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.

Name | Origin | Submitted by: | ||
Stealth Ninja Polar Bear | Ninjas and polar bears are cool, so combine them and you have one h*** of a killing machine. | Barnesy | ||
Steaming Faces | Only works if you're dirty punk rock. | VAL | ||
Steaming Hot Pilez | Wanted one of those 3 word names that was vogue for awhile.....sounds kinda like stone temple pilots | barry sinclair aka jesus manson | ||
steaming pile | The name of a band at my school, kinda funny. | sara | ||
Steaming Rigatoni and the Oxford Scholars | My friend Greg made it up, he was just looking at random books in his house and choose words from their titles to make the name. Anyway, it would definitely be a ska band... | Laurendo | ||
The Steel Breeze | A recurring theme in Floyd's beautiful piece "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" from WYWH. Its more or less the idea behind it, to get blown on steel breeze (many interpretations). Two very culminating words. I'll bet there's a few bands out there with this very name.. | Goodolarchie | ||
Steel Bridge | could be the kind of bridge that you drive on, or the bridge of your guitar. hmmmm. | skooch | ||
Steel Democrats | Al Gore's favorite band. Probably a country band. | Junior | ||
Steel Feather | We were having some crazy discussion in physical science about air resistance and one of my friends asked if a feather made of steel would fall very fast. I insantly yelled out BAND NAME! | turd ferguson | ||
Steel Songbird | Along the same lines as Iron Butterfly and Stone Roses. | Princess Ana | ||
Steelhead, or the Yo-yos. | I think if your band plays rippin, thrashin metal, or hard rock, steelhead, i think, is a great name. Does anyone else? The Yo-yos, i think, would be if your playing Oldies, or like early 70's, late 60's music. | Josh | ||
Stefany's Last Decade | It's cool, because the name "Stephanie" isn't spelled like it normally is. I know a lot of bands out there use names in their band names, so why not? | Katie | ||
Stella | This is a cool name 'cause it means Bright Star, and when you're in a band you wanna be a star right? (although you might get slapped with some court issues from Hoku, but you can argue in your defense that you were much, much better!) | Molly | ||
Stella Rossa | Stella Rossa means "red star" in Itialian and people who are in bands need to shoot for the stars and my faviorte color is red. | ------------- | ||
Step On Tacks | One day I had my friend over for dinner and we were talking about cool band names, and all of a sudden I stepped on a tack and she said, "That's it! Step On Tacks!" | Tiphaniegh | ||
Stephen's Demons | There is this guy I know called Stephen and he is the Supreme Master of Evil. His other friends are the demons. So I put 2 and 2 together.... | quickstep | ||
Steps to Nowhere | i was on a balcony looking down at these stairs that led to nowhere. Most of these bands today are going to steeping to nowhere. Theyll try hard but most wont succeed due to the amount of talent you need to become big | michael bruce | ||
Stereo-vision | Because it's at the beginning of old movies. | Christoph | ||
Stereophonic Breadsticks | I saw it on a Dominos Pizza commercial. The joke was that they imaginable in front of the word "breadsticks" and "free" was the most popular. Stereophonic was one of the rejects and I just thought, that's brilliant | Gnome Man | ||
Stereos | This means solid in Greek, plus it sounds cool | langt | ||
Stereothrash | one day my radio wasnt working, so i threw it out the window and stomped on it (lol) so i said to my mom, "i thrashed my stereo up"and it just came to me. STEREOTHRASH | kevin | ||
Stereotyped Youth | Our guitarist's dad said that bands are gangs and all we will do is drugs and kill people. So just because we were young we got stereotyped. | Jeffery | ||
Sterile | Clean..?...sure...like a needle in your arm. | Trickett | ||
Sterile Tortoise | it's cool coz it's my email. I came up with it by doing really cruel things to animals in my 'normal' childhood. | Jason | ||
Steve Irwin's wildlife warriors | I was watching animal planet and a comercial came on for the wildlife warrior's fund and I thought that it would be a nice name for a band in memory of Steve Irwin | Ashley | ||
