Names -> Cool Band Names -> S, Page 8

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.

The Social Rejects		Me and my band member are the unpopular ones in school and we just came up with it		Justin
Social Suicide		All my friends and I in our "band" wear like pinks, and blacks, and just messed up stuff. So its kind of like mixing a prep, a goth, and jock, and everything else. It's kind of like a social suicide...hence the name.		kyla
Social with the anti-social		I was listening in on a group of ten or so people talk about how they are so anti-social. Well they are sitting in a big group talking with a bunch of friends, doesn't seem very anti social to me. So this name goes out to you anti-socials		Killer panda
Socially Acceptable		this is the name of my band. it is cool because we are playing tons of clubs and it is cool to have people call and ask us to ply with them or at a club.		geoff

Socken		It's the name of my band @ skool. It means 'sock' in German.		Paul M
Socks Vital		Because, no matter how hard you try to convince yourselves otherwise, they are, aren't they? An acquaintance, Alison Berry, came up with this one in about 1993 and I've always remembered it, even though we're no longer in touch.		Jimbob
The Sofa Killers		My friend and I were out shopping one day. We sat down on a bench to have a drink, and some random man came behind us and shouted out "Sofa killers!" It was so funny and embarrasing. I think this would be a great name for a rock band.		amy lou
Sofa King Retarded		Lol... me and my drummer thought it was funny....P*ss people off by saying it fast		Bob
Sofa Kings		My friend and I used this for a while because we were so good at being lazy.		quik

The Sogs		Basically it came up whilst chatting to a friend on msn he mis-spelled song and wrote sogs instead then he said he wanted to start a band so i suggested the sogs		Rachel

Solar Rabbit		We were given a worksheet in my eighth grade science class one time, and one of the questions had a bunch of diagrams with arrows and animals, and said, "Which diagram shows the correct path of the transfer of energy?" or something like that. One of the diagrams had an arrow going from the sun to a rabbit, and I thought, "Hey, neat, solar rabbit!" Also can be considered a tribute to the song "Atomic Dog" by some dude whose name I can't remember.		Cessi
Soldier Jock		My drummer is an electronics repair Tech Sargent in the Airforce. While he was away in Baghdad the keyboard player would keep refereng to the drummer as Soldier Jock and the name just took off.		7String

