It wouldn't hurt if I changed my DJ name, it's getting to a point where I better do it soon, or I'll be stuck with it, so it is a priority, but I suck at this kind of thing.

So what is your DJ name/alias, and how dd it come to you?

(Mind you I searched, but got nothing, and an update wouldn't hurt)

Reason:

Thing is the last flier had that DJ name of mine on it, which I didn't like, I gave the owner a promo cd and wrote down "mixed by: [my name]", yet he still put the awful dj name on it.

So I better make one fast, the second flier is a bigger event and that has the crap name on it...but not the third flier no, I must change it by then.

Inspire me!

Use your real name - sounds more professional. Unless you have some freaky weird unpronouncable name like ... Tijs Verwest

Sort of.

Even if i was good enough to have a dj name.. i wouldn't use my nickname. Simply cause it'd be GAY! lol

Dj nelly, lol how many of them are there out there. My real name is Steven Neligan so that's where nelly came from (my second name, although it's not pronounced nelly, more nelegin)

Anywho, Dj names as Aquarian has said are sometimes a bit tack, using your real name or a simplified version of it is often a safe bet. Ask your close friends what they think you should use. Your mates would know you best surely?

nelly.

My closest friend was the one who caused me all this shit with the dj name. Right now it is DJ 'Rawguy'

Awful, just awful. I play house/techno... I don't want a rap/hip-hop/homosexual sounding name. (Raw? That could mean anything.........)

I struggled to come up with a name for myself for a long time, until one day it came to me.. How about my mothers name? A bit of a tribute you know?

I just took out the first to letters (Ch) because I didn't want people to think I was female haha.

Thanks, quite helpful.

Well first of all I thinkl you hsould decide the name by yourself,



That is just so common nowadays


DJ "Your Name"


if you don't want to use your name "Alone"

then just use whatever comes to your mind, you can add the DJ if you want, but adding the DJ to a person name I think there are thousands and your name would nto be noticeable.


about my DJ name, well its "Pepa", and it wasnt so hard to get it, it is just a nickname that people call me since I was a child.

I found my name by searching for music related words in the dictionary. then i came across the word rhapsody. So thats my DJ name DJ Rhapsody. according to merriam it means a musical composition of irregular form having an improvisatory character hence what djing is kinda about (the improv part).
