Names -> Cool Band Names -> S, Page 7
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
Name | Origin | Submitted by: | ||
| Spear Britney | So you don't like Britney? Me neither. Try this for a metal band. | Kelly Jones (cough, cough) | ||
| Special Ed | My friends and I thought it would be a cool name because you could go up to people and say, "hey, I'm in Special Ed." Great conversation starter. | Aaron | ||
| Special Ed and the Ritalin Rangers | It's just funny in a politically incorrect twisted way. You just know somebody'd ask: Which one's Ed? | Troubadog | ||
| Special Guest | Since every band's opening act is referred to as their special guest, why not make them announce special guest Special Guest! (See my other entry, With.) | Frigmous | ||
| Special Guest Stars | This would look cool on a marquee. People would be curious to see who the guest stars are; only when they've paid and come inside would they realize that Special Guest Stars is the name of the band. | Sister Havana | ||
| Special Guests | Forever destined to be a support band.... but if we ever DID manage to headline anywhere, imagine how priceless those gig tickets would be!!!!! [Special Guests + Special Guests?!] | Shinkansen | ||
| Special Guests | When you look at your concert ticket, theres this band 'Special Guests' that seem to support everyone but never show up. Who are they!? US! | Danny McNeill | ||
| Spectacle Rock | Early Nintendo games are a veritable fountain of great names for rock groups, especially "The Legend of Zelda." Consider the following: "Lost Hills," "The Moblins," "Eyes of Gohma," "Grumble Grumble," "Triforce," and "Dodongo Dislikes Smoke." | Olvan The Terrible | ||

| Speed Limit 25 | its cool! my friends mom was driving us to school and she was going really slow. my friend then said " The speed limit is NOT 25!!!!!!" it clicked instantly. | drumma_25 | ||
| Speed Limit 55 | I passed the sign driving in my car and thought it would be good for a rock band. Although, if the band was really hard-core, it would be something like Speed Limit 95. | Kristen | ||
| Speed McQueen | Homage to the awesome Steve McQueen... but faster! | me | ||
| Speedlite | It's a flash camera attachment from Canon. It sounded pretty cool :] | Womzee | ||
| Sphere | Hey a 1 word band name that has little meaning, maybe good for a REM type band? | Alien7 | ||
| Sphinctal Release | While 'sphinctal' isn't a real word, it sounds like it means 'related to the sphincter'. Add in 'release' and you've got yourself a technical name for all that escapes the anus, aka a nice ironic name for a good band which isn't s***. | Bob | ||
| Sphincter Boy | It's from Wayne's World. I think that's how you spell it. | stew | ||
| Sphinxter | Combine Ancient History with Biology! | Bold Yelper | ||
| Spiced Ham | I think it's cool if your band is called "Spiced Ham". Spiced Ham has a flavor of rock. I think. | Adi | ||
| Spicy Caca In A Maraca | It came to me during one of my personal stream of consciousness writing exercises. I think it works because "caca" and "maraca" are rhyming Spanish words. | Renard | ||
| Spicy Chicken | I was walking through Best Buy and I saw a CD that had a chicken on the front and the band was called "The Spices". So I decided on "Spicy Chicken". I don't know why I thought of it. It just sounds cool. | 9pm News Producer | ||
| Spiders And Insides | I was watching the video to "I Miss You" by Blink 182. When it got to (the part where they sing "spiders and insides"), I came up with it! I think it's kinda funny as well. | Roz | ||
| Spiked Moles | My friend was telling me that she had to kill the moles in her yard with spikes and then I said "Spiked Moles!" and then we decided that it would be a good band name. | olivia | ||
| Spikenard | According to John's Gospel, this is what Mary anointed Jesus' feet with when he resurrected himself. Aah, the joys of Religious Studies A Level! Ho ho hee hee. | Amy | ||
| Spilt Wine | My wine glass got tipped over and I got upset, after all, what a tragic waste of alcohol =P And I thought about that saying 'Don't cry over spilt milk.' And I thought... hey... =) | Jim Town | ||
| Spinal Cracker | Another ingenious lyrics from The Beatles' classic "Come Together", which could also give birth to groups like "Walrus Gumboot", "Mojo Filter", "Holy Rollers", "Toejam Football", "Ono SideCar" and "Shooting Coca-Cola", but Spinal Cracker is the best. | beegles | ||
| Spineless | Almost sounds like a Grunge type of band. Rock on. | not-so-superman | ||
