Choosing my DJing name

Hey folks, It is time to get into the game really for serious and I will start this thread with a famous scream in the Psytrance Scene:

“NOW IT’S THE TIME TO TAKE WHAT IS MINE!” by Dudev :smiley:

Basically I will start to promote myself and I need a proper facebook user/page/soundcloud, to sum up, I need a DJ identity on the interwebzz :smiley:

Since my name is Vinicius Hoffmann and I admire the Albert Hoffmann’s work on the Psychedelics, and since there are so many references in the Psytrance Scene to Albert, I think there is a good idea to use my last name on my DJing name. Also a lot of my friends doesn’t even know me by Vinicius, just by Hoffmann, Hoff, Hoffz, and so on.

I’ve come with an idea that could work. Since Albert was an Doctor (more a researcher but doctor PhD too) I was thinking to use Doctor in my DJ name. It can work on the flyers and I can think in a lot of artworks, album and song names using the theme Doctor, Hoffmann and Psytrance.

What do you guys think? I need to choose one between two bellow:

Doc Vin Hoff (short for Doctor Vin Hoffmann)
Doc Von Hoff (short for Doctor Von Hoffmann)

I’m thinking to use the short version for flyers/logo name and the long for personal promo, facebook/myspace/soundcloud pages.

If you have another idea be wellcome to suggest me. Also if the name is offensive or funny in any other language that I don’t know, please alert me before I take my decision :slight_smile:

Also check my latest mix on my signature to know what’s my style :smiley:

As always thank everybody from DJTT community and thanks Dudev for such a great scream lol :smiley:

I prefer the simpler ‘DJ V-Hoff’ than the Doc ones!:confused:

Thanks for your feedback :smiley:
keep em coming

DJ V-Hoff PhD?

5

I’m trying to avoid put DJ in front of the name.
And PhD is not so appealing here is Brazil… :disappointed:
But thanks for your suggestion :smiley:

6

Hoffercraft :smiley:

V-Hoff

V-Hoff

I like it, I will keep that in mind for sure :smiley:

Thanks to those who like my actual name too, but the letter V alone doesn’t have the same sonority in Portuguese or in Spanish that has in English, I don’t think that will have the same power as Vin or Von…

But I like that the V-Hoff sounds good in English, maybe I can use it when I start to play on foreign countries :smiley:

Doc Hoff

11

I would like to suggest “Eight Ball Greg”

12

Hassel D. Hoff

13

Awesome. That has my vote.

14

In that case…

Vin Hoff.

The doc parts just not working for me haha

15

+1

16

Always off the beaten track smi7 :slight_smile:

Vicious Vernicius
Jules Vern

Got an unusual name - why not play on that. ‘Doc’ doesn’t do it for me.

(Dig ‘Hoffercraft’)

17

Anything with Hoff in it is too close to this saddly famous person…

You might as well call yourself Kitt :eek:

18

Looool
HasselHoff!
He’s not so famous here in Brazil :smiley:

I understand why you guys are into Hoffercraft, and I’m into the same reasons. I think it would be a nice name for a Low BPM (Tech/Electro House) project, but I don’t think it fits the psytrance scene well… But I’m sure it’s into my options

19

I like

Von Hoff

or just V-Hoff

Start with Von Hoff, and when you start doing international tours you can call yourself The Doc.
