How to come up with a band name that stands out.
Hit all the right notes with your band's name using these essential tips.
Start with your sound
Think about your genre, vibe, and energy and how you want your name to represent your band. It can be raw and bold or smooth and expressive.
Play with word combinations
Mix two strong words, phrases, or visuals, like Arctic Monkeys or Radiohead. Unexpected combos often create names that feel fresh and memorable.
Consider visual impact
Picture the name on an album cover, poster, or stage banner. Think of how iconic names like The Rolling Stones or Paramore stand out visually. A great name looks just as good as it sounds.
Avoid common clichés
Skip overused words like “band,” “project,” or generic genre terms that feel flat or overdone. Go for something unique that helps you stand out in a search.
Say it out loud
Say your band name out loud like you're being introduced on stage. Imagine someone saying, “Make some noise for [Name] !” If it sounds awkward or mumbled, it might be a sign to try something else.
Check for originality
Before choosing a name, search Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube. If the name is already taken by another band, it will probably confuse listeners or affect your visibility.

Search for the name on Google, Spotify, YouTube, and social media. Then check domain name availability. 10Web’s Band Name Generator includes a built-in domain check so you can secure your name and launch your website right away.
What makes a good band name?
A good band name should be:
- Short and easy to remember
- Connected to your sound or vibe
- Unique and original
- Easy to pronounce and spell
- Visually appealing
Think about how the name fits your band’s identity now and how it might grow with you.
What should I consider when naming my band?
Before naming your band, think about these key points:
- Your genre and tone: How do you want your name to represent the music you make?
- Your audience: Will your fans connect with the name or find it confusing
- Long-term potential: Choose something that still fits if your sound evolves.
- Availability: Make sure the name isn’t already in use by another band or brand.
- Searchability: A unique name makes it easier for fans to find you online.
Taking time to think these through can save you from rebranding later.
Is it illegal to copy a band name?
Yes, copying a band name can lead to legal trouble, especially if the name is already in use or trademarked. Even if the band is not widely known, having the same name can create confusion and make it harder for you to stand out. Always check online, search music platforms, and look for trademarks before choosing a name. It’s safer to go with something original that clearly belongs to you.