| Spiraling Decay | I think this is an awesome oppurtunity for a punk or grunge band for a name. I came up with it when i was feeling down and it just popped up in my big mexican head. | Thundakatz from ohio | ||
| SpiritDrake | Because it's my favorite temple in 'Zelda, Ocarina of Time'. Drake has to do with dragons. | James Luke | ||
| Spirochetes | Tthey are the little infectious organisms that cause venereal disease. Pronounced "spiro-keets" | kane | ||
| Spit 180 | It sounds kool. I made it up when my friend was spitting | AJ Jender | ||

| Spit Shine | Well...... I go to school At York Tech and i have to shine boots for my shop. And my instructor said that we had to have a good "Spit Shine" on our boots. So i said that would be a cool band name.. | Jd Brunner | ||
| Spit'N'Fish | it comes out of th Bible...jonah and the whale...! it came to us when we were lookin or tryin to find out band names cause we had to cahnge ours because it had been a name for atleast 4 bands already! shibby! | The Spann's | ||
| Splat! | A bit like Wham! only sort of warmer and wetter, and probably squishier. | Rich | ||
| Spleunkers In Kilts | Just made it up during a conversation. We thought it was a funny "what if" band name. | Meh | ||
| Spleunkers In Kilts | Just made it up during a conversation. We thought it was a funny "what if" band name. | Meh | ||
| Splitline Cartridge | I saw it on a package of weedwacker string. I guess that is what kind of cartridge it is. But yeah, it's a pretty cool name for a band. So my friend and i keep making logos and things using that name. | Phoenix | ||
| Splitting Headache | How is that not just the coolest band name in the world! There is no need to explain that! Definately a heavy metal band though! | Pigertaws | ||
| Spoiled Rich Kids | It would be cool for an alt/punk band that wants to PO the yuppies and go against the grain. I came up with it thinking of a band names for my band, driving from work and a pulled up next to a teenager in a SWEET Mustang Cobra. | RobM | ||
| The Spoken For | i was english class and the teacher said something and this kid said "Speak for yourself!" and i said "yea im already spoken for." | n8 | ||
| Spoken Monolith Of The Forgotten | It is our band name and we thought of it because a monolith is a stone from a circle such as stonehenge or something and they are always forgotten and never spoken of... | Bradd | ||
| Spontaneously Naked | It has happened to me before....I lie to you not....and what is music? It is life...and that is the story of my life....that and..well...30 kilograms of cheese whiz...and i don't even use the metric system regularly....but one cannot be regular with thirty bloody kilos of cheese...whilst thou art in the nude state.......... | The Incredible Myself | ||
| Spontanyous | Its awesome, when someone asks who the band is, you just say there spontanyous like out of no where. People will be mixed up all over the place. Great fun | T.M. | ||
| Spooge | It's just a cool word that is practical and can be used for any type of substance. e.g. pass me the sun spooge, do you have any lip spooge?... | rldemas | ||
| Spooky's Gun Rack | My assistant grocery manager's nickname is Spooky. He's always talking about going fishing or killing bears and going hunting. | kenneth | ||
| Spoon Dogs | Wellll...me and my friend are quite strange...we come up with random things like this kinda often...so i thought it was kewl. Im the only one arent i :o( hehehehe | SuMGuRL | ||
| Spoon-fed A-ness | Read it out loud. "A-ness" stands for awesomeness. | Psycho | ||
| Spore Addicts | A play on the word "sporatic". If you crave mushrooms, you are a 'spore addict'. | Jon | ||
| Spork | I love sporks. I was eating with one and thought it would be a cool band name! | alicia thompson | ||
| Spork | I was at taco bell one day, and all they had were sporks. Plus, sporks are awesome, half spoon - half fork. Think of the possibilities. | sexy monkey | ||
| SpOrK | Dedicated to those annoying, little plastic eating utensils --the combination of spoon and fork-- the SPORK!! | Megan Pray | ||
| Spork Attack | You know those spoon/fork thingies you get at KFC for your coleslaw? | Dave | ||
| Sporknife | sittin' around one day and thought up a way to not only combine a fork and a spoon to make spork but also a knife. .. .giving you. . .Sporknife | Sara | ||
| Sporks and Foons | My friend tried to say forks and spoons,but it kinda came out like that! | Tash | ||
