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: | ||
The Sex Toys | It came from my pun of the 1975 Aerosmith album title, "Toys In The Attic." I thought such a band might have an album titled "Sex Toys In The Attic." | Renard | ||
Sex with A Minor | Not underage sex. Long A, not short A. A Minor -- as in the guitar chord. "Our music is so good, it's like sex with A minor." Probably couldn't get it printed, but your acronym could be SWAM. Or you could have the Aminor, with "minor" superscript. Your first album could be called "Statutory." | AJM | ||
Sexblind | Have you ever looked at someone and just couldn't figure out their gender? Then you suffered from sexblindness... I think their first hit will be "Androgynous". | Markus | ||
Sexchange | Okay me and my friend were bored thinking good band names and then my friend shouts: sexchange!!! I almost had an heartfailure for that and then I was like hey, that's cool! | Kanjoz | ||
Sexist Chainsaw Massacre | My brother's friend thought he called "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" this. | JeReMy | ||
Sexual Chainsaw Odyssey | got it out of a video one of those name generators a while back | hortonater | ||

The Sh*tty Beatles | It's from Wayne's World. It's not just a clever name | JeReMy | ||
Shabobkins | I was sitting in my computers class one day when I did a stupid typo which stated, "I live in Nebrakqak," and then I started laughing. Then, one day in my gym class I tought of the name "Shabobkins," don't ask me how! | Danny :-) | ||
The Shades | One day me and my dad were in his car and he pulled over to put on his sunglasses, and he said my future's so bright I gotta wear shades, and I thought that shades was a really cool word | Neil Harris | ||
Shades Of Black | It's not possible to get a SHADE of BLACK. Black is just one colour...there's no such thing as dark black and light black is grey. So it's pretty cool. | Jay | ||
Shades of Green | I was thinking of that song that goes, "I see shades of blue, white flowers too, and I think to myself what a wonderful life". Not my kind of music, but Shades of Green sounds like a pretty cool Punk name, I guess. | Thorne Bush | ||
Shadow Dragons | Well, you see, dragons are immortal. So I thought that maybe the band using this name would be "immortal". And when I saw the name in "Dragonlance", it was perfect. | Khellendros | ||
The Shadow Dudes | It comes from Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal. A character in the game calls himself "Shadow Dude" in one part of the game. | JeReMy | ||
Shadow of Certainty | The opposite of "shadow of doubt". Sounds like a solar eclipse or something? | RevengeFromMars YouTube | ||
Shadow of Fate | My friends and I were sitting around drunk recording ourselves and blurted out Shadow of Fate. While listening to the recording I said that Shadow of Fate would make a good band name. | Bass Playa | ||
Shadow Rider | A white guy that does black chicks, plain and simple. Also reminds me of those hooded horsemen from 'Lord of the Rings'. | Zak Attak | ||
Shadow Squad | It's a name given to a group of elite soldiers, whose primary function in the U. S ARMY are RECON missions. | DJ Erratic | ||
Shadow Thief | Pretty cool if u ask me. I came up with it when I sneaked up behind my friend and scared the crap out of her. She then said, "Jesus! You tip toe so quetly You could have stolen my Shadow!" It kinda stuck with me after that. | Mc_Kourpo | ||
Shadows In Red | we had to come up with a group name in one of our classes and i saw this hella cool picture of these guys' shadows. later on i had gone to my forensics science class and we were starting our murder investigator section and it clicked! shadows in red! | azrael | ||
Shadows in the Night (SIN) | i think its kool cuz it doesnt make too much sense. we made it cuz we wanted an abbreviation and it was SID (shadows in the dark) then we thought SIN was better so i thought of words that start with n like night and now thats wut we're called. yup we're real and we're from essex,ontario,canada | BKnight | ||
Shag Rock | I was looking at this map of the Americas and I noticed this island off the coast of Argentina that is U.K. territory called Shag Rock and I thought, "That'd be a tight name for a rock band!!!" | Joey Ramone | ||