Soma		It's the name for the drug that everyone takes in the novel "Brave New World" written by Aldous Huxley. It's a mix of cocaine, heroin, etc. Basically, it's a really good pill.		Ahmead Bakir
Some Dead Guys		This is actually our band name at the time. We thought it would be cool to hear the radio dj say something like, "here's song title by Some Dead Guys." Plus it yields for some cool album names like "Killed to Death" "Pushing Up Daisies" and, this is totally unrelated, "Gyration Station."		Fredo
Some Loud Teenagers		That's what they are.		Lori Blonde
Some Young Guy		Its cool because it sounds Korean but its not. I thought of it after hearing a funny joke.		Will Schildknecht
Somebody Popular		Well.....there's this one pretty sweet song called Vindicated and I didn't really know who sang it. So.....i kinda asked mi dad who sang it annd he said "somebody popular" and i really thought that was the person who sang it. Turns out, Dashboared Confessional sings it and when the song came on the radio, i was like "I know who sings this, they're called Somebody Popular!" My friend looked at me and was like..."No it's Dashboared Confessional, u retard!" and so, i still thought that it was a pretty sweet name and that's kinda y i just typed all of this...		Taylor
Someone Else's Cumberbund		pondering why girls and guys have to match at prom. obvious couples shouldn't have to share the same color, match someone else's cumberbund!		stacy
Something Appalling		It's a lyric from "Comedy Tonight" from the musical " A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum". Another death metal band that would have Zero Mostel spinning in his grave.		Lance Crackers
Something Better		My friend's band has no good name. Infact, a crappy name. So I said they should be something better. Which they're not.		The Dork Matt
Something For The Weekend		coz that's why the band started, as something to do for the weekend. also for the sexual undercurrent. the idea was to give away free condoms at our concerts and get sponsored for it ...but as was realistically expected, this never came to be.		Dominik Brotherton
Something Obscene		That's what i would name my band... if i had a band and any musical talent, or not!		Kerri
Something Offbeat		It used to be our band name. Sometimes, when we were practicing, one of us would go off beat. When one person would match someone else, we'd all start to fall offbeat, good for an alternative or punk band		XstillzX
Something Original		i was thinking of a band name and i though "i need something original" then i realised that it sounded cool		james
Something Strange		Well, every time someone asks me what the name of my band is, I've always been in a band with a really lame name. So, I usually just say "It's something strange". And they're like "C'mon! Tell me!"... So, I decided to name the next band I'm in "Something Strange" so when they ask me, it'll go down like this: Me: I'm in a band. Person: What's your band named? Me: Something Strange Person: Yeah, but what's the name. Me: SOMETHING STRANGE! Person: Just tell me the frickin' name! Me: It's Something Strange!!!!! Person: Fine, don't tell me.... I don't even care anyway.		Thrasher
Something Stupid		Like many of the names on this list, this is something stupid, but it would appear as though the band didnt bother to come up with "something stupid" and used it as their name		Yes I Am
Something To Do With A Duck		Me and some mates were going to a local gig, and one of them wastrying to remember the groups that were playing, one of which was called strange duck, she couldnt remember the name so simply came out with: something to do with a duck and we all loved it...		Faelfain
Sometimes Never		Have you ever had to do a stupid thing around the house and your mom would always ask you if you finished or not? You would reply I'll do it sometime today but you really meant never so that's where sometime never comes in and it sounds kinda awesome!		Music4life
Somus Taf		Becaus backwards it spells 'Fat Sumos', and everything is to do with Japanese wrestling these days.		ed Davis
Sonagi		means rain in korean. could work for a rock band		soomin
Songmaker's (silent) cry		In one of my favourite and saddest Nightwish songs "Dead Boys Poem" there is a line in which Songmaker's cry can be found. I think it would be a good name for bands with similar but more gentle music as Nightwish.		Cynthia Cardui
Songs for Gay Dogs		It was an album from the early 1960's (back when "gay" meant "happy").		JeReMy
Sonic Death Monkeys		i heard jack black say it in john cusack movie...dont remember the title		Realm_of_satan
Sonic Fire		My friend and I were trying to come up with a band name. I have an old set of comic books: "Sonic the Hedgehog" and "Fantastic 4" (the one with the Human Torch on the side) So I put the 2 together. Kinda lame, but hey, you never know what people are looking for.		Fortified4ever
Sonic Fuse		just sounds nice nice if it was a rock band that dabbles in other genres..smiley face!		metal daisy
Sonic Horizons		Is that not just cool? That's our band's current name. I was reading a physics book and there was a thing called a sonic horizon, kind of like a black hole's 'event horizon', but anyways, I thought it sounded really cool. We take 'Sonic', being sound, and Horizons, being like a limit or the end, and slap um together and get, "The limits and boundaries of sound which we must overcome"		The Shocker
Sonic Superslide		Taken from a song by The Go Gos. It's a great name for a band. Their music would be catchy, uptempo, melodic, upbeat and fun. They would also do some 80s style pop power ballads. The kind that build to a climax in the middle and then come down at the end and are very melodic and touching. Their power ballads would be quite memorable.		Edward
Sonix Boom		I came up with this name because I like rockin' video game music like that of the nw sonic games, I rest my case. I think it's a cool name because of all the misspellings in band names.		Joshua
Sons Of Eden				Peter
Sons Of Kane		Because me and my mates were thinking of a band name. I thought of the wrestler Kane, and then thought that Sons of Kane was a cool idea.		chris
Sons of Play		This name kind of gives you the feeling: these boys really work hard and don't do it just for the money...after all...it's a family thing.		ivorin
Soon, Yet Zen		Named after the famous Chinese guy Sun Yat Sen.		J.C.
sooner not later		we are still young but we wana hit it big soon key word there soon a in sooner not later PEACE IM OUTA HERE		tim k

