Names -> Cool Band Names -> N, 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 N, Page 1
Entries starting with N are split into multiple pages: 1 2 3 4
Name | Origin | Submitted by: | ||
| N.A.T.O [No Action Talk Only] | thats cool??? | Akha Maulana | ||
| N.O.D. (Nation of Domination) | We came up with this during a school project. We thought it was cool because its original and sounds heavy metalish. | mike and tyler | ||
| N.W.S. ( No Warning Shots ) | Well me and my friends had decided to make a band. Our first name had been Caution. But we said no because well it was gay. So we thought of No Warning Shots and then abbreviated it to N.W.S. Its cool cuz well it just sounds cool !!! | Zak | ||
| N/A | Of course that would mean "Not Applicable", as in when asked what kind of music they play. For one of those eclectic alt-pop bands. | rocky | ||
| n00ps and KRoF | spoon and fork...backwards...n00ps is my nickname | VooDooXII | ||
| Nabobs Of Negativism | I think it was President Nixon who once referred to the media as nattering nabobs of negativism. I just took off the word nattering because that's just too long. I like it because I like alliteration for one thing. I think it sounds like a punk rock, hard rock kind of band name. I'm not exactly sure what a nabob is. But, with lots of these punk rock bands with their songs that are all about being unhappy and how life sucks and being rebellious because the world (in their minds) is a miserable place, it's a great name for a band with that musical style. You know, for people who think everything is hopeless. | Edward | ||
| Nada Dada | This would have been a 'real band name' had I ever been in a 'real band'. We practised a few times in a cellar and talked about it a lot. I chose the name to wind the 'bassist' up, but since found out it means 'Nothing Given' in Spanish (thanks to Babel Fish translator) and that there is some sort of Festival named Nadadada. Why is it cool? Well apart from it's meaning in Spanish, the allusions to the Dada anti-art movement, and the silly childish 'dadada' sound. Is this a legitimate entry? Well the 'band' don't exist and never really did, and as far as I'm concerned the name is up for grabs | Chris | ||
| Nadir | Means the lowest point on Earth. | Alex | ||
| Naerok | "Korean" backwards; I have a Korean friend who suggested this name as she is proud of her heritage. Would this be a great name for a Korean band? | Daniel | ||
| Nah, That's A Bit Obvious!!! | It suits my personality. I came up with it, as I'm grumpy and rude and stroppy. But, I am kind hearted. | Samia | ||
| The Naifes | there this dude at school that my friends call naife or naifie its so funny...they even changed the lyrics to stacy's mum (good times good times) | Strange Polly | ||
| Nailbreaker | Another riot-grrl group, along the lines of Hole or Kittie. With a name like Nailbreaker, their songs might be about dispelling gender stereotypes. Or something. | Olvan The Terrible | ||
| The Naked Barbie Hour | What is it with kids taking the clothes off of Barbie dolls? Everytime I see a Barbie she is nude and her hair is all messed up. | Mitch | ||
| The Naked Flames | When my brothers band first got together, they had to come up with a name for their first gig. I looked down at my lighter and it said something like, 'Be careful around naked flames.' So I said, 'How about The Naked Flames?' They have a different name now, but I still think that ones cool. | Cat | ||
| Naked Potato | I think it's cool because it's just so random. It's not expected. It's also got the word 'naked' in it, which is usually reason enough. I came up with it when I was searching for the perfect sn with my friends..I decided on someting similar, but it now reminds me of the mango charactor on snl..(I don't know why, but it's cool enough to me..A wrinkled old man with no clothes on and with a russian accent mutteriung things like, 'I am the very much will be sexy. I being am too sexy for you..) olk, a bit off subject, but to sum it all up, the naked potato could kick darth vader's ass. | Ali Morgan | ||
| Naked Swedish Supermodels Covered In Cake | A friend of mine once said we should start a Glam Rock group and that our first album should feature the submitted name as its cover. | GlamRockNinjaLord | ||
| Naked Toast and the Butter Knives | I have an obsession with toast and toasters. (I even wrote a song called "Toaster") My friend Jill and I were talking about what would happen if toast was "naturally buttered"....then we started talking about toast in the wild....wild, free, and naked. Naked toast being toast that isn't buttered, of course. So out of that came Naked Toast and the Butter Knives. Their hit-"Lay Some Butter on Me" | amanda | ||
| Nallyistic | I saw that written down on the bathroom walls and decided to post it here so you guys can use it as a band name. The first part could either rhyme with "rally" or "volley", it's up to you! | Joe S. | ||
| Name and the Adjective Blanks | I was telling my brother that if I ever have a band that I would name it something using the structure of Name and the Adjective Blanks (ie. my personal favorite, Saint Genevieve and the Sexy Opossums). I then realized that it's cool by itself! | saint genevieve | ||
| Name Withheld | It's not really that cool. A friend and I had a brief, doomed acoustic duo act in college and this is what we called ourselves. We thought that if anyone ever called our college radio station and requested our music, the DJ would then be able to say "And now...Name Withheld, by request." No one ever called. | Jess | ||
| Nameless | I just think it sounds cool. Like you don't need to be grouped by your name. | Rosa | ||
| Nameless Conviction | I don't know but it sounds like cool! | Thomas | ||
| Naming Convention | A term that is constantly used at work. to identify stuf. Sounds like technical speak - | Brandon Lovato | ||
| Namocatcat | My old roommate in college was dating a Filipino girl, and this was her last name. Before he started dating her, I knew of her. A bunch of guys were looking for a name for their band and I suggested this. It's very original and kind of futuristic sounding, maybe, but also amusing and fun to say. And it is not something you forget. | A | ||
| Nanook and the Blubberchewers | Yeah they could be the best jamming group north of the arctic circle. | badboybear | ||
| NaO2 | The chemical formula for sodium Hydroxide, the active corrosive agent in drainpipe cleaners. It just seems to have a pathological death meal vibe to it, kind of like a combo of Cannibal Corpse and Soylent Green. | rate of decay | ||
| Nap 'Til Nine | I was talking to a friend about our plans for the evening and he said "m going to have dinner, nap 'til nine, then we'll go out." It sounds like a good name for a Ben Fold Five or Morphine type band | Nick | ||
| Napolean and the Arsenics | Napolean died of Arsenic poisioning, but the autopsy was bodged and it said he died of stomach cancer. The truth about his death was'nt revealed until the 1960's and even then most people didn't beleive it. | Henry | ||
| Napoleon Carbonite | The opposite of Napoleon Dynamite? | RevengeFromMars YouTube | ||
| Narcissus | the ultimate 80's style rock band. big hair, spandex and ,of course, mirrors everywhere. | mongoloid | ||
| Narcoleptic Insomniacs | A band with this name would almost certainly be indie/new wave; their big break would be earning a supporting slot for an Interpol tour. It's a fun name I came up with out of the blue. I'd say the words are contradictory in nature but are there actual N.I.'s out there? People who can't sleep apart from spontaneous, narcoleptic bursts? I'm curious... | Nerrticus | ||
| The Narcoleptic Security Guards | I got it after watching an episode of Seinfeld. Security guards must be on full alert, and for them to have a sleeping disorder, well, the humor is quite obvious... | joe b | ||
| Narcotics For Neurotics | When one of those words is misheard for another in conversation, as my brother and I discovered, things can turn out pretty hilarious... but anyway, that's what music's supposed to be, right, your own personal therapy? | Alex | ||
| Nards | I came up with this while i was looking at mine. | Dude | ||
| Narekevoli | Backwards it says "I love Karen" but the fans would never figure that out plus it sounds weird and cool! kinda foreign | Maggie | ||
| Nat King Coleslaw | Everyone has heard of Nat King Cole, and everyone knows about coleslaw, so why not have a mashup? | Matt | ||
| Nat Turner and The Slaves | While studying for AP US History we looked over Nat Turner the abolitionist and the slaves he supported and we though, Imagine a band named Nat Turner and the slaves | U3 | ||
| The Nation of Facebook | Facebook would be the 3rd largest country if it was it's own country, only behind China and India. | JeReMy | ||
| National Nipple Day | A random person shouted it at me in the hallway today. | Rahsar | ||
| National Whatever Month | Something a friend said about his feelings on there being just one official month in celebration of anything. He thought we should assign every month a title. | GlamRockNinjaLord | ||
| Natural Disasters | It sounds cool. Instead of naming your band one type of weather, you can just call them natural disasters. | jason f | ||
| Natural Hair Colour | too many artists are dying their hair these days, can't they just be real? A band who's against fakes. | Tash | ||
| Natural Plastic | Because plastic isn't natural. | Lance Crackers | ||
| Nature Droid Duck Pirates | Me and Tirza came up with it. | Chazm | ||
| Nature Envy | I heard it in a cartoon once when i was a little kid, but i have no idea what it really is or what cartoon it's from. | Cliff Knee | ||
| Nature Of The Beast | No explination necesary, it speaks for itself! My friend says, "Well that's the nature of the beast for ya". | Martin | ||
| Naught to Three Sad Onions | It's from the Internet reviewer Ashens. This is how he describes the common way companies marks something as being unsafe for children under 3, mocking the pictures resemblance to an onion. | JeReMy | ||
| Naughty Squirrels | One day I was sitting down and I look in a tree and I see three squirrels going at it, so I decided to name my band Naughty Squirrles... but we don't have three-somes, mostly because there's five of us. | Angilee | ||
| Naughty Zoot | I'm a Monty Python fan and in "Monty Python and The Holy Grail", one of the knights goes to a castle full of women and discovers that the twin zoot had faked that the grail was there. Bad naughty zoot. | Anthony Wagner | ||
| Naunie | In Walmart, I punched my brother in the stomach, and I felt bad. So I rubbed it. Then he said jokingly, "Now say 'Naughty, naughty'". But I thought he said, "Naunie". | Ashe | ||
| Naunie and the Pista Chios | I heard my brother say, "Naughty", but I thought he said, "Naunie". The second part is from a bag of pistachios that I misread, and thought it said 'Pista Chios'. | ASH | ||
| NAUSEA | i was sitting at the t.v and saw a cartoon and there was a turtle sitting down saying he was nausiouse or how ever u spell it and then it clicked that NAUSEA would be a kool name for my new band. | daniel | ||
| The Navel Semen | A pun on "Naval Seamen". Plus, it'll be cool to have a band name with both "navel" (belly button) and "semen" (no need to elaborate) in it. | Patti Page-Turner | ||
| Nayed Frot | A pun and spoonerism on "frayed knot/fraid not" | Lefty Lucy | ||

