Good choir names usually take the name of their town or church, like St Winifred's Chamber Choir, while a cappella groups and barbershop quartets love a good pun, like Duly Noted. This choir name generator covers community, chamber, church, school and barbershop choirs, gives a cappella groups a name to sing under, and suggests concert titles too.
Eight good choir names
All eight came from the generator:
- St Winifred's Chamber Choir: a church and the size of the choir.
- Ullsmere Male Voice Choir: the classic name for a men's choir, a great tradition in Wales.
- Rosemoor Choral Society: a choral society is a large amateur choir, often singing big works with orchestra.
- Ashcombe Singers: simple and friendly for a community choir.
- Duly Noted: an a cappella pun on a musical word.
- Harmonic Motion: a pun that's also a real term, for a student a cappella group.
- Come and Sing Duruflé: a come-and-sing day, where singers learn and perform a work in one go.

Kinds of choir and how they're named
- Church and cathedral choirs take the church's name: St Dunstan's Singers, Wexley Abbey Choir.
- Community choirs and choral societies take the town's name. A choral society is usually large and sings oratorio and other big works.
- Chamber choirs are smaller and often sing unaccompanied.
- Male voice choirs are a proud tradition in Wales and the north of England.
- A cappella groups (Italian for "in the manner of the chapel") sing without instruments, and student groups especially love puns.
- Barbershop is four-part close harmony, with the lead singing the tune between tenor, baritone and bass.
Choose Choir name for a choir, A cappella group for a pun name, and Concert title for programmes like Songs of Spring or A Celebration of Madrigals.
Naming your choir
- Match the name to the music. A pun suits a pop a cappella group; a chamber choir singing Byrd wants something calmer.
- Put the place first if you want new singers to find you.
- Search the name locally and online. Choir puns are popular, and the best ones are often taken.