Steve Just Steve | The name of a "band" from some kid's show. No one in it was named Steve. BRILLIANT! | meeeee | ||
Steve Novak Djokovic | A combination of Toronto Raptors player Steve Novak and tennis player Novak Djokovic | JeReMy | ||
The Stewieheads | Remember The Lemonheads? Since the head of Stewie Griffin of "Family Guy" fame is shaped like a lemon (albeit a long lemon), he could inspire a perfectly evil death metal band. | Sir Dame | ||
Stick To Butter | A friend forwarded me an e-mail on how much better butter is for you than margarine and it "stuck" (did you know margarine is one molecule away from being plastic?!) | luvjo | ||
Stick To Your Guns | I just like that saying; it sounds like a pretty cool band name. | michael | ||
stiff banaa | Well, I have to give the credit to my friend heather. We were trying to name my friend's band, and we were thinkin of limp bizkit so we were like okay stiff is the opposite of limp and as for bizkit, we were like okay, funny-shaped foodstuff = banana ;), so hence, stiff banana was born. I think it would be cool for a band who have a good sense of humour and want to rip the piss outta limp bizkit or other metal bands like that | lauren | ||
Stiff C*** Midgets | Imagine the posters. Besides, who wouldn´t want to see midgets with stiff c***s??? | Henke Hantel | ||
STIFF RICHARD | do i really need to explain why this is so cool . | joe mamma | ||
Stigmata | My mates and I were looking through a dictionary for a cool metal band name. Stigmata means the holes in Jesus' wrists when he was crucified, or an outcast from society. | cypher | ||
Stigmatized Casanova | I was doing a project for my art class where you had to create a cd cover for a band (real or made up) I was gonna do The Calling, but that was typical of me. So I thought and I'm like "Oooo how about Stigmatized Casanova?" Stigmatized because in my head I saw like these Gothic Vampires, and Vampires are always disgraceful because they are vampires. These particular group of vampires are lady chamers. | Chelsie | ||
The Stiletto Secret | Joking with a guy friend that he likes to wear heels. | Erin McCord | ||
Still Strong | My band and i have broken up and gone from, Denver Harbor to Harboring Denver to Hearts Aquitted to League of Corrinth to Mark Hamell and the Avengers to Long Road Ahead, and then the 4 of us reunited once and for all and said we're Still Strong but under the band name 7th Inning Stretch | JJ | ||
Still To Be Decided | it isn't . its gay, but whatever. someone was like whut are you gauys called and i was like its still to be decided | Kyla | ||
Stingrays Of The Great Basin | A friend of mine says that each US state somehow brings up some image in her mind. Nevada, she says, makes her think of a stingray for some reason. | Regina Haniger | ||
The Stink Pickles | My step-brother was over and he told me he didn't want to fart 'cause he was afraid he might push out a stink pickle, he thinks it would be a good name for my band. | dustin | ||
the Stinkin' Fish | I think that's a nice name for a band:) It's cool because if they really suck, they can admit it...if they don't, then....it's just cool. My friend has a band, and I sometimes joke at him like that. I call his band "The Stinkin' Fish"... | Alex | ||
Stinkiosity | It was on an episode of "Growing Pains". Carol's teacher told her that her essay was "replete with stinkiosity". | Phillip "Screw" Driver | ||
The Stints | Since there are numerous bird names for bands, including The Larks, The Sandpipers, The Flamingos, and The Eagles, here's another bird name I thought I'd suggest! | D. Melody Dole, MD | ||
Stives | It really is St. Ives all squished together. IO made it up while i was in the shower using St. Ives body wash... | Frankie | ||
Stocker | My worst enemy's last name is Lax, and one day, I was calling him "L.A.X.," and he started shouting at me, "S-T-O-C-K-E-R! Stalker! Stalker!" I know, he's such an idiot for not knowing how to spell "stalker." | Rachel | ||
The Stockholm Smashers | Just in case the NFL wants a football team in Sweden, this would be a perfect name. If not, then another Scandinavian hot rock band. | Opie M. | ||
Stockz N Bondz | It's like one of those hip hop names where they change the S's to Z's. | Luke | ||
