Names -> Cool Band Names -> S, Page 1
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.

| S.T.E.P. Up | The band and I were trying to find a name and we tryed puting all of the first letters of are name in there. "S.T.E.P." stands for Stephanie, Tyler, Ester, and Peter. Try just taking the first letter of each name and making a word out of it. | Tyler | ||

| Sabog | It's my cousins' last name. A good name for a soft rock band. | Rachel | ||

| Sabu Points at Pigeons | Sabu is a wrestler and he does this entrance taunt by pointing up at the sky to honour the original shiek (another wrestler), but apparently, one night before he started using this a a tribute, he was coming into the ring to wrestle a match, and he saw a pigeon on the ceiling and so he wanted to shoe the referee so he pointed at it. | hamp | ||

| Sacrafice | I think its cool because my band is a christian band and We want to be sacrafices for God because we love Him soo much. God gave me this dream that we'd be famous and He gave me this name so I really have to thank God. One Day I will be a famous singer and actress for the Lord Jesus Christ. | Carol Ann | ||
| The Sacraments | I've always liked this name. It's the album name of the new Lamb of God cd, so it sounds cool and my band liked it. | corey | ||
| Sacred Steak | Well, cows here in America get eaten, even if they are sacred in some places. | GlamRockNinjaLord | ||
| The Sacrificial Lambs | What they say about people who are pawns or scapegoats. They are figuratively being led to slaughter. Sad, but not so tragic once you know the origin. | Mark Mywerd | ||

| Sad Angry Babies | A good name for one of those new indie pop bands, I got this name from taking a picture of my infant nephew while he was wailing, taking his open eyes from another picture and pasting them over his closed ones.

| Sadukiii | I got it from the game "Saduko" and a good Green Day album 'Dookie', So I just put them together. | Llama man 40000000000000 | ||
| Safe to Say | I think it's safe to say that would be a good name for whatever kind of band... and there's no story behind this. It thought it up through pure genius.. even SAFE TO STAY would be good... actually those might be band names already. Either way, they are original to me. | Ralph Nader | ||
| Safety Amongst Chimps | I came up with this back in high school when I felt alienated and alone. I noticed that whenever I felt like straying from the status quo, I would be dragged down by the same people I was trying to avoid. The only time I was not harassed was when I did not stand out from the other "Chimps". Thus the band name safety amongst chimps. | Ryan R. | ||
| Safety In Numbers | Mum and I were in the car going shopping and we were talking about her old days when she danced at discos, and she said, "well, there's definitely safety in numbers!!' and I was like, cool, that makes an awesome band name!! I can imagine it for rock or pop punk or something. | rachelle | ||

| Sailor Thea and the Apple Chomps | Let's just say, my silly math teacher had a thing for apples. | Joana | ||
| Saint Genevieve and the Sexy Opossums | 1. Saint Genevieve - I was named after her 2. Opossums - my friend was running about claiming that he had accomplished several feats that only doable by opossoms; after which he claimed that he was, indeed, an opossum. 3. I was going for the whole 'name and the adjective blanks' structure for a band, so I just threw in 'sexy' for the hell of it. | genny | ||
| Saint Valiant | It's the saint of the brave, how cool would that be? Christian Punk band, maybe. | sarcastik | ||
| Saint Vincent's and the Grenadines | it is a caribbean island nation, i thought it sounded cool and sort a like a band | elle | ||
| Saki Trip | Phrase coined by my mates after a particularly heavy night in a Japanese restaurant; now used when anyone gets trashed on something they're not used to. I know "saki" is spelled wrong but it looks cooler this way. | Kristof | ||
| Salad Cream | Well one day i was struggling over a band name and thought the best kind would be a really random one. So i flicked through a cook book and BAM. There it was, (WARNING: only for the really adventurous) | Billy | ||
| The Salad Tissues | I Was Eating Tea And My Lettuce Came Off The Plate And Fell On A Napkin Beside It. | Nigel | ||
| The Salavation Air Force | Natural progression (from Salvation Army?) | Charlie Swift | ||
| Salmon Eyes | It would be a nice name for a punk band. I got it when my family was watching "A Christmas Story" when I was a little kid. The old man recieved a can of Simoniz and my sister, thinking it was something else, said, "Why would anyone want a can of salmon eyes?" | Tejayes | ||
| Salt | A cool name for a Christian band, because of the whole "Salt and light of the world" thing. Also good because of the "flavor" element in music as well. I'd just be waiting for the first album entitled SODIUM CHLORIDE or SHAKER. There's the downside: the jokes may just come too easy. | Rachel | ||
| Saltlick | Nothing cooler than a block of salt for bovines>>>> | Matthew J. | ||
| Salty the Pocket Knife | It's Screech's band from Saved by the BELL!!!! | Jim Morrison | ||

| samedifference | u know when u say something and its kinda like somthing else, but not exactly the same and people say same difference? which is a total contradiction in itself and it totally bugs the hell out of u. i ended up saying it one day, and i was like dude, that would make a cool band name. | punkergirl | ||

| Sandy Miranda | A wordplay on Shelly Oberon, one of the avatars in the movie "Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle. It is formed from the original by substituting a different kind of beach and a different moon of Uranus. The avatar is a man, Shelly being a nickname for Sheldon, chosen by character Bethany Walker, who expects her avatar to be a woman, but gets thrown a curve in her choice. | Roy R. Pryor | ||
| Sane Asylum | Because there is no such thing as a Sane Asylum. I came up with this when I was looking at other band names on the web, I thought to myself what would sound cooler than the things I was looking at? Sane Asylum. Great name for an emo band or something like blink 182. | Tots | ||
| Sanga Nalanga | It means "no worries" in Fijian. | irene | ||
| Sanity's Dark Side | This is cool, because it sounds ominous. It sounds good for a metal band. I came up with it after thinking long and hard about how many stupid, seemingly insane people there are, but rather than saying 'Insanity's Dark Side', I decided to take something people always say is a good thing, and twist it in a way that'll (hopefully) make people think. | Super | ||

| Sarcasma | My friends and I were running around in our high school in the dark, pretending that we were spoofs of Charlie's Angels. I was Sarcasma, (after my biting sarcasm). I realized today that it would be a cute name, but for a female band, because if it were for a guy band, it would be like another Barenaked Ladies. As in, if they start out as unknowns, everybody could be confused about gender. | Sarcasma Creator | ||
| Sarcastic In Elastic | C'mon! You've gotta like that? Ryhming a band name is COOOOOOL!!!!! I thought of the word sarcastic-I write a lot of stories so I always use sarcastic-and then i thought of a bag-an elastic bag-and bingo!!! Ever make a band, that's a cool name!! | Dylo B | ||

So when I was talking about potential band names, he half-jokingly said, "What about Sarcofogus?" In a Metallica sort of voice. I would never use it, but it is a pretty sweet name. | lyrical gangsta | ||

| Saturday Morning Jesus | A bizzare combination of caffene, philosophical discussion, and making the Baby Jesus cry. | Mara | ||
| Saturday Night Nimrods | My friends and I were acting really stupid one Saturday night. We were listening to Green Day's cd Nimrod. | Laura | ||
| Saturnalia | Our band is called Saturnalia. We figured it out when Nate (a friend?) was doing a report on ancient winter holidays. Please don't steal it, considering we're already a band. Not very well known, however. | thetogabunny | ||
