D, 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.

The D-League	As in a developmental sports league, although these guys would say they're beyond developing.	Moron Cope
D-May Jole	My mum asked me if I wanted to practice my scale of D Major. Or play some more games. And I had an electronic game called DJ Mole, and I said to play D-May Jole ("DJ Mole" swapped round, and sounding like "D Major".)	sonikal
D.A.N.G	Kinduva tribute to Napoleon Dynamite. My friends said it could translate to mean "Dogs Anticipate Neon Goodies". That's kinda weird to me, but whatever. I think it's cool.	IndiGO Rookie

D.I.E. (Devine Inner Exemption)	I like this name, simply because I was thinking of how one can EXEMPT themselves from feeling emotional pain.

But only the strong are able to do such a thing...	Mario Gaudet

D8ing U Sux	From a CBC (That's the Canadian channel) comedy sketch. They were making fun of how K-Fed got that text-breakup-message from Britney, so this one guy supposedly being "interviewed" shows, among other breakup messages (me -u + :) for example.),one that says "d8ing u sux".

Daddy's Sausage	Remember "Daddy Would You Like Some Sausage?" from Freddy Got Fingered? exactly.	Junior
Dado and The Buttjoints	I had a shop teacher that was an ex-crackhead that was on the work release program (yes, I'm being serious.) He said you could fix anything with a dado or a buttjoint--commonly used joints in woodworking. I thought it would be a great band name.	The Anonymous Adam Keune
The Daffy Bastards	In the movie "The King of Comedy", Rupert Pupkin (Robert Deniro) imagines he's a guest on Jerry Langford's (Jerry Lewis) talk show. He says something clever and Jerry cracks up, calling him a "daffy bastard". Lousy movie. Great band name.	headman
DAGEGEN!	German word for "Against it!", but sounds much cooler...	Chnodomar
Daggerhart	We were looking through some kid's yearbook and saw this kid named Preston Dagenhart. We're like, 'oh my Lord that's the coolest name EVER'. Try saying it with a British accent.	undefined
Dahmer Daycare	This is a real cool name I think. I mean it's just kind of sick if you think about it.	Mike
Dain Bramage	It's like 'brain damage', but the 'brain damage' is so bad that the words are rearranged. The first cd could be called "Severe".	boese

Dan Situation	Because this totally rockin' name is a total pun. Kinda. Dan Situation = Dance Situation. A great name for a Christian Rap band.	Dan Situation
Dan's Blender	There's a juice bar where I live and most of the blenders have unique names, like 'The Smashing Ashleigh' or 'Teana's Banannas'. Then there's this one that's just called 'Dan's Blender'.	H. Kreuger
Dance Into The Fire	The phrase "dance into the fire" from the chorus of the James Bond theme song "A View to a Kill" just struck my interest as a great name for a punkish band.	Amelia
Dance the Dawn Away		Cpt. Neeb
Dancing Sadness	It was just after listening to "From The Inside" that I came up with this. Their songs would seem really fun and dancing-to at first, but if you really listened to the lyrics, you would find that they're talking about the tough stuff in life. Just like the song that inspired the name.	Douglas Bucksworth aka D.B.
The Dancing Wu-Fing Masters	It's actually the title of a physics book that I my friend just happened to see at barnes&noble. I thought it would make an awesome band name.	Hannie

Dangerous Microphone Gravy	I got it from a band name generator.	JeReMy
Dangerous Shorebreak	Yesterday was a good sunny day to take a walk by the beach. I was sitting on the ground and heard a (I suppose) mother screaming out loud to his (I suppose) son (who was running on the edge of the sea water): "The sea is very strong here! Be careful with the shorebreak!"	FZodiac
Daniel Plainview's Milksake Drinkers	In the movie "there will be blood," daniel plainview (daniel day-lewis) has this line: "i drink your milkshake!" it soon became something really funny (but only if you had seen the movie, then snl ruined the inside-ness of it when they did a skit about it...Oh well...) I just thought it'd make a good band name (if everyone in ur band likes the movie as much as I do)	George Napper
The Danielles	The name is based along the lines of the Donnas, and as it implies, is an all-female band, either standalone or backing a singer.	Joey F.

The banging on the bathroom door and yelling, "Quit boxing the puppet and get yer ass outa there others live here too you know"!!	badboybear
Dark Army	Ok, I was just listening to Sum 41's Introduction to Destruction, and it says, "....to a group that will appear and guide you through this final year. The dark armies then will come, when the sum is 41." i just think that the name sounds all mysterious and powerful.... WHOOO!	DARIA!
Dark Asplexyc Syndrome	Well, "dark" just naturally sounds cool, and "Asplexyc Syndrome" is a combination of two mental conditions: Asperger Syndrome, and dyslexia. (I can't believe I just spelt that right!)	Anonymous Bob
The Dark Carnival	i was listening to a kick *** song and it said the darkness is coming then somthing about a carnival...te he...thats how i got it!	India
Dark Fuzzy Satanic Warlord Kittens	This is such an inside joke that I don't believe that a 1000 paged 21-set volume series could explain this name. Probably could never be used but I figured I should post it for pure boredom's sake.	Amazing
Dark Matamorphosis	It's kool because it means dark change and it's the name of my band.	J.J.
Dark Meat Safari	Jungle boogie for all.....	dwain young
Dark Presence	I was thinking of band names; and I saw something about presence and the room. It was in was dark, so I put them together and thought it was a cool emo band name.	adam