Stoic | It means 'unaffected by pleasure or pain'. I think it would be awesome for a goth/punk band. It just sounds so cool. I love it. | Whisper | ||
Stokers | Oh yeah as in stoked (surfers lingo) but have to admitt a tapp'd name | Dylan | ||
Stolen Battlewounds | I'm not positive this isn't taken. But as far as I know, it's not. The word 'battlewounds' was in my mind from somewhere, and 'stolen' was completely genereated. However, together I like them. I feel like it implies sacrifice in a loving way. Think about it. To step into a battle and take the pain for something that's not meant for you. It's bittersweet. | david. hi. | ||
Stolen Bike | my bike got stolen today :( | non | ||
Stolen Chihuahua | I was playing baseball one night, and this guy walks up to me and asks if I've seen a chihuahua. "Looks like the Taco bell dog" Ends up, someone broke into the guys truck and stole his chihuahua. | m a t t h e w | ||
Stone Antica | It is the Gaurding Demon of Death in the Roman Greek times. It's cool how it sounds like stone attic!!!! Stoner man!!!!!!!! | Super Marijuana Bros. | ||
Stone Faith | When I was thinking of band names for my churches band name I saw a statue and thought a stone statue. So I came up with Stone Faith. | Buckeyefan18 | ||
Stoned Immaculate | I got this of of a Doors song Jim Morrison says a little saying and then says, "Out here we is stoned immaculate." | Vercetti Jones | ||
Stoned Wheat | Saw it on a box of crackers. Thought it would be a great name for a band. | TriXXX | ||
stop the itch | this dude from my band was sitting in one of his classes at school and saw this newspaper article that said stopping the itch, so he came up with stop the itch. its awesome | Special K | ||
Storm Surge | It's the centre of the turbulence. It's the master of the tempest. It's not where anyone wants to be and a terror if are there. Escape! Now while you still can. | Eliyah | ||
Storm Warning | This would be a great name for a band no matter what style of rock or pop music they did. Makes them sound slightly dangerous. | Edward | ||
A Storm Within | Me friend said something that sounded like astor within so i came up with this | troymoney$ | ||
Story of the Day | There's a funny story behind this one but it's too long to tell on here. lol. I'll just say someone texted someone else something very very bad off of MY phone and I told my friend it was the story of my day. | Pandora | ||
Story Told | i thought that every story has already had to been told or else it wouldnt be a story... and usually every song has a story to it... so every story is told. | shelby | ||
Stowaway | i am shocked cuz nobody put this on the list.a band cant get a better name than this.what can be the thing cooler than getting onboard without a ticket.the word itself has a spirit of revoltism | emosky68 | ||
Straight Curve | how in the hell can you get a strraight curve it makes no sence and thats why its good. | glen lee | ||
Straight F Students | College rock band!!! Lazy hot guys with an interest for alochol and orgies. :P Thought of the name right now and I have many more on the come. Just finished a song called "I Got The Hots For My Teacher" which would go perfect with the band name. | Hot Rock Chicks (do their own Piercing)Comingsoon | ||
Straight Forward | It tells that a band tells it like it is, no political correctness crap. | jakbe nimble | ||
Straight on Dicks | Me and a friend were giving someone directions, and he said "go straight on Dix (avenue). and we both looked at each other and chortled. It kinda has a turbonegro-esque faux homo-erotic vibe to it. | Nick | ||
Strange Bedfellows | Heard the phrase tossed around a bit. Perfect for an up-and-coming band. | Yoidy | ||
Strange Brew | The brewery is... | Denderson | ||
Strangelet | Strangelet is a particle that could destroy the whole universe. That's doesn't make any sense to be a band name,but sounds okay to me. | Paolo | ||
Strangers In Town | When you go from state to state, town to town, you are a stranger until you get fans. | Will | ||
Straphanger and the Tokenettes | I thought this would be a funny name for a 50s band or a modern-day retro-50s band even. A straphanger is a subway communter. You (used to) pay by tokens. | Jack Case | ||
