Names -> Cool Band Names -> S, Page 4
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 11

| Shredded Lemming | Sorta just rolls off the tongue. A friend of mine was thinking of starting a Motorhead cover band and wanted to call them Shredded Lemmy, after lead singer and bassist Lemmy Kilmester. I misheard and thought he was talking about the cute little mindless characters in my favourite computer game. | A.J. | ||
| Shriveled Scrotum | Well my friend says alot of random comments all the time, he sticks with a few for a month then seems to create more. Shriveled Scrotum seems to be one that stayed for a while. We usualy just say yeah thats our band name as a joke. | Something | ||
| Shroud Of Charlemagne | I dunno, me and my best friend nabbed this from an episode of "Psych" one night; we just thought it sounded badass. Sweet name for a Death Metal band... | Corey... | ||
| Shuma-Gorath | Awesome yet obscure Marvel Comics villain who was, for some inexplicable reason, picked to be one of the eight playable characters in the Marvel Super Heroes videogame. However, he is a one-eyed tentacle laden demon with an awesome name fitting for a one-eyed tentacle laden band. | McAlister | ||
| Shut Up | because when your band performs, you want everyone to shut up and listen unless they have something important to say. | brittany | ||
| Shut Up, Stupid! | I used to play sports in my backyard and my dad used to scream out of the sliding glass door "Shut Up, Stupid". It carried over into my drum playing days in marching band rehearsing in my backyard. | TonyDaProducuh | ||

| Sick, Sick, Sick | Because the Queens of the Stone Age song of the same name is stuck in my head. | helloholmes | ||

| Sideways Eight | In math, the sideways eight is the sign for infinity. | meggo | ||
| Sign Of The Zodiac | Each band member could have a stage name of their zodiac sign. | Terard Taylor | ||
| Signature Over Printed Name | My submission of this band name is also about another reply slip. I can't remember when and where, but the only thing I can remember is that I wrote my signature without Printed Name under it. So I was scolded by someone and he/she laughed at me. But, its something cool, the reply slip where my signature is in, has no NAME on the "Signature Over Printed Name". It's only "Signature Over Printed". | I love Anna Lissa.By Dewitt | ||
| Signs, Signals, and Markings | I was in Drivers' Ed., and our teacher named off a chapter that was called "Signs, Signals, and Markings". So I thought it would be a cool band name. | Josh Gore | ||

| Silence Henders In Thought | If you spell the initials of the title, it makes you giggle slightly. | nevergonnaknow | ||

| Silent But Deadly | No, I'm not talking about the black mambo snake, it is a grade-school category for farts. | patiperro | ||

