Names -> Cool Band Names -> S, Page 13

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.

Super Superiors				la baba
Super Ted Is Dead		Well he must be, have you seen him recently? I think its a "super" name for a band in fact I wonder what kind of music Super Ted and Spotty man would have come up with. Is this an American site? If so, you might not have had Super Ted when you were kids.		Mr. Pete

Superman's Been Shot		It was a line in a Justice League movie.		G
Supermarket Sweeties		I was a part time cashier at the local supermarket, and one of the customers who was a regular always called me sweetie!		Yasmine
Supernova Jackson's Dream People		At the University of Illinois, I spent three years in a sketch comedy group named Potted Meat. In one of our writing sessions, the name 'Supernova Jackson' came up. after a year and six shows, it became the sketch 'The First Installment of Supernova Jackson's Dream People". Mr. Jackson was a flamboyant louge singer who narrated the sketch by song. No really, it was funny. Potted Meat would probably be a good name too, come to think of it. Also Birdcheese.		Geoff R
Supershine		It represents nothing I guess, I was looking out the window and it was hot as hell hand the sun was blairing righ in my face and my buddy says "dude, its like super hot outside" ..... so I kinda thought with the shiny and super mixed togeter it would be cool.... supershine.		cockeye

The Support Band		I was at a show and the first band came on and we yelled out 'WHATS YOUR BAND CALLED?' and he's like "I dunno! We're just the support band!" Then I thought, wow, wouldn't it be cool if that was what they were called... it turned out to be some other wierd name. Me and my friends have a band and didn't have a name so now we are "The Support Band". It would be especially cool if we ever headline a show... Please don't take our name.		Lani
Supporting Players		Perhaps a band of back-up singers. They wouldn't need very many lyrics, just some doo-wops and la-las		William Actor
Sure Fire		This name is good for a band that always has a good song and is crazy at shows.		Ryan C.
The Surefire Way		I was in a guy situation, and I was just thinking to myself, "a surefire way into a girl's heart is to cheer her up when another guy makes her sad." Then I went hey... The Surefire Way could be an amazing band name!! Like you always get it right, plus surefire is a pretty cool rock-ish word.		Alex
Surf Nuns on Acid		In the mid-1980's I wrote up an article about crazy band names, and had to invent one myself. This sounded weird enough.		Timothy Campbell www.tc123.com

Surrealistic Plummers		It's the subject of an AP physics problem. Sounded like a psychedelic rock band to me.		JR

Surroundsound		I don't really know. I was sitting here thinking of sweet names and it clicked! [Ed's note: Surroundsound is what comes with a lot of home theater stereo systems.]		Matt James
Survivor's Guilt		I was reading the lyrics to Nightwish's Kinslayer and that name just came up. Thought it sounded cool for some kind of metal band.		LookieHere
Susan Di Lucci and the Miracle of Life		It's from an urban legend. Supposedly a lesbian woman named Susan De Luci (in the story on Snopes.com, the name is spelled differently each time it appears) heard about, erm, fun things a woman can do with a lobster and decided to give it a try. End result, she ended up giving birth to thousands of brine shrimp, compliments of the lobster who crapped the brine shrimp eggs (which it had eaten prior to its capture) in the nether regions of her personal universe. Afterwards, she fainted in horror, hit her head on the bathtub, and died. Needless to say, there is absolutely no truth to the story, but when I read it, well, it was one of those moments when a person just has to yell "BAND NAME!!!" even though there's nobody around to hear...		The Asbestos Mango
Sushi Alien Panic		Once, when I ate at a Japanese resturant, I thought about a person who ate raw fish and got tapeworm. Then I thought of the part in the "Alien" movie where the aliens reproduce inside of people.		duke the magic bum

Sven Jolly		This is what you get by mispronouncing Svengali - a decent Scandinavian band name.		RevengeFromMars YouTube
Swallow Mud		Like the mud those little swallows use to make their nest that they can stick on walls and stuff. All their tunes could be so catchy, they would be buzzing in your head and leave you walking around in public humming like some kind of simpleton. Then you would enter politics where you would be embraced with open arms. Well look what happened to Bill & Hillary.		badboybear
Swamp Gas Agenda		I was going through a thesaurus and just put a few words together, it just sounds cool to me.		Brandon J.
The Swamp Tenors		I received "swamp tenors" as an unsolicited spam -- I collect spam-generated band names, and this is my favorite.		princessinger
Swamp Thrashers		I was explaining swamps to a drunk friend, then got on the subject of a bird that thrives in them, called something similair to "thrasher." Then it hit me-the Swamp Thrashers! The dirtiest and slimiest punk band EVER.		Milk

Sweating Fetus		This name came from a game of Exquisite Corpse, an impromptu game where poems are created by stringing random words together. The name of the game comes from the game itself.		Peter, Simon, and Toy
The Swedish Chickens		this is cool because Swedish is just generally a funny word and when you think of chickens, the last thing that comes to mind is chickens.		Ryan Powers
Swedish Fish		It's named after the candy, which, by the way, is VERY good. My friends and i were sitting around talking about our favorite candy, and bands, when someone was like "i LOVE SWEDISH FISH!" I was like, OMG! That would be a great name for a band!! I know, kinda cheesy, but o well.		Nikki
Swedish For Peace		The Swedish word for peace is fred.		GlamRockNinjaLord

the sweedish all stars		Me and my friends took a trip to a bunch of countries on some summer trip. One of the countries was Sweeden. There were these two hot girls me and my friends were trying to imprese, but they said they only dated Sweedish all stars		ELF

Sweet Acid		I was trying to come up with some cool band names. I was up all night trying to get a good name so our band will get a good start. So I went to go get a midnight snack and The Discovery Channel was on. I saw a part of a show that mentioned acid and, "acid" stuck in my head. Then I saw the word "Sweet" on a billboard in the morning and, "sweet" stuck in my head. So I put the two words together and got Acid Sweet, but that didn't sound great at all, so I reversed them and I came up with OUR band name, "SWEET ACID".		Andrew V.
Sweet And Innocent		idk maybe for a girl band.....:P		g
Sweet Chop Skinna and the Jazz Pals		See, my band was looking for a new name, and the trumpet players last name is Skinner. We thought it would be cool to add "jazz pals" at the end, since we're a jazz band and really tight as friends. But everybody in the band thought it was gay. So I hope it can suit some jazz band out there. "Sweet Chop" was just randomly thought up and also when I thought up pals,I was thinking of the Cabbage patch kids for some reason. I like The Cabbage Patch Pals, what another cool name huh.		Chavez

Sweet Piles O' Mine		I was thinkin for a band name with my brother when we were trying to think of track names to change. Then I thought of "Sweet Child o' Mine" and how awesome it is. Then thought I would make it a funny band name by naming it after an anal infection.		Greg Hulme
Sweet Pillow Killers		It's more like an inside joke, really... My best friend came to my place and brought some "sweet pillows" with her, plus she gave me a pocket knife. And at one moment I stabbed it into one of the "pillows". And then it just hit me! It was hilarious at that moment...		DS
Sweet Sweet Sausage		I was having some sausage for breakfast one day, and I thought to myself, "Hey, this sausage is really sweet."		seewnad
Sweet Talking Romeo		it's a line from Tougher Than The Rest by Bruce Springsteen. I thought it would be a good name for a band who acts like they can get everyone in bed with them		dayna
