Names -> Cool Band Names -> S, Page 10
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
Name | Origin | Submitted by: | ||
| Suicidal Telephones | My homies and I were hanging around the pool once and I dropped Khiyal's phone into the water. He got mad, but my reply was "You know how it is with these suicidal telephones nowadays." Maybe you just had to be there. | Jamiey | ||
| Suicide Blonde | It sounds like it would be a great name for a riot grrl-type band, and it's originally the title of an INXS song. | Carla Bisagni | ||
| The Suicide Division | Rather insenstive joke blending the fate of Joy Division with the name of the band. Conjures up images of uniformed government officials handing out razors, cyanides and ropes to teens. Maybe I'm just sick. | Christ | ||
| Suicide Fuel | I thought about a heavy rusty metal gas container that leaked and couldn't stand up by itself, with sharp edges. The gas would leak from the container and if you would stand by it to hold it up the gas would leak by your feet, and when you tried to step away from the container the container would fall over and an edge would strike the floor making a spark and igniting the gas. You would stare as the gas trailed to the container and then exploded, and think i could of died and people would of thought it was suicide. | Joe | ||
| The Suicide Pop Tart Monkeys | I made a pop tart do a suicide jump, and loved monkeys at the time, so i thought I'd put it together. And ka-bang! Here it is. | devin melrose | ||
| Suicide Ramen | Well, we saw this on a web site. It was this thing were you get Ramen noodles and put alot of spices in it to make it hot. And what not so, yeah? We think it is wierd and that not one would have ever thought of it and our guitarist loves Ramen noodles. | joseph | ||
| The Suicide Squad | It came from an anime. I was reading called Fruits Basket. The name amused me so much I couldn't help but want to submit it onto this site. | Sarah <3 | ||
| The Suitcase Faces | The name pokes fun at superficial phoneys from all walks of life and politics. They talk about you behind your back, but fold up like a cheap $2 suitcase when you come around, then tell you how much you are admired. | Chris | ||
| Sullen | This is my bands name. Me and my bandmates came up with the name Sullen because all of our songs are sad and depressing, plus it's got a kick-ass sound! | Gothika | ||
| Sum eAt | When I was younger, my mom would bring me with her to babysit her co-worker/friend's two kids. One of them, the younger one would always say, "Some Eat!" when he was hungry. So I figured, why not a band called "Sum Eatt"? Sounds pretty retro, huh? | Lolly-Pop Sided | ||
| SUMOPART | I was thinkin about the saying "The sum is greater than it's parts" (or something close to that), and just put it together-sum of parts-sumopart. The Sumo imagery is an added bonus. | OLLIE | ||
| sunApod | Well I didn't like it too much, but it was our name for a while. Reason is that we could not decide between Tripod and sunA. Tripod because there are 3 of us and sunA because it spelled backwards is silly. Its a silly word. So we combined the two and got sunApod. The 'A' must be in caps!!! | Scott | ||
| sunbathing grannycat | Our cat is cool and she sunbathes! She deserves respect so there! (She is old, too) | dj guinea piggy | ||
| Sunburned Zebras | This was inspired by stuperspasm, who used the answer to a riddle as inspiration for the band name Baby in a Blinder. "A sunburned zebra" is the answer to "What's black and white and red all over?" It's a dumb riddle, but the answer sounds funny when taken out of context. | Da Phoenix | ||
| Sundae Bloody Sundae | What Mafia types have to deal with when eating at Dairy Queen. Another name inspired by radio shock jocks. | ice | ||
| Sunday Came Again | I'm in a band and...that was our old name until we changed it to Shattered Bliss..and we came up with Sunday Came Again because my g/f broke up with me on a Sunday and then my new g/f broke up with me on another Sunday...and it was like deja voo but with a different girl and it was like SUnday came again n shit u get the idea, right? | J Man | ||