Shag The Vicar | It's a common yet crude idiom curse from down about the lowlands. But it surely rings good for a band's name. | Gary Gray | ||
The Shaguettes | Very Austin Powers! | Dominic | ||
Shake Well | My friends and I were thinking of a cool name. Since I told them that I saw a commercial which consists of a make-up band which was called as, "Tear Here", then we decided to use Shake Well!! | yahoo | ||
Shake Well | Read the chocolate milk panel. | beebop | ||
Shake Your Spear At Shakespeare | I was on the funny lyrics page. I went to System of a Down. This was the first one I saw. Death metal band. | phamilto | ||
Shaken Not Stirred | Stylish, Bondish, for a band that might sound like Roxy Music or something. | Jehannes | ||
Shaker Revival | The Shakers were a religious group that could be compared to the Amish or the Mennonites. Except, they weren't allowed to have sex, even if they were married. Because of this, they pretty much died off in the early 1900's. They were known for two things: being kick a** carpenters, and performing bizzare "shaking rituals" to music (hence how they got their name). By this point, Shaker Revival should be pretty self explanitory. Shake to music, revival as in the rebirth of the religion, or revival as in the celebration sermons that are thrown. Everything adds up to an awesome band name. It's already taken though... | AphexTriplet | ||
Shakespearian Cattle Prod | Well, if there can be a "Culture Club", why can't there be a "Shakespearian Cattle Prod" ?? | Johnny D | ||
Shakesphere In Hell | cuz its shakespeare plays and sonets put 2 deathe metal music..... they are from new orleans | shelly | ||
Shallow Consolment | Sitting around thinking of band names. Heard console then heard shallow. Then BAM! | Swarm | ||
Shallow Disaster | i dont know how i thought of it, i was trying to think of cool names for my band and then i thought of this. i think it just sounds cool anyway | bfmvicky | ||
Shameless Self Promoters | Come on, it's addicting. Yeah, say it again. Yeah. | Yiggidy | ||
Shan't! | The British say funny things. | phamilto | ||
Shanghai Roundeye | it rhymes, but its contradictory...asian, but "roundeye" not asian. | Mike Lydic | ||
Shaniqa Don't Suffer | If you KNEW Shaniqa... | Drake Cahill | ||
Shank and the Flash Fried Cattle | We need a pro-beef band. | Dark One | ||
shank remedy | i just thought of it | weasel | ||
The Shape | A cool jam band name, what more can I say? It just came into my mind. | Juice | ||
The Shape Sisters | We were in a pub and my mum tried to say 'Shapeshifters' (they are a pop group) but said 'Shapesisters' by mistake. | sonikal | ||
Share The Pelt | It's what I used to call the "Share the wealth" cards in the Game of Life board game | Tristan | ||
Sharkspree | On fark.com, there was an article, and they said "don't know who Sharkspree is" meaning "they don't know who Shakespeare is". I thought that would be hilarious. | Lucy | ||
Sharkwave | This is cool because I wanted a band name thatincluded a shark, a long story, and my mate thought of Shockwave so after thoinking hard i fused them to come u with sharkwave. | Jay Mike | ||
Sharon Needles | I thing it would be a cool rock band name. I could make some hard rock sound with a band with this name. | Tom Reynolds | ||
Shart Week | My brother and I came up with a bunch of nicknames for each other involving the word "shart", a term for a wet fart, including this. This is also a misspelling of "Shark Week" I found on Lamebook, a website that compiles the worst and funniest of Facebook. | JeReMy | ||
Shartina Navratilova | My brother and I came up with a bunch of nicknames for each other involving the word "shart", a term for a wet fart, including this. | JeReMy | ||
Sharty McFly | My brother and I came up with a bunch of nicknames for each other involving the word "shart", a term for a wet fart, including this. | JeReMy | ||
Shatner's Bassoon | It was a mythical part of the body mentioned in an equally mythical anti-drug campaign on 'Brass Eye'. I always thought it would be a great name for a progressive rock band, along the lines of Spock's Beard or Darwin's Radio. | pickle | ||
Shatter Proof | I think it's cool because it is like shatter proof glass. It's got a heavy metal sound to it. | Kevin | ||
