Names -> Cool Band Names -> H, 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.
Entries Beginning with H, Page 1
Entries starting with H are split into multiple pages: 1 2 3 4 5
Name | Origin | Submitted by: | ||
| H/B | Its hoes over bros, I got the idea from 1 tree hill, brooke's clothing line is clothes over bros or C/B and hoes just fits. | skye | ||
| Habius Corpus | I was sitting in Government class when they said it. It means where is the Body? in Latin I thought it was a pretty fat name | Joe B | ||
| The Had Matters | A cool spoonerism of "The Mad Hatters" (see Alice In Wonderland). | Homer D. Brave | ||
| Hadda Be Playing On The Jukebox | This is the name of a poem by Alan Ginsburg, but it would also make a cool band name. | The Desert of the Real | ||
| Hadesdragon | Hades, the god of the underworld, the god of death. The dragon part just kinda sounded cool at the time. | dime R.I.P | ||
| Hafod Hir | Hafod Hir, is Welsh for "long summer". If you are really dedicated to music and if you don't get stressed out with the whole band situation, this could be a really good name for your band. As you would enjoy it so much, it would be like a long summer. | Charlie | ||
| Hail To The Blimp | Tribute name to Led Zepplin but smaller. | Buddy | ||
| Hail to the Chimp | It was a film on an episode of Simpsons. Anything featured on the Simpsons is cool especially if its also involves chimpanzees. "Thats what you get for not hailing to the chimp" | Cainantor | ||
| Hair Down There | OH MAN.... Me and my friend Kevin were fooling around with funny names for anything, and i'm like how about pubic death, then we were both like how about hair down there!!! man it was hillarious we called everyone up and told them and then they threw up. | Zach | ||
| Hairdressers Unite | It sounds good, it's odd, and it doesn't mean anything really. The result of my habit of saying random junk when coversation gets boring. | Princess Ana | ||
| Hairspray | Good name for a female punk band. I came up with it while spiking my hair. Obviously. | ScarletMutatation | ||
| The Hairy Artichoke And His Doughnut Groupies | I think it's cool because doughnuts and artichokes together would be very good (wink, wink). I came up with it when I was trying to fall asleep and thought of an artichoke and what would be terrible with it. :P | Starro* | ||
| Hairy Bath Water | I just think it's cool, don't you? | Toni | ||
| Hairy Billiard Bulls | The discussion in a maths lesson was about spheres, and billiard balls were used as an example............no wonder i was completely lost, trying to figure what the hell a billiard bull was. Conjures up great images though | Vic | ||
| Hairy Housewife | My husband spent the last seven months on paternity leave with our kids. The phrase was coined in reference to him. We live in in Finland, and the Finnish version (Karvainen Kotirouva) is somehow even better. | Angie Pohja | ||
| Hairy Iceholes | I'm going to sound like a geek for this, but it's a reference to the show "Whose Line Is It Anyway?". Plus it's fun to say out loud. | randa | ||
| Half a Chance | Because you have half a chance to make it and half a chance not to make. | be cool | ||
| Half Asleep | It's actually what I'm gonna name my band, once we find a drummer. *sigh* I came up with it one day in English class when I was, well, half asleep. | Philip Rossin | ||
| Half Court Hooker | A Miami Heat announcer called a half court hook shot by a fan for $75,000 a "half court hooker". The other connotations of the word "hooker" make it a good band name | JeReMy | ||
| Half Cow/Half Japeneese | It is cool because it is so bizarre and stupid. I saw a Japeneese guy farming cows in a field and i said "He's half cow...half japeneese!" It sounds the best if you say the half japeneese part in a sinister whisper. | Thomas Neufeld | ||
| Half Of Infinity | An impossibility, but it sure sounds cool! | Ryan | ||
| Half Sheepshank | its a knot we learned in the fire academy (three of our members are firefighters). if we tied it wrong, the drill instructor would make us do push-ups. I thought it would be a kick ass name for our ska band, the others agreed. | the slant-eye brothers | ||
| Half Speed Ahead | It's cool because it's my mom's husband's daughter's boyfriend's band's name. Wow say that ten times fast! | Dude | ||