| Sport | once you think about it and say it a few times, you'll realize it's the weirdest word in the world | Adam | ||
| The Sporting Woodsmen | Of course there's the double-meaning, with one meaning a state of sexual arousal, if I needed to point that out. If you like the Far Side comics a good first album cover art selection would be the one where the deer hunter throws down his gun and the deer throws down his antlers as they begin to fight - which was the inspiration for this band name. | retrofitz | ||
| Spot The Dog | Gonna use this one myself! You can say it either way, both works just fine. | Ronhar | ||
| Spotted Shower | Its like a great band everyone has heard of but never seen. When they always say "spotted showers" on the weather reports I go out and look for one. Everybody I ask has never seen a spotted shower either but we've all heard of em! They are famous, they must have a good front man. No one even knows what color the spots are supposed to be. | badboybear | ||
| The Spurious | Hah ha, me and my mates were thinking of a decent band name, i suddenly cam upon a thesaurus! what are the chances of that? Well, after a hard battle against my friends hamster, that was eating the thesaurus, i retreived it victoriously , and threw it at my friend. That was my plan all along. However it happened to land of the page say 'Spurious'. This word happens to mean B*stards and random. Excellent | Bonceyrogs | ||
| Sputnik Candy | While sitting in Social Studies class exceedingly bored, I stumbled upon the word 'sputnik', (the sattelite), and immediatly fell in love with the way it sounded. My mind then began drifting to candy. I combined the two words in my head, and found that they would make an insanely spectacular name for a hardcore, original punk rock band. | Spoo the Amazing | ||
| Square Moon | Sound like a experimental band, really cool name, I was up to call my band like this, but we play trashy-heavy metal and the name sounds too soft | Riveret | ||
| The Square Root of the Fifty-Degree Angle | Some guy was pretending to say something smart, so he blurted out something like this. Could be the name of an 80's one hit wonder band. | aldrAea | ||
| Squarepusher. | This is the coolest-sounding(one o em anyway) drum 'n bass artist name, but I don't know exactly why Tom Jenkinson decided too call himself that... | jonnio | ||
| The Squee-Gees | Okay, so it kinda sounds like the Bee Gees, but how cool is the name of this common household item? | Emily | ||
| Squeegie | My homies and I came up with this name because our first album is called Look Through the Window and we wanted a name too do with windows. We were originally THE WINDOW WASHERS but we thought it was to repetive to have the word window in your band name, album and first single. We changed it to something you wash the windows with. | hohopollio235 | ||
| Squeegy! | haha.. I was at my dads house helping him wipe down windows and make them dry w/ a "Squeegy" and I had no clue what they were called, so I asked my dad, he told me, "Squeegy!" I was like "Holy f***!" i loved the word! I kept saying it over and over and over, it sounds like a kinda weird / cheesy band name but I find it cool! | ..... | ||
| Squid Pistol | This one just came to me out of the blue. I think they would be a wacky Alternative band that would do music much like that of Smashmouth. | drlondon | ||
| Squirrelly Wrath | My BFF and I were at EMP and asked to name a band we wanted to start. Since we had been watching way to much "Neurotically Yours", my friend said, "We're Squirrelly Wrath, and we're gonna getcha!" | Leila Chan | ||
| Squirrels In The Attic | My dad told me there were squirrels in our attic. I thought "hey! that would make a great band name someday" | Leann | ||
| SRO | On Broadway, when a show is sold out, the theater management puts out a sign on the ticket window that says "SRO" or "Standing Room Only". If musicians want to be a great band, they would hope that their concerts are SRO. | united | ||
| St Dominics School Choir | We go to St Dominics school... and we thought it was original | Kirsty and Alex | ||
| St. Anik | This is a good name for a heavy metal type band b/c when you say it, it sounds like "satanic" | Katie L. | ||
| St. Sakura | It's great for a J-Pop girl group! I came up with it watching some awards show, as I was looking for names for my girl group (we were Sugar Puffs....) and I saw "St. Nowhere" and since we were all obsessed with Cardcaptor Sakura, I came up with St. Sakura! So I say name a J-Pop band that. | Ari | ||
