Names -> Cool Band Names -> S, Page 12
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: | ||
| Stuff, Etc. | It would be a shortcut to listing a few items and et cetera. (Like: Guitar, bass, etc.) | Indy | ||
| Stump Grinder | I heard this as an idea for a heavy rock band name | Richard Houghton | ||
| Stumpinghame | It implies heavy rock (IMHO). It is the name of an imaginary town were only giants live. Found in an old childrens book. | Les | ||
| Stun-Deal | I went to Scarborough, in England (where I live) and my mate was telling me about some wall he saw. On the wall was written as graffiti, "Stun-Deal". Next to that was "Tony Wall". So he told me he could imagine this white Welsh rapper calls himself 'Stun-Deal', and who's manager was Tony Wall. They both met up in Scarborough, had a few geographical albums out in the 80's and are now planning a return concert in York City's castle walls... as I said, it wasn't ME who saw and said all this! I'm just repeating what my mate said! And anyway, after hearing this stupid thing so much I could imagine... STUN-DEAL! | Auto2112mbe | ||
| Stunguns | Read it backwards, prett kewl huh? But this would sound like a Bloodhound Gang-like band. Their first single would be "Your Schwartz is Longer than Myne". | S.T.G. | ||
| stuNgunS | When it's backwards it reads SNUGNUTS... Here's one of their singles "Don't **** with My Stunguns" | S.T.G. | ||
| Stunk and Droned | I was high and i was trying to say, "Hey Alex, let's get drunk and stoned tomarrow", but I said stunk and droned instead. | Patrick A. | ||
| Stupid | Because girl fans will text at their concerts "I'm with Stupid". | Lisa Vanderplump | ||
| Stupid And Liking It | I think that every teen can relate to not being smart and not giving a s***! | KIDD | ||
| Stupid Bounces | On TruTV Presents World's Dumbest..., comedian Brad Loekle said "We all know that hope floats, but now we know that stupid bounces" | JeReMy | ||
| Stupid French FROG! | My friend told me that this is a line that Ashton Cutcher said in Just Married | Mack the Knife | ||
| Stupid Like You | Our mate thought it up, visit www.stupidlikeyou.gq.nu, both insulting and comical, especially when people ask us what our band is called. "its stupid.....like you..." | Ben M | ||
| Stupid Nicknames | Me and my friends always had stupid nicknames for eachother like foods or animals ect.... so stupid nicknames are popular with my group of friends. | kat | ||
| Stupid On Purpose | It's when you deliberately say something stupid in order to bug another person or group of people. Say enough stupid things and they'll accuse you of being "stupid on purpose". | Opie M. | ||
| Stupidiot | A combination of "stupid" and "idiot" | Lefty Lucy | ||
| Stupids With Flareguns | It's a line from Smoke On The Water... | G | ||
| Stussy | It was on my teacher's t-shirt, and we made fun of it because it sounded dirty. | karie holst | ||
| Stutter on 9 | We have a girl in our band from each year level but two from year 9 which stuffed up our original name of countdown. One of the girls said "It doesn't work unless u have a stutter" so hence our new name! | Me | ||
| Stutterfly | I have had this idea of a really cool band name since i was a kid. My favorite toy was a Spiderman doll. I would play with it all the time. Stutterfly always reminds me of my favorite doll because he could only catch "flys that stuttered" so they were stutter flies. Therefore stutterfly. | Matt | ||
| Subduction | You cant get a better name than this. It is so simple and right to the point (like two lovers with head colds.) | PHIL | ||
| Subject to Change | look, all the people on this site that didn't enter a name have "Subject to Change" listed as their name on the right side. Sounds kinda cool | Devin | ||
| Subject to Search | Bubs | |||
| The Subjects | I looked at a notebook, and (of course) it said 'subject'. So I thought it would be pretty cool. | Joe joe_richey98@yahoo.com | ||
| SubLight | I was sitting here, reading the band names, and I wondered why no one had come up with it. Also, I was reading a Sci-Fi novel recently. :) I can imagine this being some band in the future, maybe Matchbox Twenty-ish. I can also imagine their first album: "Warp Factor Ten" Songs like "Beam". :) Actually, I don't know what I was thinking. | Vicroc4 | ||
| Subliminal Messages | At least they admit that they have hidden messages in their music ! Most likely it would be for a punk rock band-- maybe EMO or something! | Pigertaws | ||
| Submarine Suffusion | I was talking with my friends about various things, including the Beatles and Douglas Adams. Someone said "suffusion of yellow" just as someone else said, "yellow submarine". I said, "A suffusion of yellow submarines?" Sounds ska or techno or something. | Cessi | ||
| The Submissions | I got it from this site, actually. | eZ | ||
