Names -> Cool Band Names -> A, Page 1
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.

| Acid Anthropoid | It's cool because they are synonyms of "Heavy Metal Monkeys". I went to www.thesaurus.com and looked up Heavy Metal, and it said "acid rock", so I got acid from there, and I searched "monkey", and I got anthropoid ape, so it struck me as an awesome name. | Tommy | ||

| The Acidapples | A kid in my class said it a lot | jonnyboy | ||
| Acidify This | I hate Chemistry. And I was thinking that. And acids are in Chemistry which I hate. Therefore, I said, "[Insert band name]." | Milly | ||
| Acier Blue Nabi | This is the name of my band, and I came up with it because I thought of Dir en grey and how their name is a combination of German, French, and English. I thought “it would be cool to have our name like that” so I changed the Japanese version (it easer for me in Japanese) of Steel Blue Butterfly into 5 different languages (original Japanese, German, French, English, and Korean) and put together three combinations of each and I liked the sound of that one so I choose it. I came up with “Koutetsu Ao Chou” because it sounded cool to have a blue butterfly covered in steel. Acier is French Blue is English and Nabi is Korean. It will take a while for us but watch for us!! Ok! You will not be disappointed by our sound! | Keiten Tokushin | ||

| Acousticore | I was looking for a new screen name, and I thought up "acousticore". But I don't play the instrument, so it's useless to me. Good band name though. | Connor | ||
| Acoustika | I wanted to start up an acoustic band .. only 2 guitarists who sing | Theo | ||
| Acoustipranx | Name for an acoustic band whose schtick is to do parodies of songs. | K2studio | ||
| Acquired Taste | I just thought it was kool cuz its acually kinda true if ya think about it.. every person as an individual has "acquired taste". | julie | ||

| Action 52 | Action 52 is a 1991 NES release/1993 Sega release. This cost $199, which sounds like a horrible deal, until you realize it is less than $4 a game, and then you realize it actually was a horrible deal since all 52 games suck big time. Why not make it a Sum 41/Blink 182-esque band name? | JeReMy | ||

| Actual Size | Thought of it from a home movie with my sister saying things were "not actual size" because of the camera. | Matt | ||
| Acushla | Acushla is a term in Gaelic which either means 'Darling' or 'Beloved'. I thought it'd be pretty cool for a girl band. | BunnyKiller | ||

| Ad(*)hd | I was just thinking that it would be fun to have a band that would go with my personality. So I chose this cause I`m always HYPER. I would like to have music that I'm Mint with. If we are good enough, and if I get a record deal, it would be called "Sugar Free MAY Ad(*)hd" Live on!!! | Zezee Babe | ||
| AD/BC | Cool name for a hard rock christian band | WellPoint | ||
| AD/HD | I think the population of us kids with Attention Deficit Disorder is getting big enough for everyone to get a kick out of name like this. Being an AC/DC fan and a person with a lot of friends, it just came to me ... enjoy :) | pun on nerds | ||
| ADAC | ADAC is a German mobile car patch and motor car insurance. It would be a cool name, because it reminds me of AC/DC. | Cynthia Carui | ||

| Adam And Evil | It just sounds cool. Just think, it's almost Adam And Eve. But 'Adam and Evil'. In "Batman and Robin", Mr. Freeze randomly says it. It sound like a great death meatal/black metal band name. | ian | ||
