Your New Band Name Has Arrived

Creating a good band name is a difficult thing. A band's name should encompass the tone, style, and personality of the group all while being memorable, clever, and most of all, catchy. A band name can be clean and simple (The Band, The Jimi Hendrix Experience), complex (...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead), or seemingly nonsensical (Vampire Weekend, The Sea and Cake, et. al). Get it wrong and you'll end up like this.

But fear not good reader, Band Name Maker is here to help. The process is simple and outlined on the site. "Use band name generator engine to create random band names using our extensive database of hand-selected words. Our tool is useful for coming up with cool band names for rock, punk, emo, or other musical styles. If you like, type in your own word or phrase and our engine will randomly use that in the generation process."

We plugged in the word "centaur" and here's what happened:

  • Centaur Ire
  • Dirty of the Extra-Strength
  • Centaur Attack
  • Centaur Cadillac and The Gray Zenith
  • Lone Centaur
  • Centaur Wish
  • Centaur Shore
  • Teal of the Anti
  • Centaur Meat
  • Corrosive Centaur
Give it a go and see what you get. Post up your favorite originals or some of your favorite real band names here. Good luck.