| Half wood | its just cool half wood came form a half of a piece of wood Duh | Steve Pc. | ||
| Half Your Mother's Meatloaf | My mom brought us some home-made food and put it in our fridge. After eating approximately 50% of it, my wife announced, "Half Your Mother's Meatloaf is in the fridge." Pure poetry. Anything involving both meat and motherhood conjures up revoltingly illicit carnality -- a real attention-getter. | schweitzito | ||
| Half-and-Half | Okay, now the name may sound stupid, but think about it. Half-and-Half is a type of cream. Cream is a band from the 1960s. Therefore, if you like the band Cream, this would be a good tribute band name! | saverock'n'roll@saverock'n'roll.org | ||
| Half-Melted Snowmen | This name is good for a band that almost broke up...or is half rock and half polka or something like that. | Ryan C. | ||
| Half-Way There | It's cool because it reminds me of a walk I went on with my father. When I asked him, "Are we there yet?", he always said, "We're half-way there." | Jake | ||
| Hall Monitors | It is just a cool name i think. I was thinking of dress code violations and u always get them in the hall so then i thought of Hall Monitors.%) | Madison | ||
| Hall Of Blame | Kinda like the Hall of Fame, but the opposite. This is the hall with pictures of all the bad ones. Bad enough to get put onto a wall at least | Daniel Kang | ||
| Hall Of Infinity (H.O.I) | the death penalty | |||
| Hallelusion | Don't know if it really is cool, but "Hallelujah" + "Illusion" = "Hallelusion"... | neptunevsmars | ||
| Hallousions | a freaky deaky mix between hallucination and illusions yea u see what i did there!and it can go the otha way, you c not just a hat rack | SaSi | ||
| The Hallucinagins | I'm not sure if I spelled hallucinagins right but who gives. It is so random that it is just cool. I some drug ed. people came to my school and I asked "Do we get free samples?" and the person seriously flipped out. So then I was like "Geez, the drug ed. persons on drugs!" and it popped into my head. | Pyschonic | ||
| Halo Of Azrael | Azrael is the Angel of Death. His halo's got to be pretty awesome. | Ben | ||
| Halycon | It means 'Peace and Calm", apt name for a rock band isnt it ;) | Zeltweg | ||
| Hammered Soul | I came up with it because, when I was a kid, a hammer was stabbed in my chest, close to my heart. That's how I thought of the name. | shane | ||
| Hamp's New Name Is Phamilto | I had to chang my username because when I went on this site the computer froze and stayed frozen for 3 weeks. I'm not saying it's your fault though. You guys should REALY REALY REALY REALY be cool site of the year. | phamilto | ||
| Hampton Heath | It's a street name by my house and just sounds pretty sick. | matt | ||
| Hanami Dingo | It sounds cute | Lefty Lucy | ||
| Hand Full of Nurple | my friend pinched this guy's nipple and i asked him if it gave him a nurple and he said "a whole hand full" | Jim Fields | ||
| Hand Full Of Walnuts | Jayden | |||
| Hand Lightning | I was reading-yes, again-Tokyo Mew Mew volume 7 and just imagined what it would be like if I could shoot lightning out of my hand. Cool name, eh? | Douglas Bucksworth aka D.B. | ||
| Hand Me Down Hang-Overs | It was our band name back when we were a carefree band that didn't care at all, but then we started to care and the name was changed. | Cory Calrk | ||
| The Hand Solos | For Star Wars fans that don't have girlfriends (so, all of them I guess?) | RevengeFromMars YouTube | ||
| Handicapped Soldier | Yeah so me and my buds were playing risk and i knocked over a soldier guy, and my friend said "what good is a handicapped soldier?" and i said "Hey, that's a good band name!" | Kyle G.O.T.U | ||
| The Hands Of Fate | Ahh... Manos: The Hands Of Fate is probably the worst movie ever made. Saw it on Mystery Science Theater 3000 and thought, "Hey, that might be cool!" | Tom | ||
| The Hands-Free Method | When I was at a party in high school, there were a bunch of tapes and CD's lying around for party music. I started looking at them, and noticed one titled "Deer Calling with the Hands-Free Method". When I asked around, someone said that yes, it had been a deer calling tape, but he'd taped over it with some house music. Anyway, I thought that The Hands-Free method would make a cool name, mostly because everyone would really wonder what it was a hands-free method of. | Glix Wasi | ||
