Names -> Cool Band Names -> T, 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.

Name		Origin		Submitted by:
T. B. A.		To be announced. It's a great name! "T. B. A. is having a concert today." Genius!		Jeff Mig
T.M.I.		I can't believe I'm the first person to think of this. (For you cave-dwellers, this is a common acronym for Too Much Information).		Ken Blackman
T.O.U.C.H.		THE ORGASM YOU CAN HAVE.		RANA
T.V. for Chickens		John Green came up with the name. vlogbrothers		Patryk
T3mptress		i was surfing the web for a band name and i saw on a sight it was in a phrase, and i kinda liked it. so i changed the e to a 3 to make it look different. i dont know tho		Inoaku
T4 Hotties		I had a pop magazine called tvhits and at the bottom it had the name of popstars. In among it was T4 Hotties (T4 is a TV programme). And I thought that T4 Hotties sounded a good name for a pop group, as it was in among names of popstars.		Tony
The Tabloid Generation		It's actually a Goo Goo Dolls lyric, but ever since I heard it, I always thought it was an awesome idea for a band name. I mean think about it...		Cate
Tabula Rasta		Tabula Rasa means clean slate (basically starting over). Thus, the name Tabula RASTA would be perfect for some new Reggae band.		Nick Prol
The Tactical One Handers		This is my current band name. I was reading a knife ad and it said "The Tactical One Hander". i thought it was witty and provocative enough to be the name of our post-grunge, punk band.		Eric Thomas
Tae-Kwon-Dodo		Um, we were watching Ice Age, and I do Tae-Kwon-Do, so some kid made a stupid remark, which I actually think is kind of funny now.		Douglas Bucksworth aka D.B.
Tai Mai Shu		Well I dunno I was on habbohotel.com one day and this guy had this name ~TaiMaiShu~ and I asked him what it meant and hes like "Tie My Shoe"...Jeez I didn't even notice that when I came up to him.

Tainted Beef		My brother got a hamburger from this restaurant and it was still bleeding, so we came up with this name.		black star
Take Off Thine Pants		If you want to be totally inappropriate...		IHaveNoBrain
Take The Payne		Quite cool because pain is spelt differently. I found this name while I was playing "Max Payne" on my xBox and suddenly this came to my head.		Fantasy
Taken		My cousin and I were looking at band names on the Internet, and they were all taken. So he suggested 'Taken'.		Shaefer
Taken Literally		It's fun to say "My favorite band is Taken Literally"		Misha
Taken Property		I stole someone's lunchbox; and then I thought I took someone's property. Then I thought that would be a cool band name "Taken Property".		susan sky
Taking Back Pentacle		Even though it sounds like Taking Back Sunday, it's cool because it's about winning back something that was ruined by what people think. Like a reputation or the ancient sign of paganism.		Sarle
Taking Back Subway		it came from the band name taking back sunday, and i like subway, except when they put to much mayo on the sub then i take it back		thursday
The Talentless Hacks		This is the name of my band. I just sort of gathered together a bunch of amateur musicians, and we started to jam a bit. We sounded completely awful, so I said that we sounded like a bunch of talentless hacks. We practised and got better, but the name sticks.		Fish
Tales Untold		I had the spontaneous urge to come up with a bunch of band names. *shrugs*		Justine Longborn

Talking Out Your Butt		What my Dad says most politicians do.		IHaveNoBrain
Talkover		First thing I saw when I just looked to the right.		DarkJon64
The Tallahassee Tigers		I like it because it's alliterative. And I just think cat names are cool. I don't know what kind of music they'd play though. But I think there should be a band with the word tigers in it so I just put it together with the first U.S. city that I thought of that started with T. Tallahassee would obviously be the band's hometown.		Edward
Tallywackers		Me and my friends were walking down a road near some old pubs, and we saw a homeless man. On impulse, I took out a 1p coin and said to him "Now my man, would you juggle for a shiny penny?" Upon which he called me a tally wacker. Whatever that is		Ringo Starr

Tamagotchi Histaria		My friend has 23 tamagotchies and at 2:00 in the morning they all started beeping..It was histaria.		Romy
The Tamanduas		A good obscure animal name. Tamanduas are a type of South American anteater, intermediate in size between their two closest living relatives, the giant anteater and the silky anteater.		D. Melody Dole, MD
The Tampons		I think it's best for an all girl group, because only girls use tampons		Alice Spoonerism