| A Sunday Drive | There was this sign called Sunday Lane and the next street was called Ridge Drive. So I mixed the two together and got that. It's a pretty cool name for some indie band or maybe fast punk. | Lukas | ||
| Sunday Lunch | There was a sign on the wall of a pub my band played saying, "Back by popular demand - sunday lunch" and we thought it was a band! Sounds cool! | Rob | ||
| Sunday Morning Hangover | I was reading names on this page. One was Saturday Morning Jesus; and I was thinking of how I could change it more for a band I want to start, since my band is not a Christian band and I came up with that. If you want you might think it sounds better like Saturday Morning Hang Over or Monday Morning Hang Over or whatever day you want. | Drummerchick | ||
| The Sunday Punchers | I dunno if its cool, but it was a group of people in the Army who would bomb the crap out of people. | oooooohhhhh | ||
| Sundays By The Pool | It's cool just because it sounds so chilled out. I've named a soft rock MD of mine this because you can image yourself drinking a cold beer in the sun by the pool on Sunday. Just think about it..its a cool name for a jazz/soft rocky band. | Jon Cook | ||
| Sundowners | My wrestling tag team name as a child, seems to fit a band name perfectly. | Reckless Ron | ||
| Sunset on the Rise | I was randomly thinking of a sunset and then it kinda just came to mind. | g dizzle | ||
| Supa South!es | My mates and I all live in South End. We went to a fancy dress party as Super South End Gals and voila !! Typical Essex gals over in da crib here. | caz | ||
| super glue theory | the wise one | |||
| Super K-Gro | A brand of plant food sold at K-Mart. Perfect for a rapper with an imposing figure, especially if his first name begins with K. | Olvan The Terrible | ||
| Super Superiors | la baba | |||
| Super Ted Is Dead | Well he must be, have you seen him recently? I think its a "super" name for a band in fact I wonder what kind of music Super Ted and Spotty man would have come up with. Is this an American site? If so, you might not have had Super Ted when you were kids. | Mr. Pete | ||
| Superficial Lies | I think this would be a cool name because a lot of artists sing songs about lies. Sometimes, lies can also be only skin deep. | why? | ||
| Superheroes By Night | at first it wont make sense to you but then you thinkand your like whoa i get it at night they become super heroes | Doggie | ||
| Superior Lint | me and my friend were talking about the dryer and how slow it goes and we were all,"at leat that superior lint does a great job" and i was like...HEEEY that sounds like a band name!!! | Amanda | ||
| Superman Skivvies | From the Sweater Song by Weezer – “hate to see you lying there in your Superman skivvies.” It also reminds me of that scene in Charlie’s Angels where Cameron Diaz dances around in Superman underwear, although I hated that movie. | mimi | ||
| Supermarket Sweeties | I was a part time cashier at the local supermarket, and one of the customers who was a regular always called me sweetie! | Yasmine | ||
| Supernova Jackson's Dream People | At the University of Illinois, I spent three years in a sketch comedy group named Potted Meat. In one of our writing sessions, the name 'Supernova Jackson' came up. after a year and six shows, it became the sketch 'The First Installment of Supernova Jackson's Dream People". Mr. Jackson was a flamboyant louge singer who narrated the sketch by song. No really, it was funny. Potted Meat would probably be a good name too, come to think of it. Also Birdcheese. | Geoff R | ||
| Supershine | It represents nothing I guess, I was looking out the window and it was hot as hell hand the sun was blairing righ in my face and my buddy says "dude, its like super hot outside" ..... so I kinda thought with the shiny and super mixed togeter it would be cool.... supershine. | cockeye | ||
| SuperStupid | It's a new super hero. He's not just stupid, he's super stupid. A buddy of mine (cK) came up with it... | b00g | ||
| Supesgojira | I'm a big Godzilla nut, and this is SpaceGodzilla's Japanese name. | Alex D. | ||