Darkly Dreaming	from the book/tv show Dexter - Darkly Dreaming Dexter	Austin Arcady
Darling Moustache	Well, for a while I've been irritating my friends by throwing "darling" into almost every sentence. I like the word. And recently I've started to listen to Queen - for a while Freddie Mercury had a moustache. I was contemplating the word moustache (I have an excuse! I was bored) and I thought sticking another word in front of it would be a cool band name. Naturally, "darling" came to mind, me being obsessed with the word and Darling Moustache was born/created. This name idea is one I might use if I ever do a band! In fact...think I'll set up a really awful band just so I can use the name. Or maybe Microscopic Omlette Moustache. Just because it sounds oddly cool.	GoldenMarshmallow
Darth Bob	Darth Vader's brother....never quite made it to the big screen.	BadKarma Chameleon
Darth Vader Is My Father	Come on...you have to admit this is a cool name. I was researching Jediism during RE class and then my friend started reenacting a scene from Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back when Darth Vader tells Luke he's his father. I thought that was an epic scene and named my band after it.	Dragon (yes, real name)
Darvon U.	Darvon is a fairly big-time downer, a pain-killer. Of course, U. is university. My friend, S___, was in a band that played huge, slo-motion, moody rock. I offered her this name. It was rejected.	Sid Pink
Darwin's Dead (Get over it!)	Great name for a Christian Band, states the facts rather well, LOL!	john cummins
Darwin's Waiting Room	I did check it out and an Alt Rock band from around 2000 used it, but I think they're disbanded. I think it's cool because we initially used it as a joke phrase referring to our local area because of how backwards it is- like about 10 to 20 years behind the rest of the world. Plus it also conjures up some pretty amusing images like an ape on a toilet reading Darwin's "Origin of the Species".	Ray Wagner
The Dash	The dash between the date of birth and date of death on a tombstone. It reminded me of how short life is.	Jordan Smith
Dastardly Deed	Well I was watching this video in Chemistry about this serial arsonist that was caught because he used the old-time phrase "Dastardly Deed" in reoccuring documents found at the scene. Anyways, I thought that the phrase was cool.	Big J
Daughters Of Kain	the name sybolizes the daughters of kain (aka:Cain) in the Bible, Cain was the first murderer. so its pretty cool for a girl rock band.	lola
Daughters of the Abyss	It's a euphymism for prostitutes, mostly in the Victorian era. This would be an exceptional name, I feel, for a Slayer/Sepultura type band. Or even better, a country-folk duo.	MJ Bell
Daughters of Topo Gigio	They could be a petite pile of "dy-no-mite" as topo would say.	Badboybear
Dave's Lawn	It isn't, its just unique to anyone named dave with a lawn.	Justin
Dave's Wall	It's a combo of my last name (Wall) and my friend's last name (Davies). Put together, it sounded cool!	jo

The Davy Jones Crocodile Machine	Based off a blooper from POTC2: Dead Man's Chest.	Josh
Dawn Hates Grease	The commercial for the dishwashing liquid came on right after my wife and I got home from a visit with our friends Mike and Dawn. Our friend Dawn, btw, does not care for the Fifties musical "Grease." So there.	eddiethedemocrat
Dawn of Revolution	It's one of the lyrics to part of a Pierrot song. I thought it sounded cool for a band name.	Fresh Blood Joker
Day Moon	One day I saw a Full Moon in the middle of the day. It seemed so out of place ... so surreal. I yelled "Day Moon!" to my girlfriend and she replied "Cool name for a band!"	Patrick Coston
Day Of The Bad Smelling Juans	This would be a great band name. Because sometimes people smell bad. It should be for like a classical band or somethin! Juan is a name meaning john so it wood be very international.	John Bartholomew
Day Old Bagels	Sign my brother and I saw on the counter at a (guess...Yes!) a coffee shop.	Deb
Day Old Sushi	We were living in NY and they would sell sushi just about anywhere. So I saw some sushi for sale at a deli (I think) and uttered something about "day old sush"... for some reason I thought it sounded like a funny/cool punkish type band name.	Amy
The Day The Music Died	I think this pretty much sums up the state of the music industry today especially here in Britain where music is no longer music, it's all manufactured crap from record companies looking to make a quick buck.	Ben Singer
The Day The World Folded In On Itself	Kinda lenghty, but I still think that the name gives a certain sense of distruction to the mind whenever you say it.	Janice
Daydream	I came up with it while sitting in class bored.	Topsy kretts
Daydreams and Daisies	I'm thinking indie band or pop punk idk.	Elise Triantafyllou
The Daylight Nights	IS there such thing as a night with Daylight?	Corey-O

Days of the Phoenix	I got it from AFI(a fire inside). It was made in 2001. I like it.	dpn123
The Days That Say Elbow	It comes from word play, as a variation on "The Knights That Say Ni" from "Monty Python And The Holy Grail".	D. Melody Dole, MD
Daze One	Because it was taken from a piece of graffiti but it was spelt dayz 1 so we changed it to a different uncorrect spelling instead of having just days 1	Sam Irvine
The Dazed	well me and my buds were in my garage and were trying to come up with a name and my friend nic was stoned out of his mind and i said man, your comepletely dazed. Then my friend kevin said hey that should be our name, ' The Dazed'	Adam Ward
The Dazed And Confused	i got it from the movie dazed and confused	sean
Dazzling Gleam	It's a fairy-type move in Pokemon. Wouldn't it sound nice for a Japanese or Korean girl group?	Cotton Lorraine
