Names -> Cool Band Names -> S, Page 1
Whenever I hear a cool phrase somewhere, I like to exclaim "That would make a cool band name". This page is a list of such names.
I can not verify whether these names have been taken yet or not. If your band happens to already use one of these names sorry. If you want to use a name you see here, you'll need to verify it's not already in use.
Entries starting with S are split into multiple pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Name | Origin | Submitted by: | ||
| S EX (Social EXperiment) | My perverted band mates thought of the name. They "need a name with SEX in it" so we abbreviated it . It's properly pronounced as Es-Ex | Marc Stephen | ||
| S*** River Assassins | S*** River is in the Phillipines by Subic. Sailors used to toss pesos into the foul open sewer to watch LBFMs in training dive in for them. | JC462 | ||
| S.E 5 | For Spirit Expression I think thats what music is all about. 5 cuz is the perfect number of people for a rock band. | SaRa | ||
| S.O.N. | This name just kinda clicked when i was playin' guitar! It means Sound Of Nothing. Rock!!! | Onyx | ||
| S.T.E.P. Up | The band and I were trying to find a name and we tryed puting all of the first letters of are name in there. "S.T.E.P." stands for Stephanie, Tyler, Ester, and Peter. Try just taking the first letter of each name and making a word out of it. | Tyler | ||
| Sab the Hab | One of my friends likes the Montreal Canadiens. This is my secret alias--not a secret anymore, eh?--for her. | aldrAea | ||
| Sabotage Testicle | Just say it aloud, I mean cummon. It screams pain, a sense of urgency, and it'd be great for any metal band. It'd make for a great self-titled album/song as well! | cb | ||
| Sabu Points at Pigeons | Sabu is a wrestler and he does this entrance taunt by pointing up at the sky to honour the original shiek (another wrestler), but apparently, one night before he started using this a a tribute, he was coming into the ring to wrestle a match, and he saw a pigeon on the ceiling and so he wanted to shoe the referee so he pointed at it. | hamp | ||
| Saccharomyces Cerevisiae | in bio one day saccharomyces cerevisiae is the fungus or something that they use to make alcohol, would be a great name for a heavy metal band , u no, fungus, alcohol, rock stars..... | niamh | ||
| Sacrafice | I think its cool because my band is a christian band and We want to be sacrafices for God because we love Him soo much. God gave me this dream that we'd be famous and He gave me this name so I really have to thank God. One Day I will be a famous singer and actress for the Lord Jesus Christ. | Carol Ann | ||
| The Sacraments | I've always liked this name. It's the album name of the new Lamb of God cd, so it sounds cool and my band liked it. | corey | ||
| Sacriligeous Monk | It's like a contradiction. | Jack | ||
| Sad Angry Babies | A good name for one of those new indie pop bands, I got this name from taking a picture of my infant nephew while he was wailing, taking his open eyes from another picture and pasting them over his closed ones. Imagine a red-faced crying baby with open eyes - it's a scary sight. | ProAlien | ||
| Sadistication | i always say everything is sadistic, especially syndication that make thing come back and want to make you break stuff. | taylor | ||
| Sadmoon | dahhhh i guess this name is too really coool .... seen a crying moon? Ha no one can .... better start kicking a** | john marvin | ||
| Sadukiii | I got it from the game "Saduko" and a good Green Day album 'Dookie', So I just put them together. | Llama man 40000000000000 | ||
| Safe to Say | I think it's safe to say that would be a good name for whatever kind of band... and there's no story behind this. It thought it up through pure genius.. even SAFE TO STAY would be good... actually those might be band names already. Either way, they are original to me. | Ralph Nader | ||
| Sage Fedora | This is just a kick a** name derived froma conversation with my cat after I had a few Red Bulls. | THE ITALIAN frankie v | ||
| The Sail Frogs | all that road kill on the side of the road has to be good for something besides fine dining! frisbee anyone? | daver | ||
| Sailor Thea and the Apple Chomps | Let's just say, my silly math teacher had a thing for apples. | Joana | ||
| Saint Genevieve and the Sexy Opossums | 1. Saint Genevieve - I was named after her 2. Opossums - my friend was running about claiming that he had accomplished several feats that only doable by opossoms; after which he claimed that he was, indeed, an opossum. 3. I was going for the whole 'name and the adjective blanks' structure for a band, so I just threw in 'sexy' for the hell of it. | genny | ||
| Saki Trip | Phrase coined by my mates after a particularly heavy night in a Japanese restaurant; now used when anyone gets trashed on something they're not used to. I know "saki" is spelled wrong but it looks cooler this way. | Kristof | ||
