How the Boy Band Name Generator Works

It works from 568 names and name parts, which combine into over 14,000 possible results.

The choices:

What are you naming?:
- Band name, e.g. Summer Crew
- Member name, e.g. Aiden Cross
- Album, e.g. Wild Rooms

Each press gives you 8 names. "Show 8 more" adds 8 you haven't seen yet. Once you've seen them all, "Start again" shuffles the whole list again.

Good boy band names are easy to scream: a number, a catchphrase or one bold word, like the names the big pop groups used. This boy band name generator makes band names, member names and album titles in those shapes, from 90s-style numbers to one-word comebacks.

Eight good boy band names

All eight came from the generator, with member names and an album:

Twenty Cities: a number and a promise of a world tour.
Boys Like Us: the catchphrase name, made to be screamed back.
6IX: a number in the spelling, the way 5ive styled itself.
The Quinn Brothers: a family name, for a band of real or honorary brothers.
Hold Tight: a phrase that's also a chorus.
Finn Knight: a member name with two short, bright syllables.
Reuben Sinclair: a member name for the serious one.
Right Where We Belong: an album title made for the reunion tour.

How boy bands get their names

Numbers and spelling. Five styled itself 5ive, *NSYNC played with capitals, and Boyz II Men put a Roman numeral in the middle. The generator makes names like Twelve Lanes, Five Nights and 6IX.
A phrase. Take That was a phrase; so is Right Here.
A word with energy. Avalanche, Rebound, Sundown.
Brothers. From the Jackson 5 to the Jonas Brothers, family bands use the surname. That's where The Gray Brothers comes from.

Plenty of famous boy bands were put together on television: One Direction were formed on The X Factor in 2010. Choose Member name for a full line-up of friendly, easy-to-chant names, and Album for titles like Long Way Home or simply II.

Using the names

For a story or a school show, give each member a type: the heartthrob, the joker, the quiet one. Five names from the generator make a band.
For a real band, check Spotify, YouTube and social handles before you print a single T-shirt, and make sure the name isn't trademarked.

For the other half of the charts, try the Girl Group Name Generator, or the K-pop Name Generator for a group in the K-pop style. For a solo career after the split, there's the Pop Star Name Generator.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good name for a boy band?

Something short and easy to scream: a number (Twenty Cities), a catchphrase (Boys Like Us) or one bold word (Avalanche). The famous ones, from Take That to 5ive, all work when a crowd shouts them.

Can I make names for each member?

Yes. Choose Member name for a first name and surname for each member, like Finn Knight or Reuben Sinclair. Generate five and you have a line-up.

Are these real boy bands?

No, they're made up. Short band names are often taken, though, so search a name before you use it for a real act.
