How did you come up with your DJ Name?

when i was born my name was supposed to be Ranzerox Sebastian. but it wasnt normal enough for my father to handle so i was named christian. but ever since knowing that story i used Ranzer or ranzerox as my screen name for everything so naturally i ported it over as my dj name

Mine came from ... well, a strong preference for citrus fruit, and Sprite :-)

Honestly, though, it won because it is easy for people to say out loud, and it has the added bonus that is the fad of having numbers for letters (I see too many 3OH3! t-shirts at my local mall...)

I think I had it down to like 5 names and my wife chose the one that was ... the least retarded?

In marketing, you can brand any name to your style of music - so the real important things are how they LOOK IN WRITING, how they SOUND, and if they're memorable. (The memorable part of mine comes from the tag line)

But I'm really a classical composer =D

so what does lemon lem 3 mean?

Probably Lemon lime. :P

But Micah, I would just go for your name: Micah Cruver. Maybe build that into Micah Cruyer.

I used to go under the name tekki, which was based one of the katas I loved most with karate and the fact that I loved things techy.
Until a certain point I found that there also was a new d&b dj based in the UK, who was also calling himself tekki, next to a another guy calling himself teki latex who was releasing tracks like mad.

Nowadays I settle for the name Leslie Jones, which is my first name with the second name of my daughter. (Who is called Riley Jones, Jones not even being her last name)

Agreed - sounds like a dj name to me.

Mine was just a nickname from steven, at work years ago developed to steffan then stiffan to stiffler to stiffy so mr stifffy kinda stuck after a rushing an application form on a site the three f's stuck... People think stifffy is dirty but its just a name, I guess I like to play dirty dubstep and electro house

I used to use DjCos (just a shorter version of my name, Constantine) but I now see there are quite a few "DjCoses" out there so I need to find a new one =.=
