Armin from Buuren
Paul from Dyk
made sense when some guy told me
lol guess not ~_~
"from", yes. but in translation to english i think it would be more like "of". Armin of Buuren (family name). Paul of Dyk (family name)

if i were a dj, i'd most likely just use my real name or use my first name and last initial.
then i would get extemely creative with the aliases...

The sheer stupidity of the premise of this thread gave me the best laugh I've had in a long time.

lol... i'd have to be a very good dj to use that name
not quite sure at the moment. i'd probably use something like "A", "Type A"... (not the most creative) but i think i would base it around the music i make under that alias and then come to a better alias name.

The original "van" remark has been my favorite so far in the thread. The ignorance involved is rather astounding. Imagine a non-Anglophone EDM listener saying something like this:
"So many DJs stick 'John' in their names! John Askew, John '00' Fleming, John Digweed?!"
i'd probably piss myself laughing if someone said that for real