| The Support Band | I was at a show and the first band came on and we yelled out 'WHATS YOUR BAND CALLED?' and he's like "I dunno! We're just the support band!" Then I thought, wow, wouldn't it be cool if that was what they were called... it turned out to be some other wierd name. Me and my friends have a band and didn't have a name so now we are "The Support Band". It would be especially cool if we ever headline a show... Please don't take our name. | Lani | ||
| Sure Fire | This name is good for a band that always has a good song and is crazy at shows. | Ryan C. | ||
| The Surefire Way | I was in a guy situation, and I was just thinking to myself, "a surefire way into a girl's heart is to cheer her up when another guy makes her sad." Then I went hey... The Surefire Way could be an amazing band name!! Like you always get it right, plus surefire is a pretty cool rock-ish word. | Alex | ||
| Surf Nuns on Acid | In the mid-1980's I wrote up an article about crazy band names, and had to invent one myself. This sounded weird enough. | Timothy Campbell www.tc123.com | ||
| The Surfactants | Found on a list of ingredients on the back of a bottle of dish soap. Could work for a band like the Strokes or Jet. | Olvan The Terrible | ||
| Surge | Cause it sounds awesome. And its a kind of pop I drink. | Mike | ||
| Surrealistic Plummers | It's the subject of an AP physics problem. Sounded like a psychedelic rock band to me. | JR | ||
| Surrender Dorothy | I just think this would be a cool band name. The allusion to The Wizard of Oz doesn't hurt! I came up with it because it is very prominent when the Wicked Witch writes it in the sky. | Bill | ||
| Surroundsound | I don't really know. I was sitting here thinking of sweet names and it clicked! [Ed's note: Surroundsound is what comes with a lot of home theater stereo systems.] | Matt James | ||
| Survivor's Guilt | I was reading the lyrics to Nightwish's Kinslayer and that name just came up. Thought it sounded cool for some kind of metal band. | LookieHere | ||
| Susan Di Lucci and the Miracle of Life | It's from an urban legend. Supposedly a lesbian woman named Susan De Luci (in the story on Snopes.com, the name is spelled differently each time it appears) heard about, erm, fun things a woman can do with a lobster and decided to give it a try. End result, she ended up giving birth to thousands of brine shrimp, compliments of the lobster who crapped the brine shrimp eggs (which it had eaten prior to its capture) in the nether regions of her personal universe. Afterwards, she fainted in horror, hit her head on the bathtub, and died. Needless to say, there is absolutely no truth to the story, but when I read it, well, it was one of those moments when a person just has to yell "BAND NAME!!!" even though there's nobody around to hear... | The Asbestos Mango | ||
| Sushi Alien Panic | Once, when I ate at a Japanese resturant, I thought about a person who ate raw fish and got tapeworm. Then I thought of the part in the "Alien" movie where the aliens reproduce inside of people. | duke the magic bum | ||
| Suspicious Rush | I was sitting in Science class and a box came in and it had a Sticker on it saying Suspicious Rush so i thought it was cool | Jacob | ||
| Sustained | just say it...it sounds amazing | Cody | ||
| Suzuki Tarot | This came from some misunderstood lyrics, for what song I can't remember. It's stuck with me for years as just a cool, mystical sounding name that would be perfect for a trippy sounding rock band. | Binnath | ||
| Swallow Mud | Like the mud those little swallows use to make their nest that they can stick on walls and stuff. All their tunes could be so catchy, they would be buzzing in your head and leave you walking around in public humming like some kind of simpleton. Then you would enter politics where you would be embraced with open arms. Well look what happened to Bill & Hillary. | badboybear | ||
| Swamp Gas Agenda | I was going through a thesaurus and just put a few words together, it just sounds cool to me. | Brandon J. | ||
| The Swamp Tenors | I received "swamp tenors" as an unsolicited spam -- I collect spam-generated band names, and this is my favorite. | princessinger | ||
| Swamp Thrashers | I was explaining swamps to a drunk friend, then got on the subject of a bird that thrives in them, called something similair to "thrasher." Then it hit me-the Swamp Thrashers! The dirtiest and slimiest punk band EVER. | Milk | ||