| St. Timmy | I came up with the name becuase of Green Day's song "St. Jimmy". This is a cool name! | MIXMASTA | ||
| St. Vincent and the Grenadines | The real St. Vincent and the Grenadines is a Carribbean country. I've been thinking for a while now of starting a ska/reggae band under the name. How utterly appropriate it would be. | Pinto | ||
| St0rm | What happened was there was MTV on, during a storm. Well, me and my buds sung the songs, but the storm cut the power off, and so wa sung the rest of the song that we were listening to. | bob | ||
| Stabbing Lucifer | well we were all just sorta sitting around here at my place one day trying to think of a name and my friend was like how bout stabbing something thats always good, then i was like lucifer...stabbing lucifer | feen dog | ||
| Stage Fright | We thought of Stage Fright because it sounds kool and its a fear that can eat away at you, but we were strong enough to over come it and now were on are way to being the next Evanescence or 12 Stones! | Joe DeKezel | ||
| Stagefright | A band with the name stagefright. I just think that'd be funny. | Sera | ||
| Stained Back | It's my band name and we thought it was cool because we are always wearing back clothes, painted back nails, etc...so we thought what better name then Stained Black! We're a punk/rock band and its me (a girl) and three guys! | nikki | ||
| Stalker John | A double-reference: a nod to the M*A*S*H character Trapper John but mainly a reference to John Stalker, a well-known figure in the UK. He used to be the outspoken deputy chief constable of Manchester Police, until he was implicated in a corruption case and forced into early retirement. Bizarrely, after a few years out of the public eye, he can now regularly be seen advertising roll-out sunblinds on daytime TV. | Goosey Gander | ||
| Stalking Grandma | stalkers never stalk old people..so i figured get grandma some credit shes hott for a 80 year old | moe lee | ||
| Stalking Kyle Park | It's the screen name of some chick that stalks a kid in my school. It would make a good chick band name, but if you change it to a girl's name it works for a guy band too. | The Platypus | ||
| Stall Number Five | Good name for a punk band; came up with it when in a subway system whose name will not be mentioned, and the call of nature diredted me to the bathroom. There was only 5 stalls, and the first four were full. The last one had a very large , dead squid inside of it. | Barry Wolfenden | ||
| Stammer | When there is just no good word for the way they rock....the fans just Stammer | Trickett | ||
| Stand and Deliver | We saw this somewhere on the internet. We couldn't stop talking about how funny it was. It sounds so innocent but is so guilty. We are currently using this one. | Ryan,Grant,Zack,Travis | ||
| Standard Diviation | I think this is the coolest band name ever!!!!!! We play rock and it just fits!!!!!! | LZRD | ||
| Standard Protocol | I was thinking of a name for my band. I was searching the web for emergencies. It was in a sentence that said, "It's the standard protocol". | anonymous | ||
| Standing Elbow Jumps | Once, I was skiing and there was a sign that said "No standing below jumps", meaning stay away from jumps so someone doesn't land on you. I misread it as "No Standing Elbow Jumps". | Ten Second Braeden | ||
| Standing On A Stout | Stout is a strong black beer, and I can't stand drinking it... | Fields | ||
| Stantron And The Lickity Splits | Stantron is my robot alter ego. The lickity splits is my loyal army of robots. | stanton | ||
| Stapende Doet | "Walking dead" in Dutch | Jasper | ||
| Star Dreamers | Its a top name for a popband, me and my mate come up with it because we really wanted to be in stardom ! | Gemma | ||
| Star Freeze | This is on a pokemon card and is one of Starmie's attacks. It would be cool for a techno/ska band! | Panic Pagoda | ||
| Starcraft | My friend Kyle & I like to play the game so we are thinking about naming our band that. Our band might be playin' other band's songs. | Rikochet | ||
| The Stare | The singers of 70's punk bands (mainly Johnny Rotten) always seemed to have a really hard cold stare. So that's why! | punk111 | ||
| Starfish Pizza | Cool image but foul-tasting idea. | Johnny D | ||
| The Stark Naked Car Thieves | When I was younger listening to music in my room, my grandpa would always walk by and say "Who the hell are you listening to? The Stark naked car thieves???" I always said if I started a band that's what I would name it! | Cheryl Baker |
