    i didn't see/read anything negative in Xonetacular's comments tbh, and i agree with what he's saying. however that doesn't mean i don't agree with the thread/topic.

    while the name has a degree of importance (external/public image, the right sounding name grabs attention etc... and obviously the personal aspects) imho it's only 2% (at best) of the total package.

    the best input i can give here is, go with what you like and you feel comfortable with. end of the day nobody will judge you on the name, just the quality of what you do, get that bit perfect and you could call yourself turdson mc shitty pants for all people care j/k

    he edited out his post. At first he made a rant about noobs making a big deal out of their dj name, and was quite condescending. It definitely had a negative tone to it.

    fair enough, but still has a point. dj name is the last thing to worry about

    i totally agree. BUT op didnt make a big deal out of it, just looking for suggestions. Xonetacular jumped in on his high horse giving out a noob speech. Hes well known on DJF for being a troll, and theres a reason why he got banned. I just hope he doesnt pollute this forum with his bs. I have nothing against him,but it looks like hes rubbed quite a few people the wrong way already.

    I used to love it when the MC said "Dj Sucks" .......... "on it" lolol
    I think there's a lesson to be learnt there
    I wish I hadn't opened my big mouth and told a m8 he should be DJ Pseudonym << my best work right there, and I had to explain to him what it meant grrrrr

    I'm liking the Dr Suess ideas, not the cat in the hat unless you're gonna wear 1 while u play. I'm sure there's a name to be had from his work like Gerald McBoing-Boing, One Fish Two Fish (Red Fish Blue Fish), (Green) Eggs and Ham or my fav atm Hoober-Bloob ( Highway)

    the OP just wanted some help in figuring out his moniker... why do you guys jump to the conclusion that he's overlooking the obvious skills a DJ needs just because of this. Don't be so presumptious.

    ofcourse a name matters! those of you who don't think so need to realize that we are selling a brand, we are selling a product and products need appealing labels for their consumer. This doesn't necessarily mean that OP has to come up with the most clever name or else he will fail as a DJ, but to say that this process he asked for help with "is the last thing to worry about" or "unimportant" is tantamount to naivety about proper marketing.

    and i'm NOT saying a name isn't important, but i don't think it requires that much thought, some of the best names have been plucked out of nowhere on the spot or from a moment of inspiration. i found the more thought i put in, the more i doubted it, so just used my name, or an abbreviated version anyway

    i.e Beardyman (yes i know he's not a dj, but still it's an example) needed a name to go on a flyer, he had a beard at the time, voila!

    He's being nice, and he's totally right BTW.

    Think of Massive Attack. If someone told you that was the name for their band you'd think... meh... what's that a terror core dj?... but in the end you associate the name with the music.

    I'm used to other forums where every "dj name threads" get instantly locked by mods and they aren't allowed because everyone makes them, just saying, it's a played out topic and I was giving him real advice and a different perspective about how little it matters.