| Nazi Pirate Zombie Ninjas | Four humorous memes all in one, and one heck of a humorous image to boot! | IHaveNoBrain | ||
| Nazz T. Lixx | A Motley-ized soundalike for "Nasty Licks." Could be a solo performer or a great name for a guitarist. Hair, anyone? | Chuck Fensch | ||
| Nbdy-Crs | It's "Nobody Cares," without the vowels, and pronounced "nubbdy curse." It's the curse of nobody caring, but hey, nobody cares, right? | some weirdo | ||
| Near Death Experience | An NDE can change your outlook on life. This band's music should do the same. | Peter, Simon, and Toy | ||
| Near Miss | When reporters say two planes nearly miss colliding. Isn't it two planes nearly hit each other? | Aggerman | ||
| Near Sighted Outreach | LOOOK AT IT | Jesse Anderson | ||
| Neato Fritos | I just say it sometimes. I refuse to use ordinary slang that everyone in the world copies from everyone else and then some. oh yeah and then the first album could be "Fritos are Gross". | waverly | ||
| Nebula | A scientific name, sounds magical. | Haizie | ||
| The Necco Issue | After I got an albino rat (Necco) as a pet, my dad's girlfriend said "Why would you get a rat? they're so disgusting??!!?!" And i said "Leave me alone. Necco's MY issue, get off my case!" So now we call him The Necco Issue.... it could have soemthing to do with the candy, who knows... | Dweezil | ||
| Necrophobic | A fear of the dead? Anything more wicked than that? | 1SiX | ||
| Necropolis | Well, I had a stupid spelling test, and it just happened that this word came up. It means "Land of the Dead" in Latin. | Erik Silveira | ||

