Names -> Cool Band Names -> S, Page 6
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

| Smothered Infant | Well after listening to Dying Fetus, Cannibal Corpse, and various other death metal bands I decided that I had to come up with an outrageously disturbing name for my band in order to become somewhat popular. Smothered Infants is the kind of name that sticks with you... So that is what we might call our selves | Bill | ||
| Snail Sans Shell | It was a crossword puzzle clue. The answer was "slug"! | Diane Stolfi | ||
| Snails On Steroids | Me and my mates were sitting down thinking of band names and one of my mates thought of steroids, and I saw a snail...so...Snails + Steroids = Snails on Steroids. | Jon Cartwright, Chris Raynes. | ||
| Snake and Cross | My friends are all huge Fullmetal Alchemist fans, but we could never remember the name for the Flamel Snake symbol. We would call it the "Snake and Cross". After a while, I though "There's some weird hard rock band names, why not ours be called Snake and Cross?" It stuck. | Trevor | ||

| Snips | Me and my friend were talking about what girls are made of (sugar, spice, and everything nice) and I said, "What are boys made of?" And she said, "Snips, snails, and puppy dog tails." Then I asked, "What are snips?" She started making a motion that a guy makes when he's lonely and has a Playboy. We started laughing and I thought that Snips would also be a cool band name. | dead | ||
| Snoogans | Well, this was an idea for a name. We sit in math class and think of made up words and we came up with "Snoogans". By the way, it didn't fly. | Collin | ||
| Snooper | I was once intrigued by a specific word that I had created over a conversation with my dearest friend, Walter Michaels Henry 2nd. He had informed me that he had exposed my drawer to his eyes. In conclusion, I held him accountable as a "Snooper". Therefore I conjecture that "Snoopers" would be an apporopriate "BAND NAME". I believe it will do fantasticly well with populartiy, and will gain power to minipulate many people to listen to "the band" Thank you for reading this and have a wonderfull band! ~ Delton Abreham McFee, The 3rd ~ | Delton Abreham McFee, The 3rd | ||
| Snorkeling Goldfish | It came to me in a dream. It was the title of a Calvin and Hobbes book in that dream. | StGo | ||
| Snot Rockets | i got this idea from my spanish teacher. he's from wisconsin and he used to talk about wat he used 2 eat wen he was lil. hotpockets...and he sed...snot rockets *lick | Clover | ||
| Snow In July | I think this is a cool name because it leaves you there thinking "Snow in July?". I came up with this when I was at camp. I told this one girl that I had once shoved an eraser up my nose ( I really did!). She didn't believe me, so she said "I"ll believe that when it snows in July!" | Stephanie | ||
| Snow White's Red Blood | even though i love disney (and i'm not afraid to admit it) this name sounds pretty cool to me | SHOCK! | ||

| The So-Called | I write songs and once I wrote a line that went "the so-called night"... I just really think either that or just The So-Called sounds neat, like you change and don't to have a name. | Alex | ||

| Soccer Mom Cult | Cause all those Moms in their Mini Vans are so robotic they seem like a cult | Skip | ||

| The Social Rejects | Me and my band member are the unpopular ones in school and we just came up with it | Justin | ||
| Social Suicide | All my friends and I in our "band" wear like pinks, and blacks, and just messed up stuff. So its kind of like mixing a prep, a goth, and jock, and everything else. It's kind of like a social suicide...hence the name. | kyla | ||
| Social with the anti-social | I was listening in on a group of ten or so people talk about how they are so anti-social. Well they are sitting in a big group talking with a bunch of friends, doesn't seem very anti social to me. So this name goes out to you anti-socials | Killer panda | ||
| Socially Acceptable | this is the name of my band. it is cool because we are playing tons of clubs and it is cool to have people call and ask us to ply with them or at a club. | geoff | ||