Shattered | I found the word out when I was playing hockey and broke my window. I never heard of a band with this title. And I thought that the word 'shattered' also relies on...maybe somebody's feelings or attitude. | shane | ||
Shattered Bliss | Just think it sounds cool | Chris | ||
Shattered Glass Rose | Saw Cowboy Bebop's fifth session "Ballad of Fallen Angels", and came up with the name. | Darius Cloud | ||
Shattered Iris | This is actually the name of the group of amateur artists that practice in my garage. I am the one that came up with this name, and, being the bassist, I happen to like it, even though it's rather bland, IMHO. It sounds painful, doesn't it? It doesn't exactly match the genre we play, as it would sound better for a band that plays a little heavier music (perhaps something like Fuel?). Anyway, I know this is supposed to be for made-up names only, but I think it's cool. Besides, other people have done this sort of thing! :) | Vicroc4 | ||
Shatterglass | The name sounds awesome, and it is the name of a book by Tamora Pierce. My friends and I are starting a band and I suggested Shatterglass. We still don't have a name, but we think we might use it. | Skate4Life | ||
Shaved Chizzle | Someone IMed me one time and their screenname was "Shaved Chizzle" and i thought it was funny yet immature. | Kelsey | ||
The Shawl Family | I was at a geneology class, and the teacher mentioned she was an ancestor of family that didn't exist anymore, called the Shaul family. Naturally, I thought she said "Shawl", which is a poncho/sweater worn by elderly women. | band name | ||
Shawties with 40's | Sounds like a female rap group. | RevengeFromMars YouTube | ||
Shazzam | I just started saying it one day... like a magical person or something. I tried to make a scary man disappear and it didnt work, so maybe band name is its destiny. | Sarah | ||
She Got Shot | I thought of a girl getting shot. | Chazm | ||
She Likes Cloth | There's this online cartoon called Teen Girl Squad, and it's supposed to be a spoof of a bunch of girls hanging out and "looking so good!" and in one of the episodes, one of the characters goes up to some guys who are saying, "Band name. Band name." so she says to them, "Uh, hi. I like music. And, um, cloth." So I thought, that would be a good band name! She Likes Cloth! | Mitch | ||
She Made Us Run! | Well, my friend was talking about how he hated cross country practice. I asked him why, and he said, "She makes us RUN!" Thus, that became our name. | Meg | ||
Shecky's Tool Room | The guy who is in charge of the tool room where I work is nicknamed "Shecky." | unstable bob | ||
ShellShocked | Well, i was watching Airplane and noticed the awesoely cool name shellshock at the hospital flashback. Shellshock is when people freak out after being in the war. | jarad | ||
Shennanigans | I got the name from grade 7. This guy started calling me Shennaigans. Shennanigans means funny and silly and that represents me and my band members. | Sheena | ||
The Sherwood Gypsies | I actually once thought this was a real group. That's from hearing a radio DJ announce what I thought was "That was Sherwood Gypsies' 'Tramps And Thieves'." What he must have really been saying was "That was Cher with ' Gypsies Tramps And Thieves'." | Angelica Drake | ||
Shift | I just was just staring at the key board and thought it would be different. | jess | ||
Shifted During Flight | As in, "Objects may have shifted during flight". It's for a band who's a little off. | Adam | ||
The Shifty McNuggets | Trademarks be damned I just like this word combination. Alternate Name: Ronald McDonald and the Shifty McNuggets | Nerrticus | ||
Shine Or Shade | It's cool cause of the negative and positive in one title. I heard it in a poem, and thought that would be cool band name with mixed members from the dark side and the positive side. | nick | ||
Shinola | As in "you don't know S*** from Shinola!" | mike lydic | ||
Shiny Cows | I was just thinking about things that were shiny, and I was also eating a hamburger, then WHAM! Shiny Cows popped in my head. Made me laugh SO hard. Hehehe, anyways, who has EVER seen a shiny cow, huh? Really, its like, " Here's some windex for your Mooer." Hehehehe. That's all. | Elizabeth | ||
