Names -> Cool Band Names -> M, 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.

| Maggots are Faggots | Not sure how i came up with it, just did. I mean a lot of bands have weird stupid names like superbus and takipakiwaki (my friends band). So i thought of a band name that was kinda cool, but kinda weird as well. Plus, i remember one time, there was a whole bunch of maggots near my compost heap so of course, i had to get rid of them and it was gross, I also remember myself murmuring; "Jeez, maggots are such faggots..... | Caleb | ||

| Maidenhead Hunters | I've been writing a lot of words and combination of words in search of a name for the band I've just got together. Madenhead is obvious and Headhunters is the play on words. This is not a name we'd use. | Wes | ||
| The Main Exchange | When my dad was stationed in Fort Hood, TX in the 70s, there were two Post Exchanges, or PX's. The big store was called the "main exchange"; the other was "the annex". I guess both of these names would be cool band names. | military | ||

| The Maineiacs | Me and my pals (Kev and matt) were gonna use this name as our band name. We are from massachusetts and we call people from maine the maineiacs.

| The Majestics | I came up with it because my friends loved it. | doiley | ||
| Majik Johnson | I heard that Pearl Jam originally considered naming themselves Mookie Blaylock (he was an NBA player). I thought about that, and the multiple meanings that can be inferred with this one just made it seem a better choice for a band name. I intentionally mis-spell it as you will probably get sued if you use it, though. | Andy | ||
| Major Lol | This band name is cool because when I was growing up in Brooklyn in the late 1960s, boys my age would chill in the alleys. We would throw cans and laugh out loud! That is my inspiration for this band name. Also, LOL stands for Love Our Lives, Love Over Load, and my personal favorite, Lot of Love! | hairy man with heart! | ||
| Major Package | This is a name for a band that is either REALLY hardcore, or REALLY arrogant, or both! | MO | ||
| Major Tom | From the David Bowie song "Space Oddity". I think Peter Schilling sang about him too. They could cover either or both songs. | Princess Ana | ||

| Malady of Meloncholy | I think it's an awesome name, spawning from Anne Rice's Lestat. There's a lot of power behind the name, at least I think so. Any style would really work with it. | Melady | ||
| Malcolm X and the Radicals | In History class, we had a resource book called "Malcolm X and the Radicals". I just thought this would be a great name for a band!! | Joe | ||
| Malcom Z | my friend and I were talking about malcom x? | A13 | ||
| Maldive Cola | Soda in the Maldive Islands is made with saltwater. I found it rather odd and thought I'd share with everyone here. | GlamRockNinjaLord | ||
| Male Box | Instead of Mail Box, I changed it to MALE Box. So when I get famous, I'll get a lot of mail! | Tommo911 | ||
| The Male Nymphomaniacs | Nymphomania is usually associated with teenage girls, so teenage boys who have sex with many people would be the direct opposite. | Rocky Rhodes | ||
| Malibulimics | For any band making fun of the Hollywood status quo. | RevengeFromMars YouTube | ||
| Malice In Wonderland | Something my brother once used as an MSN sign-in name and I loved it. Oviously a corruption of Alice in Wonderland...but WAY cooler | Yorksheer Genius | ||

| Malodorous Miscreants | They're punk. They're stinky. They're literate. | Chuck Fensch | ||

| Mancake | I was eating pancakes; and I thought if it was covered in beer, it would be a 'mancake'. | Chazm | ||
| Manchowder | Yet another word for sperm, Manchowder would be a great "double meaning" band name. Since I'm a lesbian, it's even more ironic if it were my band's name. | Vicaroo in Seattle | ||
| Mand Geval | It means "basket case" Dutch. For you that don't know a basket case is, it's someone that suffers from stress or has all 4 limbs amputated. I say who cares what it means its really cool. | Ryan and yo mama | ||
| Mandated Billy Goat | Based on a misheard version of lyrics in "Lo, How A Rose E'er Blooming" | Richard Wetfuss | ||

| Mango and Hulk Poop | My sister and her husband and myself were talking after watching Daredevil, and started discussing the new Hulk movie that was going to come out (since it was another of those comic book movies). My sister was slicing mangos, and while we were eating them I started to talk about potential band names. My brother suggested Mango and Hulk Poop, since Mango and Hulk just didn't sound good enough. | Loni | ||
| The Mango Jet Tease | I think its cool because of the play of words. I came up with it when I was ordering my all time favorite drink at Sip City the coolest coffee drive through place in Newberg:) | Danielle | ||
| The Mango's Revenge | Originated as a joke between me and my friends. The mangoes, I said, were sick of being eaten and wanted revenge. After we lost interest in the Fruit Wars, I thought it might make a cool band name. | Princess Ana | ||
| Mangy Angels | Sometimes women don't need to be supermodels to be attractive. | RevengeFromMars YouTube | ||
| Manhatten Rythem | Sounds cool, my new friend is from manhatten beach and he is the drummer | Todd | ||