| Handsome Man-Ass | I just... I have no idea what to say about this one at all. | IHaveNoBrain | ||
| Hanging Chads | You know that whole Florida issue? I heard it one day and thought it sounded like a band. | Wynter | ||
| The Hanging Chads | Just some reminition of the 2000 election... :-) Probably some sort of alternative group, maybe with a political message. | Andrew | ||
| Hangman's Joke | It was a made up band from the movie "The Crow" with the late Brandon Lee. It sounded like a good band name for a dark metal band. | Slade Craven | ||
| HangNail | I use my fingers alot (obviously). My nails are a tiny bit longer then my fingers. Since I use my fingers alot, I keep getting hang nails and they suck but it sounded ok. : | amel | ||
| Hangover | It's the name of a local band that I helped come up with. It just is a cool word, and describes the feeling that comes out of the music. The band has a very Nirvana-esque song. That's how it feels to me, just dragging along. There's energy, but no excitement conveyed by the artists. | None | ||
| Happiness | It could be a death metal/emo band. It would be awesome because the name would not go with the music at all. | Tyler Desi | ||
| The Happy A**es | It's from Austin Powers: Goldmember (one of the best movies ever). "Your a** is happy" | JeReMy | ||
| Happy Exile | Well my uncle and I, were trying to think up names and finally it came, we thought of a name like some happy outcasts from their town not able to come back, so they're haveing a happy exile, so "Happy Exile" is the name. | CuddlySoftbunnie and Uncle | ||
| Happy Feet Drip | I was sitting on the table with my friend when my 6 year old sister slid a piece of paper over to me, which had a picture of a foot and water around it. At the bottom it read, "Happy feet drip! " | joanne | ||
| Happy Fortune | me and my friends were thinking of starting a band and i sat at my dads desk and looked around and saw a fourtune cookie and thought of a happy fortune and yeah you can guess the rest | rayne | ||

| Happy Hands Club | It's the club that Napoleon Dynamite is a member of in the movie. | bridget lee | ||
| Happy Mean Clouds | well its kinda cool because one day in class me and my friend were drawing on the board and we drew 3 clouds... the 1st one was happy... the 2nd one lookd mad at the world and the 3rd one was kinda in between... so we were like hey happy mean clouds... totally rockin man | Annaka | ||
| Happy People | From REM's song Shiney Happy People. You could do really depressing songs. | nirvana11 | ||
| Happy Trees | Ah--a tribute to the afro-donned artist on the PBS series. | pauhead | ||
| The Happy-Go-Luckies | This name could either be used for a more poppy band or could be used as a misnomer for a real dark band. Either way, it works. | Kevin Powers | ||
| Harajuka Girls | A great name for a girls band. Although Harajuka girls are asian prostitutes, it's still a great name and Gwen Stefani has this title as one of her songs. | Jingle Bells | ||
| Harbinger | It means forrunner, herald or omen. So I thought it would be cool. I also like the word. | Twistatooth | ||
| A Hard Act To Follow | Imagine the inroducer saying, here is "A Hard Act To Follow"...pretty cool... | Hehehehehe | ||
| The Hard Harvards | It just sounds cool. | jim tea | ||
| hard line | this means bad luck in england or some place and i just thought it sounded like an auesome name for any kind of band or group | eme | ||
| Hard Rock Bottom | We were swimming at this lake once, when somebody said "This lake has a hard, rock bottom." I thought it would be a cool name for a group. Later on, Randy Travis recorded a song called "Hard Rock Bottom." I feel like suing him. | Dan Smith | ||
| Hard To Explain | well..if youre ever confronted with the question of "What's your band called??" you just say.."its Hard To Explain". Then they will be like, 'why??" and youll just be like, "No..its just Hard To Explain!" Crazy stuff! | eva the beaver | ||
| Hardcore Potential | Hey, this is a very well established nuclear model that actually exists. I am a physicist and each time I hear a talk about that, I can not stop thinking it should be a band name! | Sabine | ||