| Salad Cream | Well one day i was struggling over a band name and thought the best kind would be a really random one. So i flicked through a cook book and BAM. There it was, (WARNING: only for the really adventurous) | Billy | ||
| The Salad Tissues | I Was Eating Tea And My Lettuce Came Off The Plate And Fell On A Napkin Beside It. | Nigel | ||
| The Salavation Air Force | Natural progression (from Salvation Army?) | Charlie Swift | ||
| Salmon Eyes | It would be a nice name for a punk band. I got it when my family was watching "A Christmas Story" when I was a little kid. The old man recieved a can of Simoniz and my sister, thinking it was something else, said, "Why would anyone want a can of salmon eyes?" | Tejayes | ||
| Salt | A cool name for a Christian band, because of the whole "Salt and light of the world" thing. Also good because of the "flavor" element in music as well. I'd just be waiting for the first album entitled SODIUM CHLORIDE or SHAKER. There's the downside: the jokes may just come too easy. | Rachel | ||
| Saltlick | Nothing cooler than a block of salt for bovines>>>> | Matthew J. | ||
| Salty the Pocket Knife | It's Screech's band from Saved by the BELL!!!! | Jim Morrison | ||
| Salvador's Dolly | The idea for this figurine died on the vine, when Mattel tried to market the first doll with 5 breast's and a melting clock for a face. It DID however sell millions overseas in 1983, when it was re-named "Chernobyl Barbie". | princejellyfish | ||
| Salvation Meadows | My friends and I are in a band and was made because are subdivision name is Alexandria Meadows. | Aubrey | ||
| Sam Hotdog and Granny Crackers | These were two characters played by contestants on the old game show "Truth or Consequences". | oner | ||
| Same Bat Time | Rad name for a punk band from the classic 60's Batman tv show. At the end of every episode they always said fine out next episode "Same Bat Time, Same Bat Channel". | Jordan | ||
| samedifference | u know when u say something and its kinda like somthing else, but not exactly the same and people say same difference? which is a total contradiction in itself and it totally bugs the hell out of u. i ended up saying it one day, and i was like dude, that would make a cool band name. | punkergirl | ||
| San Sebastian | San Sebastian is a Spanish city and a great song by Sonata Arctica. | Cynthia Cardui | ||
| Sanctuary | This is cool, because it just is. | The Nodemister | ||
| Sandpaper Pants | What they use to make butt-grooves in wooden chairs. | Alicia Ant | ||
| Sands Thru The Hourglass | From the MacDonald Carey intro to the soap "Days Of Our Lives". The word "through" is misspelled on purpose for coolness. | thon | ||
| Sandy Duncan's Eye | This is a real name I saw in an L.A. paper. It has such disregard for worrying about offending Mrs. Duncan and it's so out there as a reference that I never forgot it. | Clubber | ||
| Sane Asylum | Because there is no such thing as a Sane Asylum. I came up with this when I was looking at other band names on the web, I thought to myself what would sound cooler than the things I was looking at? Sane Asylum. Great name for an emo band or something like blink 182. | Tots | ||
| Sanga Nalanga | It means "no worries" in Fijian. | irene | ||
| Sanity's Dark Side | This is cool, because it sounds ominous. It sounds good for a metal band. I came up with it after thinking long and hard about how many stupid, seemingly insane people there are, but rather than saying 'Insanity's Dark Side', I decided to take something people always say is a good thing, and twist it in a way that'll (hopefully) make people think. | Super | ||
| Santa Lives In Sweden | I was looking at a map of Scandinavia and in Sweden there is a town called Zanta. | james russell | ||

| Sarcasma | My friends and I were running around in our high school in the dark, pretending that we were spoofs of Charlie's Angels. I was Sarcasma, (after my biting sarcasm). I realized today that it would be a cute name, but for a female band, because if it were for a guy band, it would be like another Barenaked Ladies. As in, if they start out as unknowns, everybody could be confused about gender. | Sarcasma Creator | ||
| Sarcastic In Elastic | C'mon! You've gotta like that? Ryhming a band name is COOOOOOL!!!!! I thought of the word sarcastic-I write a lot of stories so I always use sarcastic-and then i thought of a bag-an elastic bag-and bingo!!! Ever make a band, that's a cool name!! | Dylo B | ||
| Sarcastic Prophet | This is a nod to the prophet Michaiah who, in 1 Kings 22:15, sarcastically tells Ahab to "go up" into battle and "prosper", knowing full well Ahab would be killed. | Marcus | ||
| Sarcofogus | I'm a pretty musical guy, and my redneckish best friend likes to make fun of my emo-rock companions and me. So when I was talking about potential band names, he half-jokingly said, "What about Sarcofogus?" In a Metallica sort of voice. I would never use it, but it is a pretty sweet name. | lyrical gangsta | ||
