Names -> Cool Band Names -> S, Page 5
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.

| The Short Bus Riders | I came up with this name when I saw the movie 'Dumb and Dumberer'. | stud | ||
| Short Bus Riders | Its not original. It was the name of a band it my really small town. It was a group of high schoolers fooling around. The name just stuck in my head. | Me | ||

| Shredded Lemming | Sorta just rolls off the tongue.

| 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 | ||
| Shurikenians | I love shurikens or ninja stars, so I thought the name would be cool if I add some more letters. | Pikachu | ||
| 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 Mitch Swallow! | It could be a taunt. It could be a statement. It could referring to the swallows that come to San Juan Capistrano. The band members could YELL it at the crowd to incite them. The name is perfect! | Joel Melton | ||
| 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 Men Of Asia | From the Bruce Lee movie "The Chinese Connection" | patiperro | ||
| siCK*trust | Um, this one came from me and my friend. A person we don't like said that our trust was so firm it was sickening. My best friend's name starts with C, and the person we don't like - his name starts with K, so... the star represents me. It's up for grabs, but please do give me money if you get big with this name ^^ | therealdeepblue | ||
| Sick, Sick, Sick | Because the Queens of the Stone Age song of the same name is stuck in my head. | helloholmes | ||
| Sickly Twizted | It is cool because of the way I found the name. I was watching "Saw 2" and seen the logo for Twisted Pictures. I thought of something to go with it; and then it popped up. | Bill Rowe | ||
| Siddartha | THERE IS THIS BOOK CALLED SIDDARTHA AND IT IS A F***ING COOL BOOK. AFTER READING IT U WILL S*** YOURSELF AND SAY OMFG SIDDARTHA WOULD BE A H*** TIGHT DEATH METAL BAND NAME. | CASHMONEYDRUICE@AOL.COM | ||
| Side Flip Boob Job | In the video game Ratchet & Clank, you can do sideways flips in front of a woman whose boobs inflate with each flip. | JeReMy | ||
| Side-A | well you can say it as in "cider" or it can be in terms of how tapes have like 'side A and sideB'.....just a weird thought of mine... | jaY | ||
| The Sideburns | I used to have amazing sideburns. My friends told me to name my band The Sideburns. | Jesus | ||
| Sideways Eight | In math, the sideways eight is the sign for infinity. | meggo | ||
| The Sigh | i found it cool...:) | Cj Dude | ||
| Sigh Whickerin' | Here's still another possible band name I thought up from my father's explanation way back when as to something my cousin was apparently trying to say. Back in the days when televisions had vertical and horizontal holds, the picture could go distorted sideways obliquely form the horizontal hold being not well adjusted. When that condition happened I would hear my younger cousin, before he could talk plain, say that the TV was "sky goblin" or perhaps "sky gobblin'". I wondered where such an expression came from. My father told me back then that my cousin was probably trying to say "sigoglin" or "sigodlin", the first syllable sounding like "sigh" in either case, two among of several variants on a colloquial expression for anything skewed from a normally expected right angle or rectangular shape. He mentioned other colloquialisms for the same meaning, including "antigoglin", "antigodlin", and "siwhickerin", the first syllable again sounding like "sigh" in the last example. I think the best band name idea from the last example comes from spelling it "Sigh Whickerin' " | D. Melody Dole, MD | ||
| Sign Of The Double Cross | That can be a great name for a mostly female band (4 or 5 musicians) that has a male lead singer. In real life, though, beware of that sign. A 'double cross' is a betrayal. Not cool. | Joey F. | ||
| 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 | ||
| Sihuana Paranica | it sounds like the scientific name of an halucinogen, but it really means "come here" in nahuatl, a mexican dialect. doesn't it sound great?!? | G. vdm C | ||
| Silence | Think it's realy cool cuz you wouldn't expect a punk rock band to stay silent, would you???? | Bubbles | ||
| Silence Henders In Thought | If you spell the initials of the title, it makes you giggle slightly. | nevergonnaknow | ||
| Silence Is Forbidden | I was kidding round with my friend on band names and when I came with this one, it kinda stuck out. It's dark and rock-like but it also could mean you are loud. | Jake | ||
| A Silent Affair | me and some friends were talking about band names in the car and passed a store called A Formal Affair. We talked about it and changed Formal to Silent. | Zach | ||
| Silent But Deadly | No, I'm not talking about the black mambo snake, it is a grade-school category for farts. | patiperro | ||
| Silent But Deadly | We all know what that means. When people fart, and you can't hear it, or it can mean a stealth ninja does a sleeper on you, which is silent but deadly. | Haizie | ||
| The Silent Dawn | It just sounds cool...like in the very first of the morning when only the birds are out. You can just imagine it. | Jacobb Casselman | ||
| 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 E | From looking at my mom's maiden name. It has a silent e in it(like most German surnames that have "ie" in it, you don't pronounce the E) | Deedee | ||
| 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 Hotel Massacre | It sounds like a screamo band, but I just randomly thought it up one day and I like it. | Lerod | ||
| The Silent Letters | From looking at silent letters in words | Deedee | ||
| 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 Sea and the Canal experience | Think about it | Jim Lee | ||
| Silent Spring | I got it from a quote from Red Alert 2. | Phil Yacoe | ||

| SilentAudio | Everyone loves a nice oxymoron. | Kline | ||
| Silk Duds | Comes from wordplay on the name "Milk Duds" | Richard Wetfuss | ||
| Silly String Ensemble | I thought of this jokingly, as if music could be made with "silly string". | Tess O. Gosset | ||
| Silver Blade | Dont use this its just for ideas with the words of silver or blade my brother thought of it (bass player) and friend (guitarist) agreed this already my band | SiLveRBlade | ||
| Silver Bullet | Cause it kills vampires. And everyone knows theres too much vampire shit around. (Editor:Would Bob Seger be the lead singer?) | Yero | ||
| 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 | ||
| Simmer To Boil | A sort of Literally Impossible Band Name, since when you simmer, you heat the water just enough that it doesn't boil. | Kelly Tires | ||
| 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 Ache | when pronouncing it sounds like cynic. we named the band that way cuz our teacher always called us cynics in detention and it has the sin also, we are all for sins that's why it fits. | sam | ||
| Sin Error | the calculator thing, it says syn error on mine if u do something impossible and if u kinda fix it a little its like sin error and yeah. to me that sounds cool | Morgz | ||
| Sin Farch In Zebulum 66 Twine | Sin Farch is the name of a teenager. Zebulum 66 is the name of the planet he lives on. Twine is an acronym meaning to win instantly nothing existing. Messed up, i know. | squirrelguy931 | ||
| 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 | ||
| The Sinatra Hats | What I call the type of hat that Frank Sinatra and Elvis Costello wore. | G | ||

| 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 | ||
| sinfull souls | Dont know, I just like the world soul. and you could say I have a very sinfull soul with some of the evil things I do, if I had a band, this would most def.. be the name but will never have a band so enjoy | lost soul | ||
| Sing Thee No L | It's reay haarious. I heard this on the Bob & Tom Show where the character Hadji reads an sponsorship promo in the (l)anguage of No L (noel, get it?) I ove it! | funny |
