How did you choose your Dj name ?

penguin · 10-14-2007, 05:02 AM

Did you already have a Dj name in mind when you began djing ? I had a few that I wanted , but when I searched them on internet for similar names , I had to drop them because I was looking for something unique.Finally, I settled for DJ Phoenix. Yeah, I know that isn't uncommon either. So what's the story behind your DJ name ?

My original DJ name was naked radio chick. My cohost and I did a topless radio show as a last ditch attempt to get listeners our first semester. There was a sheet across the DJ booth and a friend watched the door for us, but one of the guys who listened decided that wold be my DJ name for me. I really don't have one now, but depending on if I get back into DJing and what I do with it, I would probably pick that one back up. Its a fun name.

DJ Trev is my name. Cool huh? LOL. Trevor is my first name, but everyone calls me by Trev. I don't really like it, but my friends do.

Scratcher · 10-14-2007, 05:53 PM

I am DJ DJ. I really like that name, I don't remember how I got it though. I think I was just thinking of a name and saying DJ over and over, and I liked it

I am yet to think of a name for myself. Initially , I thought of DJ Bulldog , but the more I think of it the more I dislike it. I want it to be something that goes with the kind of music I play. It should be a reflection of the musical personality of the dj. I will give it some time . Maybe I will get an idea from here.

DarkPsyFanatic · 10-16-2007, 09:21 PM

Mine was just a random thing I came up with. DarkPsyFanatic, which is possibly a little too long...but serves it's purpose enough imho.

No problems have arisen from it's use yet, so I can't really complain too much.

And hey, I like the name!

stuffabunny · 10-18-2007, 07:39 PM

I go by DJ Bun. I like to wear ears or a tail to match the name. Its a gimmick but it works pretty well. Bun is my nickname from college. I can't recall where it came from, maybe from me wrinkling my nose over a drink someone handed me at a party? It would make sense.

That's cute , Stuffabunny. I have a dj friend who puts on red horns and shades whenever he does a gig and his dress up looks quite fascinating . The first time he turned up that way , I thought he must be a crazy fun. I wouldn't dare something as flashy till I am famous ,lol.

Are most names picked random, or are they given to you by fans? I think the latter would be a tad more fun.

learning2dj · 11-09-2007, 09:53 AM

I don't have a DJ name yet but I'm still learning how to do this. There's a DJ contest happening at the high school and I was thinking of entering but I'm too chicken

Jammer · 11-11-2007, 04:51 AM

If ever I would become a real DJ, this username would be my DJ name. Its not that very unique but at least it will say something already about who I am.

Why don't we have some contests here like having the best DJ name?

dj_daw · 11-16-2007, 07:56 AM

My name is LEO when I am on board. I came to think of this name because this is the first part of my name Leonilyn. I like this because it sounds masculine but I am a female.

ScouseHouse · 11-16-2007, 11:39 PM

My name picked me. I am a Scouser (Liverpudlian) living a fair bit away from home. Everyone around here knows me as Scouse, and so it just kind of stuck-DJ Scouse.

aarathi · 02-01-2008, 03:23 AM

My orginal Dj name is aarathi. This was my daughter's name. I liked my daughter very much. That is why i choose her name as Dj name.

DJ_MATTRON · 10-18-2008, 09:40 AM

I came into school in 9th grade with a robot suit on, and I wrote mattron on the suit, then peple started calling me Mattron. obviously my names Matt

therefore...... DJ Mattron