| Sargent Birdwoman | We were watching "Ghost Of U" by My Chemical Romance. At the same time, we were watching birds, so we thought Sargent Birdwoman. | henry hollas | ||
| Sarkari Saand | My friends use to call me this when I was small. | nisarg | ||

| Satan Eats Cheeze Whiz | If you have a .wav player listen to the part in "Nature Trail to Hell" by Weird Al Yankovic when he is speaking jibbersh, and listen to it backwards. Weird al says "Satan eats Cheese Whiz!!!!" Heavy metal/punk. | Junior | ||
| Satan's Deathly Destruction Killing Dominions | Satanic Metal band. It'll exist someday. | DarkJon64 | ||
| Satan's Halo | Why would Satan have a halo? Bewildering, it speaks for itself. | George firth | ||
| Satanic Barcodes | I was on an urban legends website and one of the legends was about the story that barcodes on products spelled "6-6-6", entitled....you guessed it, Satanic Barcodes! Brilliance | FuNkY mOnKeY | ||
| Satonic Toes | Yes I said it,Satonic Toes. Isn't everyone afraid that there toes will eat them as they sleep? I am. | sydney | ||
| Saturated Milk | It's funny because when I was lookin to see how many calories were in milk it said "Fully Saturated Milk" My friends said that sounded like a band name so it's ending up in here! | Gena | ||
| Saturday Morning Jesus | A bizzare combination of caffene, philosophical discussion, and making the Baby Jesus cry. | Mara | ||
| Saturday Night Nimrods | My friends and I were acting really stupid one Saturday night. We were listening to Green Day's cd Nimrod. | Laura | ||
| Saturnalia | Our band is called Saturnalia. We figured it out when Nate (a friend?) was doing a report on ancient winter holidays. Please don't steal it, considering we're already a band. Not very well known, however. | thetogabunny | ||
| Sausage Factory | my friend came up wiv it at lunch at school. sitting in our form room listening to Fear Factory, his favourite food is sausages and he was getting a craving, and when askt wot we were listening to, sausage factory just slipt out!!!!! | fictional | ||
| Sausage Walletz | An aquaintance of mine name Lil' Joey, always siad that even though you coudn't put one in your pocket that they were the best kind of wallets to have. Some could be more expensive than others, and even though sone were generous they could be tight at the same time. He said no matter what, there was no such thing as a bad one, they were all good. Go figure. | badboybear | ||
| the savage nature of man | found this phrase while studying william golding. good name for an alternative band or something. | apt | ||
| Savage Raspberry | "Framboise sauvage" is a French drink - the name means "Wild Raspberry". "Sauvage" sounds a bit like "savage." Hence, "Savage Raspberry." That's it, really. | Red Tim | ||
| Savas Backwards | my friends dad's name is Savas, and for some reason we became really obsessed with the fact that its a palindrome (SP?), so we decided we'd have to have a band called Savas Backwards, because "savas" backwards is savas. | Jess | ||
| Saverg | i just think making new cool sounding words is better for alias' or band names.. and look! it says graves backwards.. o.O | mike | ||
| Saves Nine | At my church, we were playing a matching game; and my little piece of paper said, "Saves nine". When I found the other half (A stitch in time), I thought that it would be a cool band name. | john | ||
| Saxina Garage | Me n my friends came up with this because we were jokin sayin we were gunna make a kazoo band with trash cans and everything! | Chris | ||

| The Sbarriers | Four overweight nerds who play geek-rock music (like They Might Be Giants or Weezer) and love video games, anime, and Italian food. Their name comes from Sbarro, an Italian chain restaurant, and the "barrier" part is because they're so fat they block doorways. | Olvan The Terrible | ||
| Scalene | This band name is awesome because scalene is mostly heard as a scalene triangle (with all 3 sides being different) And having a band you would always have different people in it with different intrests. It would work best with a 3 member band | Emmie | ||
| Scandalous Pants | I was watching Jeopardy! one day & the category was feminism or something like that. Anyway, the last clue was about a woman who was known for her "scandalous pants". I think it would be great for a punk band. | Allyson | ||
| Scantily-Clad Midgets | Midgets are hilarious,as is nudity. Scantily-Clad Midgets would be so great.. just think about it. Almost as funny as that commercial making fun of the 70's show: ChiPs.. renamed Chimps with Mr. Pickles, Captain JoJo | cb | ||
| Scared Dreams | Dreams can make you go crazy! This dream leaves scar...i geuss | India | ||
