Good points Phil. I hadn't thought of some of the considerations you highlighted. Great lesson!
These are great videos.. Thanks so much
Thanks for watching :)
I really joined your videos and lesson, thanks
Whoo, I smacked every bad point on the head. I had a feeling I needed something new, and the sooner the better.
Good advice about generic and descriptive and suggestive.
Yeaaah! Go Chemical Brothers!!!
Woah, totally hadn't thought about the limitations around calling oneself a DJ. It's already in my birth name though - this is a toughie.
I was thinking of "Cataclysm" for me
Joseph is my name and my African totem is is LIon so came up with DJ Joey Lion
If you wanna know if your dj name is alredy being used, try sign in in beatport with it
nice
i like that :D sounds fresh
What if I think of a name and that name is being used by say a rock band? Would the genre division be enough that I wouldn't be in trouble?
You just made me rethink my DJ name. I'm still going to stick with it, but nicely done nonetheless.
I picked DJ FireCracker is that a good name?
Hello My name is Stefan, i make meny mix clubing and techno but i don't know choosing dj name can helping me.
Can I ask something what does play_stutter mean in Virtual Dj I really just don't get it..
I came up with a DJ name and turns out it was taken when I searched godaddy. So I went to the website using the name and there is nothing there ... should I still use that name?
I was thinking of DJ sliver mind 👌
Yo, so, I have a question. I'm wanting to keep my artist, (Producer/DJ) name as simply 'Rachel G' ('cause that's my darn name, y'know?) without a DJ in front of it, HOWEVER, there are at least 4 different Rachel G's who are semi-prominent. One is an actress, the other is a UK pop/dance artist. However, my soundcloud is the second result in Google when I search for 'Rachel G music' so my question is; should I simply attempt to become more prominent in google search results, for SEO and to push out the other Rachel G's, (who are all inactive online) or should I change my name all together and avoid the trouble? Thoughts DDJT audience?
I looked at your web page and had no idea this was your video
Ive was in the club scene for years and now trying to make a comeback and go digital but im doing more weddings now and think my name GhettoRules its good for themixtapes but i kind of want to change the perception of the word ghetto
I have taken my DJ Name as Tyranix. Is it good or any suggestions? My real name : Michael Ricky
Michael Ricky haely?
The way I look at it, if people want to call me a DJ that is up to them, that is not for me to decide!
is dj vexalite a good one?
no that's my dj name

ive had it for a while
Yes
loose the "dj"...i've been trying "overdrive" for some time but I found a few people with similar name
deadmau5 and skrillex r awesome! is this a good name? rainbowjulie? or DJ julie
+julie boss DJ Joules? lol physics..maybe good
I thought i might as well leave a comment,i've been trying to find a name for my self and so far the best i've come up with is ''The Black Rag'' cause it just about covers me and who i am and how i have always been treated through my life,any opinions on that are welcome.
My name is Ryan raschle any suggestions?
my name is rifqi, any suggestion?
+wahyoe lafriaz Rifkey
Im thinking of MayMay, Mono Youth, or Phanic. Someone pick one for me
Like the last two for sure :)
Phanic is cool, easy to remember
I think phanic is good
Ric0chet i might use this
i don't know what to choose, I Wanted somethin' like "Tactic Atom"
But Some friends are thinking for my name as "Tha Crome"

Do you know a name with somethin' like 'The Tactic Atom' 'TTA'

Matt Messina Matt Mess
Hm. I didnt put too much thought in mine. I Just named myself after the company that made my boat which i used to live in. Is that going to be a problem?
Rather depends what the name is! :)
Its Noordsvaarder ;)
I gotta say by the way. thanks for all your videos. they are awesome!
I really need help my name is Max Persson any ideas of name?
Cool name to start with! Here's a few more tips: www.digitaldjtips.com/2010/07/how-to-choose-a-good-dj-name/ and www.digitaldjtips.com/2013/03/best-names-for-a-dj/
Opinions on my name? (Furoix) I know it might be hard to pronounce/spell but finding unique unused name is impossible these days. And i was trying to make something that isn't take in social media.
Understandable, it's very cool, but you're right - might be hard to pronounce at first. Then again, sometimes the performer makes the name (I mean...look at DeadMau5) :)
I am name-crazy when it comes to djing. I go on lots of websites eg Audiotool, NUMU and use different names. Here's some of mine. Shadowflame0, Lancer and Xe0n, If I become a proffesional dj (quite hard to think but possible) I had tons of names and don't know which to use. Deejay (also don't know if taken), Madazz, Toxicvile Crocodile, Donkay dude (yes, I like donkeys), Jackazz, Terminita, Devestata, Dubztep Donkey, Beatbeazt, Razor Radical, Bo0mb@ss, Doomzdai and Radikal. LOL
i cant decide between jones bones, riptide, or stardust
I was thinking of DJ MELODY
i have taken my dj name as protohyë... i know it has a few problems like : protohype already exits and i don't think that those 2 dots are making a big difference (i don't think that people would type like that), 2. if i put the DJ in front if it like "DJ protohypë" it would become too long to pronounce. Sadly I made a few usernames and I've registered to a few websites as protohypë.. And i even made my logo and designed it.. But i think it's not too late as DJ to choose a new artist name... What do you think?
yea you gotta change your name, protohype is a pretty big producer.
i know... it's pretty hard to find a dj name nowadays all of them are taken...
I agree, but you cant go wrong with your name or a variation of your name
protohypë Not because it's hard to find, it's hard to create because we must be creative to make us popular, really. Actually ur name is goodlol
protohypë use your real name
My name is Brent Belmans, I have no idea what I can use as a dj name, any suggestions? :D I have played a game and always used the name Rapier Exp, maybe that could help, but most people don't know how to pronounce it, if there are any suggestions, they'd be highly appreciated
what about DJ king or queen bees
Brent Belmans use your name its different and unique

Can u call ur self a dj when u do music and use a dj controller? :=)
+Spellthief Blitz HD If someone produces music, he's a music producer but when someone Produces music within the Genres of DJ Music..He's a DJ Producer! and when he mixes all those produced tracks live as his DJ set...That's the "DJ"! and yeah DJ "SET" is not possible without a DJ Controller! Laptop DJs (one moused DJs) literally don't get counted!
+Spellthief Blitz HD yep if u good and cn handle a crowd
Mine is DJ3D
i am thinking DJ willy (from the movie save willy)
Cobalt is mine ^__^
Need advice this has been stressing me out for too long lol ! I've been going under my last name Schwing for about 2 years as a producer/dj name but always wanted to come up with a made up name and nothing ever sticks. The only one that kinda stuck was Nine North but still can't decide on it cause only I know what it means to me, or was thinking maybe Joey Schwing idk. Problem with schwing is of course that damn movie Waynes world made up the word schwing for when a hot girl walks by and it just so happens to be people's last name like mine lol and don't want people affiliating it with that haha what do u guys think??
Joseph Schwing Just take Joseph Schwing ITs good!

My DJ name is DJ rick skriker but my real name is Robin and I don't think the skriker is the right name and DJ the striker is already taken so f*** can some of you actually help me making a DJ name for myself oh my channel is a link to my SoundCloud on under my videos
What about Riker? :-)
It's so cheesy to call oneself DJ, why some want to do that is beyond me!
If you're caught mixing tracks it already implies you're a DJ, so why bother underlining that fact twice?!
Good points but each to their own :-)

DJ Pansurd use your real name its dope

Any DJ name with the word DJ in it is automatically almost always trashy and uninspired.