| Silent Death | i was watching a war movie and a guy was killed in perfect silence. i thought it sounded like a cool band name. me and my friends might use it though. | jorden watkins | ||
| Silent Echo | this is just cool...cus i lerned this knew word in 5th grade, echo and it meant a little sound, and silent means no sound...haha... | Matt Lu | ||
| Silent Scream | It's an oxymoron. I just think it sounds cool. [Ed. note: It was the name of an awful 1980 horror film, too.] | Special K | ||
| Silent Spring | I got it from a quote from Red Alert 2. | Phil Yacoe | ||
| SilentAudio | Everyone loves a nice oxymoron. | Kline | ||
| SiLveR BulLeT production | Well, first it has to feel good when you here it, just like the band ( DEEP DISH ), everybody would love to eat in a deep dish, it so natural. well, what the word (SiLveR BulLeT) carries is the beautiful color, which is silver and the helpfull meaning which can save your life one day if you are locked with a vampire in the same room. And the name really goes with the type of the music we play which is electronic. | Psychic sasi | ||
| Silver Cycle | I came up with it from my two most inspiring bands: Nickelback and Staind. (The Nickelback album "Silver Side Up" and the Staind album "Break the Cycle". I wanted it to be the name of my band, but the other guys didn't like it that much. | john | ||
| Silver Darkness | A friend and I stayed up all night once; and the moonlight was illuminating the yard. My friend said, "Lets make a band called Silver Darkness." | Andrew Shelton | ||
| Silver Electric | 2 adjectives. no noun. silver is cool. So is electricity. Combine them, and it's really cool! | Katie | ||
| Silver Image | me and my girls were just brainstorming and i came up with silver, cuz i don't wear anything else but that and my girl tenisha said image and then SILVER M A G E WAS BORN!!!!!! | nicole | ||
| Silver Naked Ladies | Paul Westerberg song, name of the club in Things To Do In Denver.... (and those things on turcker's mudflaps). | Hoser | ||
| Silver Rhythm | I suggested this name when we were trying to create a band name. They just rejected it. But I think it's better than the name they chosed, "Overpass." | RJ | ||
| Silver Rupees | Silver Rupees are worth a lot in the Zelda franchise. They are the currency of the kingdom. Plus, they're shiny and silver and really neat! | Orange blocks and Purple socks | ||
| Silver Sleeve | This was actually a nickname one of our band members dad was called in high school. He used to have really bad allergies, and would wipe his runny nose on the sleeve of his shirt. He did this constantly. Well you know the shiney, silver like trail that is left behind after a good swipe. So they called him "the silver sleever." We just knocked off the "er" part and figured...hey..."Silver Sleeve." | Meandpals | ||
| The Silver Techno Dragons | I just thought that the name would be cool since it sounds like they're half-dragon/half-robot and it was all i could come up with. | Jack | ||
| Silver Where1874 | Me and my sister came up with this while doing the dishes, and the number just sounded cool | Cycadelic | ||
| Silversrceen | I was helping my mother paint her bathroom. I asked what the color of the paint was; and she told me it was called Silverscreen. The first thing from my mind after she said it was, "Wow, if I ever had a band that's what I'd name it!" I just thought it sounded really wicked. Of course I myself have no musical ability what so ever but I still thought about it. It probably wouldn't work for a hard core/metal band but it might work for an indie/ rock band or something of that nature. | Alex | ||
| Similar To Donut | An all-female (or at least female-fronted) rock group from Japan. They'd write original songs and cover 80's classics like the Waitresses' "I Know What Boys Like." | Olvan The Terrible | ||
| The Simmies | I think it is cool because it is an attracting name!!!! Please put it on the web. [Ed.'s note: I'll pass it through, Chelsea. But only if the creators of "The Sims" video game don't sue us. :D ] | Chelsea Vinyard | ||
| Simon Bar Sinister | This would be a great name for a metal band. It also was Underdog's arch enemy. | Mark C. | ||
| Simple Chivalry | Its not as easy as it sounds to be a gentleman | Nich | ||
| Simple Day | My friend and I though of this name because we got into an argument about whether Green Day was better or Simple Plan. I was obsessed with Green Day and I wanted to name my band after that; but she wanted our band named after Simple Plan ,since she was obsessed with Simple Plan so we made up Simple Day. Now everybody's happy. | Rosa Yo! | ||
| Simple Desire | We aim to please all our groupies and rock hard fans. In fact, it is not our aim more of a desire. And because we are so awesome at playing, it is simple to do so. Therefore, Simple Desire. | Josh and Beff | ||
| The Simpletons | Right now we only have an acoustic, a lead, and a tambourine player...its really for very simple bands hence the name | GeorgieBaby333 | ||
| Simulacra | I had to do a research paper on Jean Baudrillard for a class, and one of his theories has to do with a sort of simulation called simulacra. I loved the idea and name! | alchemist | ||

| Sin Ropa | This came from a guy I used to work with. This is cool because it means "without clothes" in Spanish. So basically your band is named "Nude" but maybe a lot of people wouldn't know it. Another reason it is cool is that it flows well off the tongue (mellifluous for those really smart people out there). I can't come up with more reasons why it is cool at this point. I think it deserves to be on the site. | steven kent | ||
| Sin Theta | y is it cool? i dont know just is u suppose! means nothing apart form the genuine meaning of the words in mathmatical terminology! jsut seems to work! Sin pronounced Sign | Soul | ||

| Sincerely The Undersigned | Was reading an internet petition and thought it would make a cool band name. | Death_Zero | ||
| SINdrone | This is a good name for a few reasons,such as it sounds like Syndrome, another good band name, and it references both satan and sound. | willem Gmazel | ||
| Sinecure | its a word in the dictionary the means- a well paid job the requires little work | Batson | ||
| Sinfonia | 'I was bored in music class' = name! Pretty straight forward. However, it is a type of symphonic composition. Preferably for a girl band. | bob | ||
| Sinful Service | Cheerful service is preached in the scouts, but I figured that that was too goody-goody. Plus this sounds dirty. sounds cool. | Da Boyscout | ||

| Sinnocence | I was thinking of funny names for strippers, and this would make a cool band name, too. This band would play house, hip hop, r&b, Prince style music. | Yoidy | ||
| Sins Of Allegiance | i was just sitting infront of my computer and i saw the word allegiance and not too long after that i saw the word religion....and it just came together in my head. | Mike Cameron | ||

| Six And Stones | It sounds arty and has absolutly no meaning whatsoever. | MArbonator | ||