Shiny Eyelashes | I though of this one when I looked at this one chick who had so much mascara and eyeshadow on that it looked like her eyelashes were shiny. not to mention she looked like she had gotten run over by a truck. but that's not the point. it's a cool chick/metal group name | punkstress | ||
The Shiny Mustards | We were talking about the luster of minerals in science and we had to identify the luster of sulfur; we said 'shiny, mustard' | meggo | ||
The Shiny Streak | This name is like an oxymoron. Streaks are not shiny, so it sound cool. | onopizzileizzle | ||
Ship High In Transit | "Ever wonder where the word "sh*t" comes from? Well, here it is. Certain types of manure used to be transported (as everything was back in the 1800's) by ship. Well, in dry form it weighs a lot less, but once water (at sea) hits it, it not only became heavier, but the process of fermentation begins again, with the byproduct being methane gas - and as the stuff was stored below deck in bundles you can see what could (and did) happen. Methane began to build up below deck and the first time someone came below at night with a lantern. BOOOOM! Several ships were destroyed in this manner before it was discovered what was happening. After that the bundles of manure where always stamped with the term "S.H.I.T." on them which meant to the sailors to "Ship High In Transit". In other words, high enough off the lower deck so that any water that came into the hold would not touch this volatile cargo and start the production of methane." I don't know how true this is, but nevertheless it would still make a cool name for a band IMO. | Mike | ||
Shiroi Kaze | This is the name of a band in my comic. I was watching Gravitation and in the opening theme for the show they say shiroi kaze, which means white wind. I think names in Japanese are kewl | Tenshi | ||
Shirt Bricks | A Your Grammar Sucks version of the phrase "sh*t bricks" | JeReMy | ||
Shirt, Shoes, & Service | If anyone wnts to boo this band with style, they can go "No shirt, no shoes, no service!" | Tejayes | ||
Shlappy | First thing that came to mind, Enjoy? | Tonie | ||
Shmeckaldorff | I think this name just spells like rainbow sherbet ice cream. | shane | ||
Shmingle Pingle | It's cool because if you're in a joke band. My little bro came up with shmingle and pingle rhymes so I thought it would be cool. It doesn't mean anything. | Dark lord dragon slayer | ||
Shmorvenhoffen | I just came up with it. I was thinking of a password for something online and it couldn't be based on a word in the dictionary. So I thought, "Why not 'Shmorvenhoffen'?" | Cecilia | ||
Shnoobs | I don't know why i like this. It's a sound effect that i use a lot. Sounds better if you say it as if you're falling off a cliff. | Charlie's Angel | ||
Shock and Awe | The code name for the intimidation tactics the USA employs against terrorists in Afghanistan and Iraq. After it was first used in the media, it has achieved widespread recognition. Since a lot of bands enjoy naming themselves after famous and controversial things, I'd say "Shock and Awe" is right up their alley. | CC | ||
Shock Johnson | I was in this band years ago. No one using the name now. I think it was pretty cool. Has nothing to do with electricity or male body parts. | Stevie M | ||
Shock Mod | It was a mod for a weapon on a video game I played. | asyanica | ||
Shock Therapy | One of the odder names left untaken by Rockers everywhere. Someone please use this. | G | ||
SHOCK'd | It means Seriously Hooked On Christ the King. The 'd has no meaning, we just thought it sounded better than SHOCK. Great for a Christian Rock band. | Christian Rocker | ||
Shoe Event Horizon | It's something mentioned in the Hitchhiker's Trilogy (Restuarant, I think, along with the radio serial), and it just plain sounds cool. | Jill | ||
shoe lace | its cool cos i was making fun of my little cuz that she likes this pop band (dont know wat its called)and i was trying to guess the name of them.this name is good for a metal band or a satanic thingymajiger. | deryck whibley | ||
Shogun Wedding | The Japanese equivalent of "shotgun wedding"? | RevengeFromMars YouTube | ||
Shooma Rhythm | Whatever "Shooma" would be! | Future Backer | ||
Shoot, The Ladder | A bit of fun off the old "Chutes and Ladders" kids' board game. When someone walks under a ladder and bad luck happens, he/she would exclaim, "Shoot, the ladder." | J.C. | ||
ShoreLines End | John Johns |