| Submissions | I was gonna add a name, and as I scrolled down I saw the word 'Submissions'. I added 'Submissions' instead of some other s*** name I was thinking of. | Someone named D | ||
| Submit | Everytime you're on a computer and fill something out, then you hit submit. Maybe we should just "Submit" to the music. | Captain Beefheart | ||
| Submurgical | It's a nickname for my cat, Smurge.. actually now that I think of it, it sounds like an adjective in a British fantasy novel.. Harry Potter and the Submergical Bellfrazzleton. | Cel-Chan | ||
| Subnova | for a dance /trance band. we were going to use iit then we converted to rock | biill | ||
| Subsideon | i found out about this rock called obsidian so i basically came up up with this, i was gonna use it for my band but they thought it sounded like a terroist company. So you can have it | taz | ||
| Subspeed | In 1996 we wanted 'sub' to be in our name. Tried all variations of the name, but ended up as 'Grace Kelly'. Then in October 2000, Seb, the guitar player, remembered one of the names and he just said 'Subspeed'. We all said 'Yeah, that's the one!'. | Fred | ||
| Substantial Penalty for Early Withdrawal | Band practiced in a Savings and Loan | Tom | ||
| Subterfuge | I think its cool by the way itsounds! I got the name by looking in a dictionary for submerse. Then I came across subterfuge, which means to disguise and trick. So after discovering I thought about it being my bans name. | Fabian Franco | ||
| Subtitles In Korean | The end of a joke in an episode of "MASH." | G | ||
| Suburban Devil's Prayer | its cool cuz i came up withit standing out side of a church when i saw a suburban propane truck | chad (chadalac) | ||
| Suburban Sellouts | you can't really complain if they sellout cuz they really don't care | Brian Green | ||
| Suburban Steryotype | It refers to the brattiest kind of people. We were standing on the corner of a street, and we were watching a bunch of people in our grade socializing in the Starbucks across the street. We were commenting on how gay preppies in the suburbs act, so we named our band after them as a sort of thank you for giving us the opportunities to make fun of them. | snowburton | ||
| The Subwoofers | subwoofers make big noise. huge bass ones. WOOHOO!!!!!! | cabby | ||
| Subzero Heatwaving | Me and a friend were brainstorming about band names, and he suggested Subzero and Heatwave. I just combined the two. | SamVK | ||
| Subzero Hero Or Sub0hero | I was playing pong with my bassist and thinking of names, this came to me and it to me is like a mainstream rock or pop name | Jarvi | ||
| Succesfully Failing | Its cool cuz look at it . . . IT IS!!! you cant get anymore oxy moronic than that, Even if your like my friend and suck at everything, he doesnt suck at failing so hes doing that pretty dam succesfully | Darrin | ||
| Success of the Fire | it sounds cool makes sense and my band doesnt want to use it. i dont remember how i thought of it. | nate | ||
| Succubus | The female equivalent of Incubus...literally...we need more alternative chik bands anyway. | coughing loudly | ||
| Succubus Rape Party | Thought of it why'll play the Witcher 3 (game has succubi in it) and thought it was funny because it sounds politically incorrect | kbm | ||
| Sucessful Failure | i saw a sign with Sucess right above Failure and i thought it sounded cool | Amanda | ||
| Such As Life | Well yeah it's kinda like, Thats life! Kinda kool I thought!?!? | Perfectly Punk | ||
| Sucked in Cahoots | It's a funny turn of phrase, something in everyone's experience. | Kim | ||
| Sucker Munkie | Based on the "See, Hear and Speak No Evil" monkeys. | Se7endaze | ||
| Sucking On The Toilet Paper | Last night I had a dream in which I heard a song playing. It's only lyrics that I remember were "Sucking on the toilet paper" repeated over and over. I got to thinking -- any band that would sing that song might just as well name themselves for it! | Nicole Velocin | ||
| SuCuBuS | My band mates (ol gurlz) and I, decided to make a band. We thought about SuCuBuS, meaning "a lady ghost rapes a live guy". Sound incredible and totally COOL. SuCuBuS is the opposite of inCuBuS!! | YoJi09 | ||
| Sudden Death | I was playing Halo on X-box live and someone kept on sniping me, hence the name Sudden Death. it'll probobly work for emo, punk, and rock bands | Linkin Park Fan | ||
| Sudden Impact | Our band was performing for the first time. At the time we didn't have a name. We just called ourselves Untitled. But we knew we had to get a name quick, seeing as we are the only year 7 going on year 8 students in a band at our school for 16 years. After our performance, our school found us really good and had a standing ovation. Not like a little clap, it was enormous. We even had to do an encore (no joke). When we got back to our lockers we were told we made a huge impact by our friends. Then we all decided on the spot it could have to do with our name. And seeing as no one had heard of us before (it was our first show), it was sudden. So Sudden Impact. | Matt | ||
