How it works
This boy band name generator makes up a pop group for a story, a school show or a game: a name in one of four shapes and a line-up of five roles. No real group or singer is named.

The four shapes of a name
The names here come in four shapes, and the list under the tool is sorted by them: a number and a noun (Four Left Turns), a short phrase (Kings of Recess), initials with a number (L4R, short for Late for Rehearsal) and one bright word (Glowline).
Cast the line-up
Press New boy band. Tap the name to lock it, then press again to recast the five roles. Each line-up says what the members do or wear: sing lead, dance, rap, write the songs, forget a jacket.
Tips
- For a class show, deal one band to each group of five and let them pick their roles.
Questions and answers
How do you come up with a boy band name?
Pick a shape first: a number and a noun, a short phrase, initials or one bright word. Then say it the way an announcer would. If it sounds right before the words "live tonight", it works on a poster.
Are these the names of real boy bands?
Not that we could find. Every name was searched on Wikipedia, alone and with (band) or (group) after it, and against its pages on boy bands, and matches were left out. New groups form all the time, so search before you use one.
Why does every line-up have five members?
The line-up row is written for a group of five, with one role each. For a smaller group, give one member two roles; for a bigger one, press again and borrow from the next line-up.
Does it name real singers?
No. The page names no real group, singer or record label. The roles are stock parts, such as the shy one, the dancer and the songwriter.
