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.

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

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 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

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

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
