Names -> Cool Band Names -> Latest Entries
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 Trash Bandits | "Trash bandit" is a slang term for a raccoon, because raccoons will commonly get into people's garbage cans searching for food. I think it would be a good and funny name for a punk rock or alternative rock band. | Edward | ||
| Vampire Venom | Not something I came up with. There's a guy named Harry Slatkin who's a maker of high end scented candles (and scented soaps) and you'll regularly see them sold on the shopping channel QVC. Anyways I just recently saw they were selling a set of Halloween themed liquid hand soaps from him. And one of them was named Vampire Venom, and I immediately thought that would make a cool band name. I think it'd be a good name for a goth rock band. | Edward | ||
| Geriatric Millennial | I read this Facebook post on how many terms there are people born between 1980 and 1985 and that was one of them | Dayna | ||
| The Fart Squirrels | A slang for skunks.🦨🦨🦨 | Brio | ||
| The Parsley Nobody Eats | This is based on a dirty dad joke, which goes "What is the difference between parsley and p****? Nobody eats parsley". Would be perfect for brothers whose last name is Parsley. | Rock Maninoff | ||
| Something Appalling | It's a lyric from "Comedy Tonight" from the musical " A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum". Another death metal band that would have Zero Mostel spinning in his grave. | Lance Crackers | ||
| Punk Cat | One day I was looking at weird off-brand Chinese cars that had stupid names; and this one took the cake. If you're wondering, the car in question is a ripoff Volkswagen Beetle EV with 4 doors. | Jay | ||
| House Of Flies | It was in a Deftones song title, so why not? | Lance Crackers | ||
| Canadian Tuxedos | It's apparently what Levi's had as an ad after Bing Crosby was refused entry to a hotel in Vancouver, British Columbia for wearing jeans with a jean jacket. It's rather ironically more closely associated with the US | dayna | ||
| Harrison Ford's Laundry | There's an episode of Friends where Joey says something about a laundromat owner having a picture of Harrison Ford and not him and the actor who plays the owner was in Air Force One | dayna | ||
| Slimer Genocide | I was listening to this week's episode of The Greatest Generation (it's a Star Trek podcast) and the hosts were talking about an episode of Voyager where some aliens looked like a skinny version of Slimer from Ghostbusters but I don't remember why the enemy wanted to kill off the entire race | dayna | ||
| Eddy Tutu | I just made it up. | Brionna Secret | ||
| Implied Necromancy | It's from a funny YouTube comment I read | dayna | ||
| Seven Degrees of Kevin Bacon | It's a game that connects Kevin Bacon to anyone else in Hollywood because he's been in so many movies and I have ADHD so that's what it feels like in my head at all times | dayna | ||
| Useless Paperclips | I have a habit of calling people "useless paperclips" (Clippy shout out) when they're being really annoying/ stupid and I thought it would be funny | dayna | ||
| Deadly Nestea Plunge | The news mentioned a dumbass who died of a head injury while practicing "The Nestea Plunge" in a public pool, based on the old TV commercial. Kids, don't try this at home...or anywhere. | Opie M. | ||
| The Rhymers of Eldritch | Named after the play "The Rimers of Eldritch", using it to describe a group of white rappers. | Lance Crackers | ||
| Dr. Pooper | The first laxative soft drink. It feels so good going down (to paraphrase an old Seven-Up commercial.) | Lance Crackers | ||
| Ron Jeremy's Shortcomings | Based on the adult-film star's recent incarceration. He is known for being well-endowed. | Lance Crackers | ||
| Sweet Talking Romeo | it's a line from Tougher Than The Rest by Bruce Springsteen. I thought it would be a good name for a band who acts like they can get everyone in bed with them | dayna |