| Scared Of Coulered Knights | well it all began one day off the west coast of mongolia bay ,I WAS SURFING AND RIMJAWING WHILE I STUMBLED UPON A CRAB eating a barnacle. i looked carefulley and observed the crab's minge, then i took my pet nose for a walk to my grandmothers house which was covered in honey from the honeybee. while i was there i stumbled upon a hippo disembowling my gran's rectum he gave me the idea of a nose being walked...how stupid is that. So i got out my foldable tent megaphone and called my solicitor for no reason . then i saw an unusual thing it was a donkey from outer space wearing a kilt this immediatly gave me the thought of S.o.C.k, just after i was pressured into stealing a dragon from the post man next door he then entered me into the book of kindness for not commiting the crime. Later i went to see BEnjo and Dartin to speak to the wizard of oz he told me to go to the witches palace to suck the right testicle of a racoon. Then i went to get myself a life as a tramp in a sauna. That is all. Thank you for your time. | Percy | ||
| Scarface Betty | My car's name is Betty, and I noticed a scratch on it...a huge scratch on the side. So I named her Scarface Betty and my band liked it. | Caleb | ||
| Scarless | Scarless, as in unscathed and untouched. | Cody | ||
| The Scarlet Letters | It would be a girl band named after the awesome book by Nathaniel Hawthorne, "The Scarlet Letter." | Miki Koishikawa | ||
| Scarlet Senses | Well, I simply lóved the word "scarlet". It has so much feeling and mystic in it, I really wanted it in our band name. With the added "Senses" it sounded really sweet and feminine. The name was just great, the band itself didn't work out that fine. | Grapjas | ||
| Scarlet Tear | You could also tweak it some like maybe Scarlet Tears (note the "s" lol) or...Velvet Tears?...dunno...i just thought the concept of crying tears of blood was kinda cool and since blood is red and scarlet means red i put two and two together =P...also you could make some damn cool album coverart with a name like that :D | Ross | ||
| Scarleta | See notes for 'This Scarlet Prison'. A derivative. | Tangerine Innuendo | ||
| Scarlette Empire | My friends and I wanted to start a band. I was telling them that I had a dream that everything was red. Then we came up with Red City, then Scarlette City then Scarlette Empire. | Els | ||
| Scarlette Priest | I'm showing my age here, but there's a girl at my daughter's preschool called Scarlette Priest - all girl heavy metal band or what? | Howard Kimber | ||
| Scarred and Scared | Because it fits right in there with this genre. And my exboyfriend scarred me and he gets scarier every day, in a screwed up sense... | taste this | ||
| Scarred Babydolls | I picture this band as a group of goth chicks playing music like Jack Off Jill or Rasputina. | Mistress Onixx | ||
| Scars Heal In Time | I just thought of it one day. It sounds pretty cool. Plus its the initials of a cuss word. | Weldon | ||
| Scars Of Lies | I just thoguth of it and sometimes lies can scar people. Plus it sounded really cool like my name... Pogo Shoe | Pogo Shoe | ||
| Schlitterbon | it's german for slippery road... just sounds cool | john | ||
| Schlomo & The Electric Genitals | This was my first band's name. We were headed up by a "person of Jewish faith - Schlomo" and the rest of us (a co-ed group) were just blasting away through our instruments via all of the electricity we were using up. | FrozenFish | ||
| Schnell | It's German for fast. Good for a thrash metal band I guess. | Coolio | ||
| School Yard Reception | Where I live is in a basin not a valley a basin moutains all around. You cant hear any other radio station outside of it even this close to Oklahoma. Well my mp3 player gets radio too. I bring it to school to listen to at break. You can't get hear anything except the sports network. I call it the school yard reception factor and thought it would be a wicked awesome name for a band of any genre. Just a suggestion. | Amy Valentine | ||
| Schporkers United/Anonymous | My friend is obsessed with 'sporks', but one day he got a (what he called shork {a cross between a fork and a shovel}) from the canteen. We were board so we made up a company for distributing shorks and sporks. When you combine spork and shork, it makes shpork. But it looks better when spelt Schpork. | Pathogens101 | ||
| Schroedinger's Mice | Schroedinger's Cat is a famous example of the Uncertainty Principle, and I thought this name sounded cool. It's geeky, I know. | Sylvia Viridian | ||
| Sciatica | My band name. We were talkind 'bout it in science class, and I thought it sounded cool. So we named it that. It's pronounced 'sy-at-ik-ah'. | Brian | ||
| Scientific Porn | Ok, freshman year, waiting for dance class. We were in the library and the librarian was watching something on her laptop. So I'm like, "What if she's watching? Porn?" My friend Robyn said, "She's a science teacher, Ashley". I'm answered back, "Ok, so she's watching scientific porn." We laughed and we thought it would be a cool band name. | ashley | ||
