Is it wrong?

If the other DJ is far from famous, then it's no biggie.
Well maybe if you think you 'd ever play the same genre.

I appreciate all the responses, thanks guys.

I was thinking of maybe just using the nickname i have had pretty much forever, DJ Ringo....for some reason though, when i imagine it on a poster or flyer, it just looks weird to me. The name i was thinking of, which sparked this topic, was DJ Eclipse....what do you think?

What do you spin and in what kind of venue do you see yourself playing ?

At most of the gigs i DJ, its a lot of top 40/hip hop. I really prefer EDM/dubstep/dance, however most of the places i play want the mainstream top 40 stuff.

Did you have a name in mind?

DJ Ecplise or DJ Ringo

DJ Eclipse sounds like some oldskool hardcore DJ (I know there was a night called eclipse as well)
Dj Ringo just sounds wrong.

If you drop the DJ bit, I think both work well, although I prefer Ringo.

What everyone else said plus the great thing is you can create as many names for yourself whenever you want.

I ran into trouble going by the name of Kid Alex in 2000. Two other guys going by the same name became really famous two years later (one of them is Boys Noize today). Although I wouldn't have had trouble going with that name 6 years later I booked one of the Boys Noize Records artists. If I had still used that name there would've probably been great trouble at or before that party. So when one of the other guys becomes well known you should look for something else.

Wouldn't be major issue. There are only so many words (granted, billions upon billions of combinations) - there are bound to be a few clashes down the line.

Search for 'Indigo' in the realms of music. Loads of them.
