    If you are underground you could use any company names. If you get just a little bit famous, any big company lawyers will contact you concerning trademark infringements. Sometimes you could fight them off as their product is very different from a music offering. But I would not spend my money hiring lawyers fighting other lawyers.

    Here's another hint for those on the eternal quest to find the perfect DJ name. Use the first letters from this and add a couple of consonants and vocals:

    Son____
    Neo____
    Pho____
    Cat____
    Tri____
    Hyp___

    One or two X letters always makes the charm.

    Oh, it's Saturday noon, here' another hint. Take any unused Dutch first name (or last name) and go with it. You might even fake you are a Dutch DJ for a while....

    I did not know Fisher Price was ouside of NA. Thanks for the education Brad.

    I think my fisher price joke was lost on some people......if you are more concerned with a name than actually DJing, you are a toy. Just a joke, unless you want to go out and call yourself DJ Walmart.

    I used this method ... had to go with the http://www.bandnamemaker.com/ link and it gave me:

    Nicky Buffalo And The Grateful Hiatus



    Which sounds like a shit indie band.

    I used my middle names, because I think 'Harry Walker' sounds a bit gimpy.

    So it's Eddie Williams.

    I did think of DJ DYNATRONIKVALMORPHIDAZATION but it's too subtle.
