What is your "artist" name, and why did you pick it?
i'll go first.
- First of all, "DJ A" is really expensive.
- Besides, even if you could afford "DJ A," he's probably not even available.
"Let's just go with DJB."

My name and surname because I was born with it.
'Shadow Dancer', which I've always hated....chosen because we were threatened with legal action from a band who already had the name we wanted and we literally had an hour to think up something. Just went with an old video game-related title because we lack imagination. Unfortunately (and fortunately) we then got signed & it was too late to change it.
Now working on some ambient & IDM stuff under the name 'Sleepless' because I am rubbish at sleeping.
From my FB artist page: ( facebook.com/Interplekt )
"Interplekt is the artist name of Derek Jones
Interplekt is ...
... a play on words. A combination of two overlapping Latin phrases, borrowing from a dead language to make music that's alive:
Inplecto - which means "To weave",
and
Inter plecto - which means (roughly) -"Between the braid"
Interplekt's name was chosen to reflect the multiple connected and interwoven genres that it spans, as well as the nature of the music itself.
...
Interplekt is the weaving together of music and genres from Blues to Progressive - from Rock to Ballad - from Indie to Alternative - from Classical to Christian - to create a tapestry of sound and original songs."
OK. So, there ya go. A bit corny perhaps, but, works for me
( MusicInclusive is my Indie label / business side of things https://facebook.com/MusicInclusive and https://facebook.com/MusicInclusiveLLC/ )
I don't have an artist name, but my original band's name is shutterwax. It means absolutely nothing, we were just thinking of words and liked it.
My "production company" name is 157 audio. Someone asked me if it was because all I needed to make a record was one 57. Sadly, that was not how I came up with the name (it's my house number), but i guess I could claim it!
My old wedding band was called black tie boogie, chosen from a list of names submitted by a friend. I preferred Captain Fork and the Spoons, but we decided we actually wanted to work...of course, btb was a name change from "Braino," which was no longer working well for booking weddings, but did work in clubs. Braino was led by Jeffrey Brayne (my shutterwax partner in crime).
Total Soul, one of my current wedding bands- well, I wish it was TOTAL Soul but gigs dictate more variety. Oasis, my other band, well, it's not that oasis (too bad!), but they've been together since 1980 doing weddings (I've been there 4 years), so it sticks.
So there's my story, sad but true...when I played a boy named sue.
Originally I wanted to go with the Lullaby League but no way people would find me without searching through 99 pages of this
Went with RSL as sounds chilled liked the music and it rhymes a bit
I like RSL. I also like your ivcs3 presets.
Because the other 26 funjunkies were already taken.
I go with this when it's my "normal" stuff, meaning my Pop/Rock/Indie 'verse/chorus' song material. I also use my initials for my business/publishing stuff, JRSIV Music Ltd., and for most forums and stuff.
I have a pseudonym just for experimental music or if I ever want to lay low to get an unbiased opinion from someone, but I haven't used it in a long time. I think in today's music scene a name or "brand" (as they say) is as important as it ever was, but with licensed music and just the abundance of stuff out there the song ID software apps like SoundHound make finding music you hear easier than in the past.
"funjunkie26 is too expensive. Let,s go with funjunkie27."
Was in a three piece a thousand years ago: Joey Dunlop (bass), Jimmy Firestone (guitars) and Johnny Goodyear (keys, vox). Best musician in the band was our Alesis drum machine. We were into rubber solutions. The other two guys died, but Johnny stuck.
Forgot to say that giving myself a nickname makes me feel stupid every time I hear it
My parents chose it.
However, I have used other names in the past.
Haddon Hall: It is where David and Angie Bowie lived in the early seventies, but I think it sounds like a quintessential English bassplayer name.
Lurch Harpsichord: I was playing keyboards and am a fan of Ted Cassidy.
J C Lightborn: I used this when I played steel guitar in a band fronted by a female impersonator. It is Luciferian and sounded like a honky tonk name.
Mink Jones: I used this while playing in my sleaze punk band in the eighties.
It is just cool sounding. Right?
I was in a two piece with my friend, who is also named "john". Our intro:
John: "I'm John!"
John: "No, I'M John!"
In unison: "This is our drum machine, we named it John!"
When I was in college, a friend of mine gave me the nickname of Chisel because I was just starting to workout and chisel my body. When I was looking for an alias to use on music forums, I decided to stick with Chisel because it took on another meaning of chiseling (filtering) complex waveforms to produce different timbres. Then the Internet started to grow at a rapid rate and soon Chisel was taken at most sites I was joining. So, I changed it to chisel316 because my birthday is March 16 and I thought the "c" looked better lowercase.

Mr Nezumi was actually my cat's name. He had an email account that he didn't use much, so I started using it and people started to call me his name.
Bernice St . Hibbson Stibbsun coz its a catchy moniker yeah
AyePad, which is just a word play, but it separates my new and more electronic / ambient stuff from my Death/Thrash Metal past.
I changed to A Multitude of One from AlterEgoUK a few years back because I wanted to join the Apptronica label and get my music to a wider audience and there were quite a few artists with similar names around.
I chose A Multitude of One because I play a multitude of styles and (with the help of iPad apps) a multitude of instruments!
I also play in a covers band called Automatic Splash high I think our then drummer got rom a band generator website.
Previously, I was in a band called Cool And the Blues, which the singer came up with because he thought he was cool and we had two backing singers we called the Blues.
In the 80s I had an electronic (OMD, Depech Mode, Human League) band called Forgotten Heroes, which was actually inspired by the line 'one more forgotten hero in a world that doesn't care' from the song Streets of London by Ralph McTell.
Fruitbat1919
Fruitbat because it has been my nickname since I was 18.
1919 due to my love of all things Bauhaus.
Jan Dark, similar to my real name and .. you got it
unfortunately there's some blokes out there that came up with the same idea, but I've never changed it, ca 25 yrs now
Er, Gropius or Lugosi?
Tubular chairs and the bat winged wonder
So you're a goth minimalist then? All clean lines and black eye-shadow...
For many years I went by the name "rEalm" for all my music. It was simple, I like it, but it was problematic for a few reasons:
There's a lot of other bands and artists using the same name.
People thought the capital E was a mistake (hommage to cEvin Key) and would always correct it.
Some people still said it wrong. I'll never forget being introduced at one of my biggest gigs back then as "the real m". Sigh.
More than anything though, when I set about making my first website, it was impossible to get anything simple with realm in the web address. Too many other bands using it, or fantasy websites, etc.
So I just came up with something totally unique one day, so that I could have a simple web addy that any search for my artist name would point to. I don't remember how it came to me, but it stuck instantly.
Lol well I'm way too old for eye shadow
Too many cushions
My next band was going to be called “Modern Techniques” but I’m not very good at working with other people, or cooperating, or going out of the house, or anything like that. It’s cold out, and it looks like it might rain soon. Surely thinking the name up was enough.
This is a cool thread. Interesting reads!
I've gone by my real name for an acoustic Rock/Worship album I did.
Now I like to use: Jayson Vein.
Bands I've been in: Coram Deo, OnWord, High5denied.
@hellquist
You still into Death/Thrash? I could never put thrash metal in my past. I love it toooooo much.
