Names -> Cool Band Names -> L, 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.

L three three seven		L337 is short for leet, which is in turn online slang for elite. it's used by nerds to describe the very best.		stefan
L-Vis		Great rapper name! Like Elvis? Howabout L-Vis?		Drew
L.A.V.I.S.H. / Project L.A.V.I.S.H.		Lasses And Vixens In Superpowerful Hypnosis. Intended for a all-guy group, to imply that they REALLY impress the female fans. How I came up with it? The word "lavish" popped into my head, and I just thought I'd come up with an acronym for it. This is what came to mind....scary, huh?		Jonathan S.
L.O.U.D		this means live as you learn! its a brillaint name but the lads in my band wouldnt agree so now we're using instinctive error which is cool too! best of luck to every band out there! its brill fun xxx		Niamh

La Muerte Roja		It's Spanish for "The Red Death",and that's a cool name.And if your an OJ fan like me,you could call them Thrax. uppurs.		Ozzehmosis

Labrinyth Of Darkness		I like the movie Labrinyth and I thought it'd be cool		MFC
The Lacklusters		I think its a neat word, and it implies monotony. The jaded reality of daily life as a teenager.		kristin
The Lacklustres		I got the idea from some idiot who couldn't spell. [Ed.'s note: I have to disagree with you somewhat, Itchy, on kristin's entry for "The Lacklusters". The spelling of this name depends on what side of the Prime Meridian you are from. I do prefer your spelling of it, though.]		Itchy
The Laconic Conviction		That could be a cool band name in honor of all those bands that have the talent but dont give a rats patootie about fame! They just want to play local and be with their people. Lucky for us, they just do it cuz they love doing it.		badboybear
LaCToSe iNToLeReNT		Even though it's based on a dairy product problem... It's still cool enough to pass. Who says food related names aren't good for rock names? P.S. (It's already taken by me... Songs will soon be posted on www.true-fusion.vze.com's music page)		Reeko
Laddie Macbeth		Like Lady Macbeth, but with a sort of sting in the tail... would be a great name for a drag queen too.		Ariane

Ladles And Dreidels		A juxtaposition of disparate objects just because they happen to rhyme		Nicole Velocin

Lahe or Shet		Back when we were both in college, I was helping my sister write a paper for a class, and we were spell checking it, and we kept getting these words popping up: "Lahe" and "shet". We were completely baffled as to what they were, until we realized what had happened. Earlier, we had decided to change the whole paper from second-person ("when you get hired at this store, you will...") to third-person ("when an employee gets hired at this store, he or she will..."). So to begin this process, we used the find and replace function to search out every "you" and replace it with "he or she". Obidiently, the computer had done this, even to the middle of the word "layout", which appeared many times in the paper. Maybe we were just high on caffiene, but we both thought that was pretty damn funny, and she said it would make a good band name, so here it is. (Thank Jamie if you like it.)		Carolee
Lakitu and the Spinies		Another one of my Mario references, Lakitu is the turtle with glasses who throws Spinies at Mario.		Alan the Ottoman

Laminated Pants		Well one time i accidently laminated my pants (because i work at kinkos and all) and i was like "hey look i laminated my pants"		Ryan
Lampshade Milk Seven		From the Kidshealth article "Your online identity". "To keep people from guessing your password, don't pick something easy like your pet's name or your favorite team. For a truly secret password, try picking two very random nouns that have nothing to do with you (lampshadeMilk). To keep it super secret, put a number between the words (lampshade7milk)". I don't think that's a very good password, but an awesome band name!(especially for a group with 7 members)		Nina

LARP		StanDs for Live Action Role Play, which is pretty much acting like you're in medieval times, wearing costume armor and fighting imaginary enemies.		GlamRockNinjaLord

Larry Fink and the Steamy Weenies		I was in this band in the early 80's in N. Illinois. The name came from the movie "Meatballs, During the Hotdog eating contest, Bill Murrey leans over and says to Fink, " Look at all those Steamy Weenies" The rest is history. We were a Beatles tribute band!		Jeff
Larry Not Larry		My parents were talking about who was coming to fix out plumbing and locks and my mom said angrily "It's Larry Not Larry!" (As in there were two different Larrys.)		Olivia

Larval Mass		Came up with it in a biology lesson. For a death metal band, obviously!		James Bell

We got a call tell us someone knew a dude that was real good and could rip s***, so we all decided that this was our last ditched effort to get a bass player and if it didn't go good then the other guitarist would play bass. Besides its an old saying that can apply to a lot of things.		Vercetti Jones
The Last Frontier Of 'Error Man'		I (brownie) came up with this one, attempting to make a connection to band names such as And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, Queens Of The Stone Age. (Highly acclaimed bands tend to have strange elaborate names)		Brownie & Twinkle Toes
