How do you come up with musician names for youreselves?

I am thinking about changing my name… cause frankly it sounds kinda stupid.
me and my friend came up with it in like grade 5, i dont remember how. haha.

wbu guys

I use the name (paddy) my friends called me in school :slight_smile:

i was luckily dubbed with a unique first name “izn”, so i just go with dj izn :stuck_out_tongue:

try thinking of something (name, place, person, thing) that is meaningful to you, and make a cool name out of it

If your really good, you can make an ironic name! mines is ZeroBeet

and i go around by the alias of U+203D…WHATEVER that means…i think your “artist name” will depend really on what you hope to get out of it, or if it´s just a name and not so important?..but then again…you might want to make some NAME for yourself…yes, i can see the trickiness of it all…How about “NiMi” which is finnish for NaMe ;`)

6-8 shots of patron, 12 beers, a dictionary and some darts. First, get reaaaaaaalllly drunk. Then throw the darts (pointy side out) at the dictionary. Then, start combining words that the darts went through.

I would also reccomend the very high tech style that already got introduced by dripstep. or if you dont use alcohol, ask your friends to just pop-up with a word and then re-arange the letters. or do an anagram of your real name or or or, invent something, there so numerous ways to come up with allkinds of silly things in this word :`)

Haha I’m only 15, and I don’t drink :stuck_out_tongue: lol
My friend said head smash + add vowels into it haha

Maybe less for an artists name, but it’s an awesome method to name tracks

Mine is a play off my last name…and something my friends called me in school…Last name - Hakanson. dj name - Hackysac. my first name is tayor so i also had tbags, tbone, tay…it goes on and on with the nicknames…but i really liked hackysack so i just removed the k at the end and there it is…

Haha this is what I got for my first wiki roll Yellow-eared spiderhunter - Wikipedia

DJ Yellow Eared SpiderHunter

I chose “Sigma” the first time I signed up to a message board, which must have been about 12 years ago. It’s kinda the Greek equivalent of the letter S, which is the first letter of my real name (Steve), so I went with that as it’s short and vaguely relevant, haha.

I get emails from time to time from people trying to book the D&B group Sigma for a gig or festival, lol, but I was using this name before them and I’m not changing it now. :smiley:

There’s a lot to be said for just using your name!

You gotta let your friends decide, man!

At first I was dubbed DJ Tapeworm because I eat so much for my size. Now my friends call me “DJ Jombie” because they like Chan Sung Jung (The Korean Zombie).

Once you find a name, you will just KNOW! Have fun with it man.

Well why not? thats kindah cool more than one ways if you think about it, you could even shorten it Dj Yes…yes? why not says i.

i got my name by watching the news and porn…

For gigs and my productions/edits/remixes i use just my full name. (but it’s very long winded).

But i’f i’m trying new stuff out in front of people i usually hand my edits and stuff out to to test waters i go by the name ‘Blue Mogener’ so they don’t know it’s me until i get a feel for what i want to do then i put it under my own name once i’m happy.

‘Blue Mogener’ is the name of a person that was in the fishing industry 15+ years ago right back into the early 1900’s in my local town as my local town is the biggest white fish port in Europe. I’v always used it as a handle for Graphic Design work, Photography, Forums, Blogs blah blah..

I used my name “Dj T3chNoPh@53” beacuse my freind in school said that I’m going through a “techno phase” beacuse I was listening to alot of EDM and Dubstep. so that’s where I came up with my name. :smiley:

I like this. :stuck_out_tongue:

I use my real name.