| Swapnil | It's my name, and its a name that hardly anyones ever heard of. It just sounds weird/cool. | Swapnil | ||
| Swayless | if feels like the beat of an ocean. swaying from side to side. | Briana Jo | ||
| Sweat Band | Is it a thing around your forehead or a group of musicians who sweat a lot? I suppose we'll never know... | Muz is Kool | ||
| Sweat Dreams | Do I really need to explain? Never dreamed about Annie Lennox at night? Could also be WET DREAMS. | triple-crown-system | ||
| Sweating Fetus | This name came from a game of Exquisite Corpse, an impromptu game where poems are created by stringing random words together. The name of the game comes from the game itself. | Peter, Simon, and Toy | ||
| The Swedish Chickens | this is cool because Swedish is just generally a funny word and when you think of chickens, the last thing that comes to mind is chickens. | Ryan Powers | ||
| Swedish Fish | It's named after the candy, which, by the way, is VERY good. My friends and i were sitting around talking about our favorite candy, and bands, when someone was like "i LOVE SWEDISH FISH!" I was like, OMG! That would be a great name for a band!! I know, kinda cheesy, but o well. | Nikki | ||
| Swedish Meatball | I came up with it. The name I call my ex-manager because he was from Sweden. | Matthew Good | ||
| Swee-d-𢾊i) | I've found that when I call my dogs "sweety," it often comes out sounding more like "sweedy." Change that to "Swee-D" and add the symbol 𠨰i), and you have a little play on "sweety-pie." | Da Phoenix | ||
| the sweedish all stars | Me and my friends took a trip to a bunch of countries on some summer trip. One of the countries was Sweeden. There were these two hot girls me and my friends were trying to imprese, but they said they only dated Sweedish all stars | ELF | ||
| Sweet Acid | I was trying to come up with some cool band names. I was up all night trying to get a good name so our band will get a good start. So I went to go get a midnight snack and The Discovery Channel was on. I saw a part of a show that mentioned acid and, "acid" stuck in my head. Then I saw the word "Sweet" on a billboard in the morning and, "sweet" stuck in my head. So I put the two words together and got Acid Sweet, but that didn't sound great at all, so I reversed them and I came up with OUR band name, "SWEET ACID". | Andrew V. | ||
| Sweet Chop Skinna and the Jazz Pals | See, my band was looking for a new name, and the trumpet players last name is Skinner. We thought it would be cool to add "jazz pals" at the end, since we're a jazz band and really tight as friends. But everybody in the band thought it was gay. So I hope it can suit some jazz band out there. "Sweet Chop" was just randomly thought up and also when I thought up pals,I was thinking of the Cabbage patch kids for some reason. I like The Cabbage Patch Pals, what another cool name huh. | Chavez | ||
| Sweet Denial | I always get denied stuff and eventually you learn to deal with it. It even becomes a sweet feeling. | Casius | ||

| Sweet Nausea-Vember | Named after the 1968 Sandy Dennis/Anthony Newley incomprehensible disease-of-the-week movie that Ali MacGraw became much more famous for, because it's the kind of thing that makes a lot of people(especially us guys) nauseous. | The Skuz | ||
| Sweet Piles O' Mine | I was thinkin for a band name with my brother when we were trying to think of track names to change. Then I thought of "Sweet Child o' Mine" and how awesome it is. Then thought I would make it a funny band name by naming it after an anal infection. | Greg Hulme | ||
| Sweet Pillow Killers | It's more like an inside joke, really... My best friend came to my place and brought some "sweet pillows" with her, plus she gave me a pocket knife. And at one moment I stabbed it into one of the "pillows". And then it just hit me! It was hilarious at that moment... | DS | ||
| Sweet Sweet Sausage | I was having some sausage for breakfast one day, and I thought to myself, "Hey, this sausage is really sweet." | seewnad | ||

| Sweetart | we made a belt with candy wrappers and one of them was a sweetarts wrapper then we thought it would be a cool band name! | syd | ||