Stratocasters | It's a kind of guitar. The name alone just sounds sweet. Like Alexisonfire. | Erik | ||
Stratosphere | I though it sounded cool because I was listening to "From First To Last" He sings like really high for a guy. I was like "Dude is in the Stratosphere. . ." | hizNATCH | ||
StratusFear | I was just sitting thinking about clouds. This is a kinda play on words as when the clouds turn black you get StratusFear (stratosphere). This would be good for a metal/rock band. | hawyermaw | ||
Straw Dogs | Sort of play on "Stray Cats" and also a cult 70s film. | pip | ||
The Strawberry Something | I just think it sounds quirky | Sparkina | ||
The Stray Bullet | I find this name totally awesome! It is just sooo visual. I thought of ia bullet as a rocker in our society of today. You know.. he is a stray from everyone else ( a stray from society). | shane | ||
Stray Dog Strut | It's the name of a Cowboy Bebop episode, but it's so darn cool! To 'strut' means to 'walk pretentiously' or 'swagger' and a 'stray dog' just sounds like freedom and streetsmarts, ya know? | Whitney | ||
Streamlined Conscience | It just seems so dark, but it's good enough to confuse all the 'over controlling paranoid' parents to think it's appropiate. It will fit the emo or metal bands. | tayla | ||
Strep In The Daycare | I was visiting family and there was strep going around in my cousins daycare... | Sam Tom | ||
Strepth Throat | I was sick one time and when I tried to hum a song and when I said, "Stupid strepth throat" out loud. | Sammy | ||
Strictly Plutonic | A non-sexual relationship between nuclear engineers? Or a techno group. | RevengeFromMars YouTube | ||
The Stride | my cousin and i were thinking about what a band that was a cross between the white stripes/the hives/the vines would be like and we came up with the name 'the stride'. | saira | ||
Strike Down the Angels | My friend came up with it. The band would be a heavy metal, Disturbed type music | m roosevelt | ||
Strikeout Kings | Great for any nerdy band. The members probably strike out with women all the time. | RevengeFromMars YouTube | ||
Stronger Than Dirt | Hey, it sold detergent and it can sell CDs too. And besides, Jim Morrison sang it at the end of "Touch Me". | rocknroll | ||
Strumstar Hammer | This is actually the title of a secret page on the homstarrunner.com website, but doesn't it sound like a great metal (or perhaps even country) band? | christie | ||
Strych 9 | I was looking in the dictionary and found this (strychnine). It means a poisonous type of gas. Pretty tight. | PHIL | ||
Stubby Pecker and the Four Skins | Larry, a high school friend told me it. | Cheam Peake | ||
Stuck In Neutral | Kind of a synonym for "Getting Nowhere Fast". This was actually the original name of our basement band, but we eventually scrapped it. | Nathan | ||
Stuck In The Tongue | Ow! I just got a little bit of plastic stuck in my tongue while reading these pages and realised it was a cool band name. But was it worth bleeding my tongue? | The Duck | ||
Stuck on Repeat | Imagine a song that was stuck on repeat but could never get old? Hopefully the band with this name can be that good! | Chuk | ||
Stuck On Repeat | I thought of it when i was listening to SUM41's lyrics from its new album "Does this look infected?". I was listening to track ten, it said "Silence is ringing in my head, STUCK ON REPEAT.." and I just thought it was a great name. Don't like it? Meh, I don't care. At least I LIKE IT so :-P | CHAZfromFOH | ||
Stuck With My Ex-wife | Well , It would probably be a nightmare. The first single should be "Returning Gifts" | Acidic36 | ||
The Studded Dildos | What could be worse, a person who would enjoy this sort of thing, or a person who would write and sing about it? | Dark One | ||
Students | Many are still trying to learn to be Gods of music. | NICKI | ||
Students on Y | There was a sign above the band room that was supposed to say students only, but it was missing the l | Cpt. Neeb | ||
The Stuff | I was thinking of british like band names one day and this popped up cause all they ever sing about is random stuff. | hap | ||
Stuff the Love You'll | Its from an old pizza hut commercial, where someone spoke backwards. When you say it it sounds risque. | Someone Else |