| Socken | It's the name of my band @ skool. It means 'sock' in German. | Paul M | ||
| Socks Vital | Because, no matter how hard you try to convince yourselves otherwise, they are, aren't they? An acquaintance, Alison Berry, came up with this one in about 1993 and I've always remembered it, even though we're no longer in touch. | Jimbob | ||
| The Sofa Killers | My friend and I were out shopping one day. We sat down on a bench to have a drink, and some random man came behind us and shouted out "Sofa killers!" It was so funny and embarrasing. I think this would be a great name for a rock band. | amy lou | ||
| Sofa King Retarded | Lol... me and my drummer thought it was funny....P*ss people off by saying it fast | Bob | ||
| Sofa Kings | My friend and I used this for a while because we were so good at being lazy. | quik | ||

| Soggy Cupcakes | Spin off of "Limp Bizkit." | robster lobster | ||

| Soggy When Wet | My friend Marc and I are always doing random stuff. At first it was "I like fried chicken". Then it led into "Yea, but friend chicken gets soggy when you put it in water"(we were at a pool party), hence the name-- Soggy When Wet, look for us | Win | ||

| Soiled Linen | me and a couple friends were visiting another friend in the hospital, seen this on a laundry chute thing, and i said "hey, that sounds like a sweet band name" | Randy | ||
| Solar Rabbit | We were given a worksheet in my eighth grade science class one time, and one of the questions had a bunch of diagrams with arrows and animals, and said, "Which diagram shows the correct path of the transfer of energy?" or something like that. One of the diagrams had an arrow going from the sun to a rabbit, and I thought, "Hey, neat, solar rabbit!" Also can be considered a tribute to the song "Atomic Dog" by some dude whose name I can't remember. | Cessi | ||
| Soldier Jock | My drummer is an electronics repair Tech Sargent in the Airforce. While he was away in Baghdad the keyboard player would keep refereng to the drummer as Soldier Jock and the name just took off. | 7String | ||
| Solid Waste | It was a name for a heavy metal band suggested to me by a hippie. | dksnyc | ||