| Sudden Silence | I was reading names on this page for ideas for names for my own band and some had silent in them and some had sudden in them. So I was mixing name together and this one came up. I think its sounds pretty good just not right for the band I'm making. This name sounds more Death Metal but still. | Drummerchick | ||
| Suddenly Sodomy | Sort of a take-off on the North American sitcom "Suddenly Susan." | SMSeaton | ||
| Sudo Fsck | A Linux twist. Just replace the s in Fsck. | Ted Stone | ||
| Sue Me | While me and the other members of my band were trying to come up with a band name we kept wanting to use a copyrighted phrase but we feared we'd get sued for useing it without permission so we came up with Sue Me because that was what we would say to the people who copyrighted the phrases if the told us not to use it. THE END | Jessika | ||
| Suffering In Silence | It's just how I feel... so I just thought it'd be cool | Molliepop:) | ||
| Sugar Candy | I came up with it for a club name that my ex best friend and i had and we had the nicknames sugar and candy so sugar candy just stuck in my head | Billie | ||
| Sugar Foot | It´s Woody the woodpecker´s horse !! that´s my old band´s name, only it was in portuguese P頤e Pano !! that´s Sugar Foot´s name here in Brazil | Heck | ||
| Sugar Free Delinquents | My friend Angela and I are thinking up names for our band, and we both looooove sugar. So, we thought of making something about how sugar free stuff is bad. And here it is! (This name was not chosen.) | Chloe | ||
| Sugar Free Pixie Stix | Me and my freind wre bored and this is a cool one we came up with. (RPM) [Ed.'s note: Pixie Stix are virtually flavored sugar.] | Robert | ||
| Sugar Lumps & Honey | This was from an old "Peanuts" strip where Lucy got violently ill when Linus told her what he was eating. He also said, "They're good with cinnamon, too!" | cartoon cartoon | ||
| sugareggs | my friend intended to name their band with this. he was doing the groceries when he noticed one of the aisle plates read: "Sugar / Eggs." | boxfighter | ||
| Suicidal Chicken | Well seriously... How cool would a suicidal chicken be?! Can't say I've ever seen that before. | Courtney | ||
| Suicidal Glee Club | It's one of the best names I ever heard! I saw it posted somewhere over ten years ago and it's still not taken! I'd use it but it would go against my band's image. I've been tempted to use it but decided I never will. I think some talented band should use it! | Josh | ||
| The Suicidal Kings | We have an awesome band name because if you know poker, you know that the king of hearts is a dangerous card. Plus, it just sounds cool. | Ro | ||
| Suicidal Miniature Elephants | me and my sister were fooling around and made up this little elephant that was only, like, six inches tall, and blamed all that was wrong in the world on himself. the phrase just sounds cool. | kim ji | ||
| Suicidal Raindeers | Yes Name | |||
| Suicidal Spider Monkey | Well, just think about it.. a depressed monkey trying to commit suicide. How cool is that! I just put a couple of word together | Nathan Cartwright | ||
| Suicidal Survival | my best friend told me that a woman on her street tried to commit suicide,but ended up staying alive.so one day at school she told me and im all like'SO LIKE A SUICIDAL SURVIVAL??'and then she said''THE NAME OF THE BAND!!!WE CAN CALL IT SUICIDAL SURVIVAL''!!! | Raquel Trejo | ||
| 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 | ||
| Suicide Crush | A mixture of several drinks is called a suicide. So a suicide Crush would mix all the flavors of Crush sodas. | Opie M. | ||
| 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 | ||
| Suicide Squirrel Commando | Overhead someone complaining about squirrels chewing on his telephone wires and the mission impossible music started playing in my head. | PSND | ||
| 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 | ||
| Sullen Void | Sounds like an emo band. Also sounds like "null and void". | RevengeFromMars YouTube | ||
| The Sulligents | Sulligent is the name of a town in Alabama. I'd heard of it a long time before looking up the origin of its name. Then I found out it is named for two railroad officials, named Sullivan and Sargeant. It had always sounded to me like some word my mother might have applied to me as a child. Like she might have said, "Why are you in such a sulligent mood? Be pleasant!" | D. Melody Dole, MD | ||
| 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 | ||
| Sunburnt Shoulders | it sounds like a hippie band or something | Steven | ||
| 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 | ||
| Sunken Clouds | I'm not entirely sure. Sweet sounding name for rock or pop band! | Zoobooshi |
