Names -> Cool Band Names -> S, Page 6
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.

I tried to use it for a band i had with my friends, but we came up with something better. | Mairzy | ||
| six-A-side | All the "bad" that goes with Metal. I love metal just some of the lyrics are related to underground. the three 6's being the mark of the beast.

| Six-Pack Of Monkeys | Because everyone knows that a single barrel is never enough. | Josh Z | ||
| Sixon Gabe | Sixon Gabe is said Six ON Gabe. The story behind the name...One day me and my cousin were waiting in line at this real high class restaurant and the waitress was calling the names for the people waiting for a table. Well, instead of saying "Six for Gabe" she accidently said "Six on Gabe!" It was really embarassing for her but ever since it's stuck around. | M-Chan | ||
| Sixth Sacrifice | Well there are six of us in the band....and we kinda feel like we have sacrificed alot in life to get to this point of togetherness....so sixth sacrifice just sounded right. | Shaggy | ||

| Ska-Man-Do | (Pronounce it like the island Kat-Man-Do) | Will Griffith | ||
| Skag | It is a street name weed. | Chokex | ||

| Skeetzer | I live where there are ALOT of mosquitos around, and one day I accidentally sneezed while saying 'I hate these stupid mosquiots!' & mosquitos came out as skeetzers. I have no clue how but then again, you'd have to know me to understand me. | K-Lee | ||
| Skeleton Key | I dunno. It just sounds cool. One night I was looking at a necklace I had just bought at Hot Topic, and then I watched Headbanger's Ball for a little while. I wanted to get a band together after that, and I remembered the necklace, so I called it Skeleton Key (The band only had one practice, and only Tim, our bass, showed up. Coincidentally, he has no idea how to play the bass guitar, and after about half an hour of playing with the echo function on the microphone, we got bored and watched Bruce Almighty. Great movie!).

| skeptic_self | Everyone has doubts. Whether its their looks, own fears, or life in general. Thus you are skeptical...skeptic_self | deafmute | ||
| Skeptik Slash | I just like it, its pretty damn kewl if you ask me. It might be a name for people who hate sceptics and just wanna slash 'em | Golden | ||
| Sketchy Trash Barrel | This is what my friend's band almost called themselves. It was actually a phrase that we heard some random bum yelling out in the street. I think it's some kind of ghetto diss... "you sketchy trash barrel!!!" | bill markson | ||
| Skid Mark and the Browntones | It’s funny! | Cornholerocknroll | ||
| Skinned rabbits and a mouth full of tea-bags... | Actually, this is not really a new name, but it´s up for grabs as our band failed to produce anything, not even PUNK - which was all the rage at the time - I think Tim ( the leader ) still has 499 Demo Tapes in his garage ! | muck otten | ||
| Skip's Scramble | From an episode of "Arrested Development". The Skip's Scramble is an item at Skip Church's Bistro which contains everything on the menu in one dish. (P.S: Do not order the Skip's Scramble.) | Brian Kelly | ||

| skull and cross stones | You know those headstones that are crosses? Cross stones. Plus it sounds like skull and cross bones. | nire | ||
| Skull Splitter | Around the year 1,000 AD, there lived Thorfinn Hausakluif (A/K/A Skull Splitter) who was the 7th Viking Earl of Orkney, a small group of islands off the northern tip of Scotland. It was a place shrouded in magic and mystery. But, hey, I just thought it sounded real cool . . . | Mr.Ree | ||
| SKULLDOGS | it sounds like an scremo band name | Bsass player for an unknown band name | ||

| The Sky Dreams a Thousand Insecurities | I was writing poems on my computer, and I put the titles together (in the order they were printed) and it actually made a (weird) sentence, which would be The Sky, Dreams, A Thousand, Insecurities. | ferret butthole liquid | ||
| Sky Gobblin' | An alternate take on what I thought I heard my cousin once say. Back in the days when televisions had vertical and horizontal holds, the picture could go distorted sideways obliquely form the horizontal hold being not well adjusted. When that condition happened I would hear my younger cousin, before he could talk plain, say that the TV was "sky goblin" or perhaps "sky gobblin' ". I wondered where such an expression came from. My father told me back then that my cousin was probably trying to say "sigoglin" or "sigodlin", the first syllable sounding like "sigh" in either case, two among of several variants on an expression for anything skewed from a normally expected right angle or rectangular shape. He mentioned other colloquialisms for the same meaning, including "antigoglin", "antigodlin", and "siwhickerin", the first syllable again sounding like "sigh" in the last example. This hearing of my cousin's probable mispronunciation now strikes me as another phrase with potential as a band name. | D. Melody Dole, MD | ||

| Sleeper/Stagger | There are two seperate names there. First one I came up with cos I was sleeping and I had a nightmare and I woke up and thought "whoa, what a good name for a heavy metal band". I was gonna call my band that but they decided on Forbidden Angels. (another cool name but it's taken.) Second one was at Karate when our Sensei asked us to stagger our lines, which meant zig zag them. I thought first of zig zag, but Stagger is a better one. I wasn't sure which one to put down, so I decided to put them both down. | Harry the Goldfish from Hell | ||