Tangerine And Banshee Band		As a child, I always got the words "tangerine" and "tambourine" confused. And from the first time I heard someone refer to a banshee, I thought it was an intentional or unintentional alteration of the word "banjo".		Tess O. Gosset
Tangerine Love Puppies		a friend of mine and one of his old friends used to have this friend that agreed with everything they said whether he knew what they were talkin about or not. one day they were askin him if he liked certain bands, and they knew he hadn't heard of half of them, so to mess with his mind, they asked him if he liked the tangerine love puppies and he said he loved them.		greg
Tangerine War		one bleak boring saurday night in my little suburban home town, my friends and i found a crate of rotting citris and made our fun. monday, a friend thought i was talking about a band when i described my weekend activities.		mongoloid
Tangram Giraffes		Our homework was to make giraffes out of tangrams, and so we thought it would be a cool band name.		Kate & Jennie
Tantalizer		Cuz I was thinking one day and I thought I'll just look in a dictionary, so I did and I saw it means to turn someone on. lol :]		Rebecca
Tantric Grannies		Their album: "Under The Quilt" Their single: "Shrivled Fingers"		Meli
Tanya Rose & The Buffalo Chip Kickers		What better name for a hillbilly band? We took a picture of a buffalo head nickel, changed a back leg to a kicking position with a meadow muffin (manure) flying off the buffalo's hoof and the band's name at the top of the nickel. That's our band logo. My husband thought of the name.		Tanya Rose
Tapeworm		It is both unpleasant and a reference to recoding music all in one name. That is perfect for rock and roll.		Bobby Guitar
Tappit		Something random I came up with last year		Brionna Secret
Tara Rising		Sounds like it could be someone named Tara. Actually it is a pun on "terrorizing".		Blake DeKalb

Tarantula Joy Hypnosis		It is cool because it is probably the most random band name you will ever hear.		Travis
Tarantula Joy Hypnosis		I used my initials and made a name for our band which doesn't have a lead guitar or drummer.		Travis
Tarnished Halos (or Haloes, if you prefer)		I thought of it in connection with Hell's Angels, and it kind of spiraled out from there. I'm picturing an angry-girl-group type thing -- think of The Supremes getting the spotlight back from Diana Ross ...		Spoon
The Tart Choppers		"Tart Choppers" is a spoonerism of "chart toppers"		D. Melody Dole, MD
The Taste Buds		Kinda rolls off your tongue, doesn't it?		old
Taste The Rainbow		It's the Skittles tagline...did I need to explain that?		G

The Tavadors		Met a guy with the surname Tavador at a festival over the summer and thought it sounded kind of cool.		Jojo
Tayla Loves Dave		this name comes from my favorite website, www.davegrohl'sbestkeptsecret.com. It is run by a crazy Canadian lady who swears up and down that she's Dave Grohl's mistress. That's pretty cool in my book.		Nyla
TBA		Stands for: To Be Announced. It justs sounds like a cool name too.		The Alex Basso
TBD (Translucent Blue Dolphins)		Because I have some and I am to be determined sometime. The band is a 60's psychedelic type band.		Ted Stone