| Negative Sides Of A Square | This was one of the many chronic jokes of my 7th grade advanced math class. We were doing something with geometry and square roots, when I suddenly asked "But WHY can't you have a negative side of a square?" I guess this one says 'we do not exist,' or at least 'our existence is questionable.' | kelpylion | ||
| Negative Zero | Error message on a calculator and general overall humor. | simmade13 | ||
| Negative Zero | This was myband's name for 3 years. It was AWESOME.....Alot of people liked it because if makes no sense! You cannot have a negative zero but the logo looked cool ( Ex. -O ) and made all our fans actually THINK and use their math skillz... | Ian | ||
| The Negative Zeros | JustMeAgainstTheWorld101 | |||
| The Negatives | My friend Amber and my other friend Maragrita were joking the other day and M called Amber a zero and Amber goes well you're a negative! and it came to me - The Negatives! a cool band name! | JustMeAgainstTheWorld101 | ||
| Negitive Nancy | I heard someone call a person a "negitive Nancy" once, and it definatly stuck with me. With all the kooky band names out in the world, this one would fit in well. | bob | ||
| The Neglected | I think this is a cool band name for a band who are about complaining about important subjects like Rage Against The Machine (a kick a** band ). I can't remember how I made up the name because I was drunk at the time. | random-person | ||
| The Neglected | well im not sure if it's a band already but one day i was sitting at my friends houde and he was messing around saying that he got neglected and then his brother was like me too and then i said hey you two are the neglected kids | v.i.x | ||

| The Nematoads | Hah, those nematoads! | Riachu | ||

| Neon Black | It just sounded cool to me! | Tori | ||

| Nephilim | It's a human/demon hybrid, and it sounds so great!!! I'd use it, but I'm a Jesus freak! ^_^ | C! | ||
| Nerb | Kinda like nerd, kinda like Nerf but just not. It's Nerb. Has no meaning so that makes it easy. And spelled backwards it is Bern, which still isn't a word but its a hommonym of a word. | Jeff | ||
