Names -> Cool Band Names -> P, 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.

| P***y Spank | I saw an album cover by Lords of Acid with a cat hissing on the front and said aloud, "That p****'s about to be spanked." My friend thought it'd be a great band name with a hissing cat on the album cover looking backwards at a gloved hand. An all girl band, of course...but I never had the drive or motivation to do it. | Jenja | ||
| P.B.J.C.T.S | It stands for "Peanut Butter Jelly Chicken Tuna Sandwich". If you don't know where I came up with this, buy Eminem's "Encore", and then listen to "Rain Man". | phamilto | ||

| PAinLe$$ | I once was having a rubella vaccination in my local health clinic in my home town of San Diego, CA. when my doctor said "It will be quick and PAINLESS" I thought it would be a cool band name for a rock band. | I-am-to-lazy-to- type- my- name | ||

| Pale Contraband | Beaker, Blue | |||
| Palestinian Palates | I just like the sound of it and think it would be nice for a band. Palestine always sounded like a cool name to me and it goes nice with palate. This would suit a hard rock band. | The Glam Queen | ||
| Paleus | This is the technical or "latin" term for the cap of the mushroom. I always thought this would make a neat name for a psychadelic 60's rock music band but in light of todays acidrock music it could also be a cool technoband name. Go figgah... | holy of holies | ||
| Palindromania | I love palindromes! | Lori Blonde | ||

| Palindromes | My full name is a palindrome in real life! | Secret | ||

| Palpatine's Undershorts | Star Wars fans rejoice! Finally there is a band for us! | IHaveNoBrain | ||
| Paluka | It is cool because it's not original. I came up with this name when I was looking at the back of a fudge slice wrapper. | Dane Place | ||
| Pancake Phenomenon | They all have to wear suspenders cause they have flat asses and all could have flat top doos' and play with all the amps flat open, and all thier groupies are flat chested. What if they could blast tunes so good it could flatten your head. | badboybear | ||

| Panda On Fire | It's an inside joke between me and my friend. She says if you said that, people would actually look for it. They would think it was cute or something. That's what she thinks. She thinks it sounds cute. And it does. | Katie | ||

| Pander | I was looking through some words of mythology and came across it. It is in Homer's ILIAD. | Andy | ||
| Pandora | Just think. A punk band with the same name as the Goddess of Chaos. It's awesome. I was fiddling around with names, and that one came up. | Gunnar Leslan | ||
| Pandora's Box | In greek mythology, Pandora's box held all the emotions in the world until one day it was opened and the emotions of anger, , , (basically the seven ly ones) later it was opened to release hope for the people. | Kite | ||

| Pandora's LunchBox | heh, I was playing a game and at one point the characters talked about Pandoras box, and I, having the nickname LunchBox, thought it sounded cool. | LunchBox | ||
| Pandora's Paradigm | I think it's cool cause obviously everyone knows the story about Pandora's Box but a paradigm is a shift. Since Pandora's Box is full of emotions, each one must shift around til one emotion becomes more dominant than the rest. Sorta like a split personality. Imma make that mine. | David | ||
| Pangolin Peyote | Makes me think of tough-shelled marsupials smoking Navajo pipes. Maybe this could work for a trippy country-rock band, like Poco or The Eagles on acid. | Scrappleberry | ||
| Panic Button | I came up with it when I was looking at my keyboard.I stuck a red button on it and it said "PANIC",so I just went with it. I like it because when you flip out, you press the panic button(hehe). | ub3rh4x0r | ||
| Pankies! | It does have a story to it (yay). So my friend was playing counterstrike and his friend was saying the, "Do you like waffles?" thing. He then said, "Do you like pankies?" (pancakes of course) and the people that have mics carry on to cuss him out. The End. | not-so-superman | ||

| Papaphobia | It means 'the fear of the Pope'. It's funny and cool. | yoMamaSbOYfRiEnd | ||

| Papercut | I was trying to come up with a band name at the end of one of our math classes and I asked this other kid what a cool band name would be, and he said papercut because even though a papercut is small it hurts really bad and bleeds alot. | metalrocker#9 | ||

| Papermoon | From the movie of the same name. | Future Backer | ||

| Papparazzi Destorys Fate | Basically I was listening to Lady GaGa's song Papparazzi and it made me think of how so many artists have not been able to handle the papparazzi, so I came up with this name and I thought it sound pretty cool. | SamuelSacrafice. | ||

| Paradox | I'm in a school band and we don't have a name yet, so I was thinking of band names.

| Parallax | It is a science term that means "A group of stars." So if you think your group is a group of stars, use this name!! | James | ||
| Parallel Crossroads | It sounds tight it is like burning water and vertical herizon... never could happen | Mitchell Z | ||
| paranoid phobias | It would be cool for a screamo punk rock band. You think people are out to get you,and you're scared of them. I was just randomly looking in the dictionary and those 2 words popped up! | willy m. | ||

| The Parking Tickets | I came up with it after I saw my friend's dad's parking ticket in the table | Fatima | ||
| The Parralax | I was looking through the dictionary and found the word 'parralax'. I don't care what it means. But it sounded like something Muse would play. (Muse is a huge influence to me.) [Ed.'s note: It's actually spelled 'parallax', and it means 'the apparent displacement of an observed object due to a change in the position of the observer'.] | chris scoggins | ||
| The Parsley Nobody Eats | This is based on a dirty dad joke, which goes "What is the difference between parsley and p****? Nobody eats parsley". Would be perfect for brothers whose last name is Parsley. | Rock Maninoff | ||
| Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Time | It's a lyric from the Simon & Garfunkel classic "Scarborough Fair". And since Scarborough is a city in Canada, it would be perfect for a Canadian band. | Simon & Garfield | ||
| Part Of The Path | Some of the people in the band are a bit emo. This refers to comitting suicide by jumping off a building and hitting the ground so hard that you practically become "Part of the Path" | JB | ||
| Part-Time Christian Lunch | A combination of two former Alternative Tentacles records bands Part-Time Christians and Christian Lunch doing a duet album. I actually suggest this to the company as an idea, but of course, it never fell through. | The Skuz | ||
| Party Da Freak | I once was singing a French Christmas song at a friend's house. It's words included "Melchior et Balthazar sont partis d'Afrique avec le roi Gaspar" ("Melchoir and Balthazar have left Africa with the king Gaspar"). My friend's young daughter later asked me to "sing that Party Da Freak song again". She had heard "partis d'Afrique" ("left [from] Africa") as Party Da Freak. (Incidentally, I believe the song I was singing is somewhat tongue-in-cheek. There is some serious disagreement as to where the Magi came from, but this song has the only claim I've encountered that they came from Africa.) | Regina Haniger | ||
| Party Enema | Sounds almost like "party animal". And if everything goes right, you'l have a "party in your pants". | Orel Hershyster | ||
| party for 5 | I just kept hearing people at restraunts say it and i thought if your band had 5 or any amount of people, it would be cool. | julian | ||