| Soma | It's the name for the drug that everyone takes in the novel "Brave New World" written by Aldous Huxley. It's a mix of cocaine, heroin, etc. Basically, it's a really good pill. | Ahmead Bakir | ||
| Some Dead Guys | This is actually our band name at the time. We thought it would be cool to hear the radio dj say something like, "here's song title by Some Dead Guys." Plus it yields for some cool album names like "Killed to Death" "Pushing Up Daisies" and, this is totally unrelated, "Gyration Station." | Fredo | ||
| Some Young Guy | Its cool because it sounds Korean but its not. I thought of it after hearing a funny joke. | Will Schildknecht | ||
| Somebody Popular | Well.....there's this one pretty sweet song called Vindicated and I didn't really know who sang it. So.....i kinda asked mi dad who sang it annd he said "somebody popular" and i really thought that was the person who sang it. Turns out, Dashboared Confessional sings it and when the song came on the radio, i was like "I know who sings this, they're called Somebody Popular!" My friend looked at me and was like..."No it's Dashboared Confessional, u retard!" and so, i still thought that it was a pretty sweet name and that's kinda y i just typed all of this... | Taylor | ||
| Something Better | My friend's band has no good name. Infact, a crappy name. So I said they should be something better. Which they're not. | The Dork Matt | ||
| Something For The Weekend | coz that's why the band started, as something to do for the weekend. also for the sexual undercurrent. the idea was to give away free condoms at our concerts and get sponsored for it ...but as was realistically expected, this never came to be. | Dominik Brotherton | ||
| Something Obscene | That's what i would name my band... if i had a band and any musical talent, or not! | Kerri | ||
| Something Offbeat | It used to be our band name. Sometimes, when we were practicing, one of us would go off beat. When one person would match someone else, we'd all start to fall offbeat, good for an alternative or punk band | XstillzX | ||
| Something Original | i was thinking of a band name and i though "i need something original" then i realised that it sounded cool | james | ||
| Something Strange | Well, every time someone asks me what the name of my band is, I've always been in a band with a really lame name. So, I usually just say "It's something strange". And they're like "C'mon! Tell me!"... So, I decided to name the next band I'm in "Something Strange" so when they ask me, it'll go down like this: Me: I'm in a band. Person: What's your band named? Me: Something Strange Person: Yeah, but what's the name. Me: SOMETHING STRANGE! Person: Just tell me the frickin' name! Me: It's Something Strange!!!!! Person: Fine, don't tell me.... I don't even care anyway. | Thrasher | ||
| Something Stupid | Like many of the names on this list, this is something stupid, but it would appear as though the band didnt bother to come up with "something stupid" and used it as their name | Yes I Am | ||
| Something To Do With A Duck | Me and some mates were going to a local gig, and one of them wastrying to remember the groups that were playing, one of which was called strange duck, she couldnt remember the name so simply came out with: something to do with a duck and we all loved it... | Faelfain | ||
| Sometimes Never | Have you ever had to do a stupid thing around the house and your mom would always ask you if you finished or not? You would reply I'll do it sometime today but you really meant never so that's where sometime never comes in and it sounds kinda awesome! | Music4life | ||
| Somus Taf | Becaus backwards it spells 'Fat Sumos', and everything is to do with Japanese wrestling these days. | ed Davis | ||
| Sonagi | means rain in korean. could work for a rock band | soomin | ||
| Songmaker's (silent) cry | In one of my favourite and saddest Nightwish songs "Dead Boys Poem" there is a line in which Songmaker's cry can be found. I think it would be a good name for bands with similar but more gentle music as Nightwish. | Cynthia Cardui | ||
| Sonic Death Monkeys | i heard jack black say it in john cusack movie...dont remember the title | Realm_of_satan | ||
| Sonic Fire | My friend and I were trying to come up with a band name. I have an old set of comic books: "Sonic the Hedgehog" and "Fantastic 4" (the one with the Human Torch on the side) So I put the 2 together. Kinda lame, but hey, you never know what people are looking for. | Fortified4ever | ||
| Sonic Horizons | Is that not just cool? That's our band's current name. I was reading a physics book and there was a thing called a sonic horizon, kind of like a black hole's 'event horizon', but anyways, I thought it sounded really cool. We take 'Sonic', being sound, and Horizons, being like a limit or the end, and slap um together and get, "The limits and boundaries of sound which we must overcome" | The Shocker | ||
| Sonic Superslide | Taken from a song by The Go Gos. It's a great name for a band. Their music would be catchy, uptempo, melodic, upbeat and fun. They would also do some 80s style pop power ballads. The kind that build to a climax in the middle and then come down at the end and are very melodic and touching. Their power ballads would be quite memorable. | Edward | ||
| Sonix Boom | I came up with this name because I like rockin' video game music like that of the nw sonic games, I rest my case. I think it's a cool name because of all the misspellings in band names. | Joshua | ||
| Sons Of Kane | Because me and my mates were thinking of a band name. I thought of the wrestler Kane, and then thought that Sons of Kane was a cool idea. | chris | ||
| Sons of Play | This name kind of gives you the feeling: these boys really work hard and don't do it just for the money...after all...it's a family thing. | ivorin | ||
| Soon, Yet Zen | Named after the famous Chinese guy Sun Yat Sen. | J.C. | ||
| sooner not later | we are still young but we wana hit it big soon key word there soon a in sooner not later PEACE IM OUTA HERE | tim k | ||
| Sophie's Gravitas | I read it in a book. it goes something like "She was as intelligent, and beautiful. But none of Sophie's gravitas." | Alpha | ||
| Sopwith Camel-Toe | Yeah- we're talking "wing span" here! Great band from the '60's, now fronted by Alanis Morisette | princejellyfish | ||
| Sordid Evil | I was playing that game 'resident evil', then I just replaced resident with sordid and thought that would be a cool heavy metal band name. | 50 cent rocks | ||
| Sorely Mistaken | sounds cool enough | deadeye | ||
| Sorrowful Songs Of The Weeping Willow | While watching weeping willow limbs blowing in the wind, the wind made a whistling a very sad but deep whistle like it was singing a lullaby. | Trent | ||
| Soul Nite | My friend and I were coming up with band names and she came up with this one, perhaps for Evanescence-like music. The debut album would be called "Life and Death" and half the cover would be live things (butterfly, girl's face) and the other half, dead things (fallen leaves, skull). | you | ||
| Soul Submission | Well me and my friend are both interested with death and its a cool hard rock name. | ADHD |
