps?) And why is it "for cutie?" . . . You're not getting a casket for your girlfriend are you? | Jonathan S. | ||
| Death From Above 1979 | Yes this is real! First off, above what? Plus, if death really came from "above," then wouldn't the person notice it? Second off, they weren't formed in 1979. Not even close! They formed in 2001, for pete's sake! | nosckaJ | ||
| DeBarge | Sounds like de boat that hauls de trash! | Jonathan S. | ||
| Deee-Lite | A New Kind Of Yogurt Brought To You By Dannon!!! In Five Great Flavors!!! | Suga' Baby | ||
| Def Leppard | You should never use the word "def" in a band name. Some people might listen to your music and wish they were deaf. | Travis | ||
| Def Leppard | It's a blatent rip off of the way Led Zepplin mispelled their name. | space bob | ||
| Default | It is like they used some type of generator and before they typed something in it read "Default". They figured that would be good enough. | Travis | ||
| Deftones | Deftones, Tone-Deaf. I don't know, I was reluctant to hear these guys. I was scared they couldn't sing. It's like welfare and saying 'fare-well' to your belongings... | Dan | ||
| Deftones | How can you differentiate between tones if you're deaf? | Jonathan S. | ||
| Deicide | Means death of god...but sounds more like a chemical cleaner sold on an informercial | Lord Malidiction | ||
| Del Amitri | There's nobody by that name in the band, not that anyone would admit to being someone named Del Amitri. He'd be too embarrassed. | Nigel Shave Cream | ||
| Destiny's Child | They aren't the children of destiny and they kick people out of their group too often. And they have very annoying and repetitive songs. | JeNNiE | ||
| Destiny's Child | It may not be that big of a deal, but it's just so annoying that it's Detsiny's Child, not Destiny's Children since there's three of them. I bet Beyonce likes to think of herself as the chid. | Hitman | ||
| Dexy's Midnight Runners | Who the (blank) is Dexy? And why are they running at midnight--unless perhaps they're criminals? | Jonathan S. | ||
| Dexy's Midnight Runners | It sounds like a band of hitmen. And Dexy is such a pimp name. | Kitten | ||
| Dick Delicious and the Tasty Testicles | This is not a joke, there really is a band with this name. I have heard a few of their songs, and found the name more amusing than their music. I don't know what they were thinking when they picked this name, but I can't stop laughing when I hear it. | Piccolo Kane | ||
| Dickie Doo & The Dont's | For starters, this name is just begging to be heavily mocked for the first word alone, to say nothing of the jokes that would include the "doo" part of the equation. Second, why would you want to be known as a "don't?" Wouldn't you rather be called something more positive? | Jonathan S. | ||
| The Dickies | I can't even read their band name without laughing. They're naming themselves after a bunch of penises? | hekifier | ||
| Dido | I don't know why she took her name from a women carved out of stone from Greek Mythology. I don't remember the exact story, but I don't think there was any significance. | Billy Florio | ||
| Dido | Ok, it's a good name for her & her style of music, but I always thought it sounded too much like a female sex toy. | montivedeo | ||
| Dido | Well what happens if you put a L in it? | madeline | ||
| Dido | Makes me think my band has a better name, because at least ours makes sense. The word 'Dido' means the same. That's kinda strange | S.T.G. | ||
| Dido | It sounds like a dinosaur! | Princess Chic | ||
| Die Fantastischen Vier | Yes, it's German. BUT, it translates as 'The Fantastic Four'. | Bookworm7896 | ||
| Die Toten Hosen | It translates as 'The dead trousers'. | Bookworm7896 | ||
| Die Trying | They must not have been very smart to come up with a name like this. | Mr. Critic | ||
| Digable Planets | just what makes them "digable?" Kind of a dumb choice for an adjective. | Jonathan S. | ||
| Dinosaur Jr. | A little Tyrannosaurus Rex running around in a T-shirt, jeans and a propeller hat? NAH! I keep thinking of some kind of kids' meal. "Try our delicious Dino-Burger! And for kids, there's the Dinosaur Jr.!" | Jonathan S. | ||
| The Dirty Mac | What the heck is that supposed to mean? Did their frontman just walk by a bowl of macaroni and dirt and then instantly think of "Dirty Mac?" Geez. | nosckaJ | ||
| Dirty Vegas | As opposed to a clean Vegas? | Da Do Ron Ron Reagan | ||
| Disturbed | It's also what I think they were when they came up with the name | Bye-Gon Jinx | ||
| Dixie Chicks | Baby chicks in Dixie cups. How stupid is that? | Tim | ||
| DJ Bobo | A clown maybe? Someone you have to laugh about if only the music were not so colorless... | Swisscheese | ||
| DMX | What does it stand for? Apparently something really stupid if he has to abreviate it. | Pion | ||
| Dog Fashion Disco | Mental picture: A bunch of poodles, chihuahuas and such prancing around in L. L. Bean under a mirror ball . . . Okay, just what the bloody heck is this name supposed to mean?!?! | Jonathan S. | ||
| DogEatDog | These guys would definetely win at any battle of the bands competition! Their band name really bites! | Devin | ||
| Dollie DeLuxe | The name either sounds like a 50's burlesque dancer, or a very expensive item at FAO Schwarz. | Todd W. Zimmerman | ||
| Donkey Punch | Why does someone want to name a band after a sexual act? | dxman | ||
| The Doobie Brothers | It sounds like they named themselves after boogers or something. | Joseph | ||
| Double | Too bad they couldn't 'double' their number of hits after "Captain of Her Heart". | ice | ||
| Dr. Dre | If Dr. Dre went 2 college and got his Ph.D. would he become Dr. Dr. Dre? | Suga' Baby | ||
| Dr. Jamm | I saw this in the Chicago suburbs. Cheezy. May as well have named it Dr. Gay. | Fred | ||
| Dredg | I give a special award to anyone who says this name correctly the FIRST time, without squinting at it and trying to silently mouth out all the possible pronounciations. | Mac | ||
| Dropkick Murphys | This punk rock band name sounds like a pro wrestling name! They were probably known to dropkick people with the last name Murphy. | Devin | ||
| Dschinghis Khan | Sounds like they passed history but flunked spelling. | The Other Guy | ||
| Dumpy's Rusty Nuts | If your nuts were rusty would you boast about it? | Chris | ||
| Duncan Sheik | Ahem... Is that Like Dunkin' a Trojan? Where is he Dunking it? | Ferrell | ||
| Duncan Sheik | Sounds like an Arab doughnut shop owner | rzrshrp |

Submissions Are Accepted Again
Much like the stupid song lyrics page, I get a lot of submissions for this page. More than I can really handle. The problem is that I get a lot of "Blink 182 is stupid 'cuz I said so" submissions, which I have to waste time deleting (though not much). I also get a lot of submissions that just aren't funny. I guess the real problem is that the word stupid can mean so many things, and hence every band name could be considered stupid.
So in short, don't bother sending me stupid email about this stupid page, or you're stupid.
If you have a creative/humorous idea, please submit it.
