Names -> Cool Band Names -> I, 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.

| I.Q. | For any of you tiny-bopping boy bands or boy band lovers. It really a joke becuse to make a song for a boy band takes none of this. And even the when someone says boy (band) it's pollitically incorrect because a band consists of the artists play an instrument. | ziggy | ||

| Ibrox | It is a football (soccer) stadium in Glasgow, but it sounds simple and powerful | tonio | ||

What a great band name that would be! ( i was in a band at that time making a list of band names 'cause i didn't like "The Three Musketeers".

| Idiot Box | An episode of 'SpongeBob SquarePants' | Belinda Trucklisle | ||
| Idiot Hole Lollipop Skull | It was an insult that my friend Rob came up with when we were little. It just seemed like such a mean thing to call someone. Plus the band could have a cool abbreviation. IHLS | Lonnie | ||

| Ignia | Comes from the Latin word "ignius," meaning "fire." | Rachel | ||
| Ignorance & Apathy | I got this name from this joke: "What is the difference between ignorance and apathy? A:I don't know and I don't care." The punchline would describe half of the rap, hard metal, and techno groups out there. | hardrock | ||
| Ignore My Acne | I'm sure everyone has wished at least once that others would do this. It would be nice to have a band that acknowledges this unspoken wish. | Alicia Ant | ||

| Ill Fate | Ever think of dying from an illness? | Katie L. | ||

If you don't know what Ranma 1/2 or fanfiction is, all you need know is Ranma 1/2 is an anime, and fanfiction is a story written by a person using characters and settings of a series. I love this name because it doesn't have any real meaning, and sounds really pretty and mysterious. | The Talk Of The Town | ||