Sophie's Gravitas		I read it in a book. it goes something like "She was as intelligent, and beautiful. But none of Sophie's gravitas."		Alpha
Sopwith Camel-Toe		Yeah- we're talking "wing span" here! Great band from the '60's, now fronted by Alanis Morisette		princejellyfish
Sordid Evil		I was playing that game 'resident evil', then I just replaced resident with sordid and thought that would be a cool heavy metal band name.		50 cent rocks
The Sore Feasons		I was just looking at the Band Spoonerisms page on amiright, and thought this one (a spoonerism of The Four Seasons) would be cool. A feason might be an alternative name for feet.		In Deer O' Ghandi
Sorely Mistaken		sounds cool enough		deadeye
Sorrowful Songs Of The Weeping Willow		While watching weeping willow limbs blowing in the wind, the wind made a whistling a very sad but deep whistle like it was singing a lullaby.		Trent
SOS		Well, all bands drift apart sometime so SOS means help. So, when their going through this time it's like help.		s.s
Soul Nite		My friend and I were coming up with band names and she came up with this one, perhaps for Evanescence-like music. The debut album would be called "Life and Death" and half the cover would be live things (butterfly, girl's face) and the other half, dead things (fallen leaves, skull).		you
Soul Submission		Well me and my friend are both interested with death and its a cool hard rock name.		ADHD
Soul Terror		It's from a Facebook post to find your "mysterious hooded figure name". My brother's friend (the same one from Sexist Chainsaw Massacre) got the name "Soul Terror"		JeReMy
Soul Therapists		Instead of The Soul Rapists, which was submitted to Stupid Band Names		JeReMy
Soul Through A Straw		It was from a cartoon I saw like a year ago. Can't remember anything but that.		GlamRockNinjaLord
Souldrop		It's the name of a small town somewhere in the Anglian region of England - I spotted it on a road sign and thought it was more suited to a TLC-type group than a town... there're some pretty interesting town/city names out there but none so far that I think are more suited to a band than this one		miss bad example
Soulever		Soulever means "to lift or peel back" in Spanish. I read it on the label on a pack of tissues encased in plastic wrapping. And the rest was history.		Tack
SoulJahs		Well, I got the name from P.O.D. It's a word they use a lot and I thought that it would be a cool name for a band. Now my band uses it. They spelling is cool because it catches your eye, and it helps people remember the name.		Tyler
Soulless Survivor		Sometimes people who survive turn out to be total jerks.		RevengeFromMars YouTube
The Souls Of Black Folk		taken from W.E.B DuBois' book		U3

The Sound of the Baskervilles		Just sounds cool. [Ed. note: Sherlock Holmes would've loved it.]		...
Sound Zypher		it just popped into my head		Gman

The Sour Krauts		A great name for a band of all germans		wonka bar
Sour Love		Because I was on a date and eating a sour candy as soon as my girl friend dumped me!		Robert< Robert Bob The 5th

The Southern Avenger(s)		This name is NOT for YANKEES! In my hometown, we have this awesome radio station and everyday, The Southern Avenger comes and does his controversial commentaries on the radio. He is so awesome and he believes that the turnout of the Civil War was unfair (GO REBELS!).		Ezra
Southern Creeper		It just fits		mark
Southern Tresspass		This is for someone who plays Southern Rock or Country music. If I heard this name, I would check it out. Tresspass, you know what that means. Its just two cool names put together.		Tonya
Soviet Onions		We're doing Soviet Russia in History. My history teacher looks like an onion. Therefore, one equals three.		Tammy the Boy
Soylent Spring		A cross between "Silent Spring" (a 1962 book about environmental damage from pesticides) and "Soylent Green" (1973 movie about using people as food). (Ed: Maybe the first movie led to the second.)		RevengeFromMars YouTube