Teachers		Many may use your music to practice or "teach" themselves.		NICKI
Teachers That Need Ritilin		My friends and I (who are all teachers) were at a teacher's conference and acting really off the wall. Someone we knew saw us and said, "You guys should be on Ritilin!" (One of the big controversies in education is the use of the drug Ritilin for children who have ADHD, Attention Deficit - Hyperactivity Disorder.) So I thought it would be wonderfully ironic to have a band made up of teachers who need Ritilin because they and not necessarily their kids are off the wall too!		Fred
Teacup Airplane Takeover!		My friend said it for some unknown reason and I thought it would be a cool band name		umm
Team 17		It was my team's number in the mini basketball tournament my primary school had years ago. I thought the rhyme in it sounded pretty cool.		Ryan
Tears Drop On My Converse		Its a good name for an emo band!		SuperXero
Tears Full of Blood		emo??		Sara Hamilton
Tears Of A Tree		God died on a cross which is made out of wood which is from a tree. The tears kinda represent his blood or his own tears...plus it sounds cool		David
Tears of Blood		Words could also be rearranged as Crying Blood etc. I got it from a picture on the net of a little girl crying tears of blood. Sounds depressing but i like it.		Missy
Tears of the Damned		I was listening to the Queen of the Damned soundtrack and thinking about depressing, gothic-type stuff. Would make a good name for a death metal or goth metal band, I think.		OnixxFilth
The Teats		c'mon, how stupidly unoriginal would "The Teats' be-- you could have a ginat dancing boob like Iron Maiden's Eddie!		Colin
Tebowmaniac		A play off "Tebowmania"		JeReMy
Technical Ecstasy		It's one of Black Sabbath's album names, but not an actual band name. It sounds cool as Hell.		Duston
Technicolor Scream		Slang for vomiting.		Donny
Technicolor Weather		I saw this was the name of an episode of the TV series Strangest Weather On Earth. And I thought, that would make a great band name. I can't decide what style of music they'd play though.		Edward
Ted Braun		It's a character from a German show called "Loriot". The guy is just real chilled and layed back, so we (my band and I) named us after him :P		max
Teddybear Overflow		My ex girl frends bed had too many teddy bears and no room 4 me!		Dave W
Teenage Billy Goat's Armpit		It's from a Zits comic I read a few years ago. Jeremy's mom comments on how smelly his bedroom is and she says it smells like "a teenage billy goat's armpit", probably referring to Jeremy. This sounds cool for an indie rock band that plays music that teenagers like Jeremy would like.		The Mole
Teenage Golf Balls		My boss is an avid golf fan with teenage children. She had mentioned that none of the balls she putted ever went in the hole. She called them "Teenage Golf Balls" because they never did what she wanted them to, just like a teenager.		boss
Teenage Hearts are Unisex		Somebody said this about the emo bands and how girls like the music when emo is sort-of a "boys-club only." And its true. Teenagers feelings are unisex.		Chokex
Teenage Hormones		I just figured that most of the people on this site are hormonal teenagers so get what it's like to be a hormonal teenager whereas parents don't. so it would be for non-adults, and would drive parents crazy because of the songs you could come out with.		Aimee
Teenage Immaculate Romance		Isn't it pretty? It describes me and my friends' attitude toward romance. We're teenagers, we're "immaculate" (pure), but we still like boys! It just sort of popped into my head one day.		Maggie
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Doves		I saw a Christmas performance by a middle school choir. One bizarre part was a performance of "The Twelve Days Of Christmas" in which only one member of the choir was onstage at a time. Each one was dressed or otherwise acting out the gift referred to in each verse of the song. The one for the second day was a girl who part of the time flapped her arms in imitation of bird wings to act out the dove part. For the turtle part she was wearing on her back a plastic turtle shell that was from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles merchandise. Sort of a reaching portrayal, since mere wing flapping doesn't specify a dove among birds, and a turtle dove really sports nothing resembling a turtle shell! Nonetheless the portrayal gave me this idea for a band name.		Adlai Alda
Teenage Redditors		A lot of Reddit users are teenagers...so this name might work well for a rock band consisting of redditors		Whoopi Goldberg Cushion
Teenage Roadkill		Me and my dad were in driving to the mall and these guys were balancing on a high snowbank on the side of the highway. My dad said "If these guys aren't careful they're gonna end up being teenage roadkill." I think it's a cool name for a band or a song by a punk/ corporate rock group.		~*~Rebecca M~*~
Teenage Wasteland		Its from "The Who" song, "Baba O'reily." I think its a really cool song....especially when you hear "....It's only teenage wasteland," at the end		Obvious Reasons
Teewinot		It's the name of a mountain... it just sounds kind of like a folk band or something.		Mikey
Teflon Surprise		This is just the weirdest word combo ever without being over the top and senseless. It makes me think of "tuna surprise"...gross.		Rachel
teh n00bz		Self-deprecating. Please spell it lowercase.		dxman
teh unicrons		Charlie the unicorn, saw it there, you'd think it's misspelled on the keyboard, but that's actually the name, and pronounced "teh unicrons."		uri
Teic 2		It's pronunced like Take 2 but it stands for (The End Is Coming too soon)		Rob
Teletone		When I think of a telephone, I always wander into the word "tone". So I combined these two words to make Teletone.		Will
Teletubbies in Afghanistan		I find this hillarious because when I was watching the news, they took a call from a hippe dude about wut to do with Al Quida, and he said to get planes to spray sleep powder (cant remember the chemical name)on the terroriest and then send our solidiers in dressed in telebtubbie suits. Its funny when u think about it! First Hit Single : Spraying the Gass First Album : Eho!		Desolate Messiah
The Televangelust		You would get it if you knew what a televangelist was.		Stiv Bators
Teloopcakes		Someone submitted this as a misheard lyric from "The Reflex" by Duran Duran. I don't know what that person was thinking, and I certainly don't know what teloopcakes are.		Dutch

The Templar Agents		a friend and I were talking about history and RPG. Specificly about his Templar Agents and the historical value of that. I was thinking "dude, thats a great progressive rock band name. it has historical value, and weird at the same time."		the lady of prog
Temporary Immortality		This came from a very strange conversation with a friend, on boring ways to achieve immortality. Besides, it's got that cool oxymoron vibe to it.		subject to change