| Hardcore Suprise | It's basically something so badass that will suprise the crap out of ppl from your freakishly awesome talent. | Zander | ||
| Harlow Green | my cousin's name is Harlow, and her favorite colour is green | wonka bar | ||
| Harmonious Dragmaster | "The Harmonious Dragmaster" was a nickname for a British 50s-60s fighter plane. It wasn't all that good, so I assume the nickname was sarcastic! | Nice Bob | ||
| Harmonis Kaos | I think it's cool because these too words are opposite and one fits for a band's name (harmonic) and the other doesn't. COOL EHHH??? | marshall | ||
| Harold Angels | Part of a common misspelling of the song title "Hark, The Herald Angels Sing". Since the song IS about singing, I thought this would make a good band name. | Shelley Potts | ||
| HARRASSSARRAH | IT SPELLS BACKWARDS THE SAME AS FORWARD, AND IT HAS A MEANING: TO HARRASS A GIRL NAMED SARRAH> THE MIDDLE "S" CAN BE A LIGHTNING BOLT, GOOD FOR A BAND THAT PLAYS SEXY TYPE ROCK'N'ROLL! | PATRICK | ||
| 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 | ||
| Harry and the Nostrils | Sounds like a punk band! | chuckulz | ||
| Harry Comber and the Marvellos | A bit like those black harmony singers from 60's/70's. | Henry | ||
| Harry's Defunct Pizza Place | A generic term for any failed business. | Opie M. | ||
| Harvard Boneheads | I love oxymorons. | IHaveNoBrain | ||
| Hasbro Smythe | Just a fake name I wrote as a kid while writing a screenplay. More like a pseudonym than a group name. I don't if it would sell any albums, but the first name sold a lot of toys. | Guy Dance | ||
| Haseo | I got from the .hack//G.U game. It's the name of the main character. | Ritsumi8888 | ||
| Hasselhoff über Alles! | After all, Germans love David........ | Chuck Fensch | ||
| Hassidic Male Prostitutes (HMP) | My friend came up with this as we were driving around our suburban neighborhood and saw some hassidic jewish men just hanging around on the street corner and he pondered what they might be up to. | Brian | ||
| Hastened Typo | Duh. | The mole | ||
| The Hate Filled Midgets | Who wouldn't buy one of their albums? Any band with the word "midget" is cool in my book. | Gober | ||
| HATEbelief | I think it has a cool rock / metal touch to it since i'm really into metal. This is my current band name and i thought of it when I was in Middle school and still strong.How i came up with it is b/c that is what we believe towrds people the way people hate eachother and stuff like that. It's really hard to explain really. | SpIkE | ||
| Hatebug | I was looking at an exterminating company truck. | random dude | ||
| Hatter | Well it sounds crazy or chaotic or at least odd (since hatters went crazy long ago when they used to use Mercury in hat making) and thus might work well for a modern metal or punk rock group. | M. Eng | ||
| Hatter Nearly Killed Her | A popular dirty joke amongst shock D.J.s. It goes "Hatter? Nearly Killed Herr" (Get it? Hatter? Had her?) | Ray Bands | ||
| Hatter's Hare | Most references to Alice are just plain cool, and there are no characters better than the Mad Hatter and the March Hare: not even the Cheshire Cat. The name of the first hit single would be 'Tea with Time', after that delightful conversation from the Teaparty. | Kendo Bunny | ||
| Havana Cigar | jus flicked through the dictionary and hey presto we stopped on a page with this cool name. Also it sounds a bit like have another cigar yet the funny thing is noone in the band smokes cigars! | Michael M | ||
| Haverchuck | it is EPIC | Luke | ||
| The Havering Hillbillies | I made it up when I heard the word Havering in another song and my sister was telling me a hillbilly joke. | Scooby-Doo | ||
| Havocation | The name just came to me one day. Basically it means the process of destruction. You won't find it in any dictionary. I think it's an awesome band name if you're into Death Metal. | Chris Cutliff | ||
| HavoK | haha when i was in seventh grade i wanted to start up a heavy metal band called havok. i even drew a cool album cover with the word HavoK engulfed in flames, a pitchfork sticking out of the fire, and above two glowing red eyes shining in the darkness. i was a disturbed kid. | Wood |
