Sounds a bit hippyish IMO. Of course you may be a hippy in which case it suits you perfectly.

You're going to get zero chicks with a name like that (assuming you're a dude).

This thread made me laugh so hard..... fantastic stuff.

@op - Ocean Nebula is a bit wordy mate, not to mention a tiny bit pretentious and a teeny teeny bit gay. I suggest that you call your next tune "Ocean Nebula" as it isnt too bad for a track name but as an artist name it just doesnt deliver. You need something short, that will look good on a flier and is easy to remember. What are you into? Do you like stuff to do with outer space? If so then you have a huge amount of possible names that will sound good.

Failing that "Nebula" on its own sounds okayish........ but it does sound like a girls name.

** i am not attempting to be condescending here just this is how i feel **

as an artist, how can you be asking opinions from others on your moniker, name, identity? Do i like your name, its not bad, but who the fuck am i to say anything about it? If you picked it , it means something, then who am I to say other wise.

My name is Cloy Pi, and people all are like what the fuck is that, and then i explain it and well they are all dumbfounded. pick something that means something, that reallllly means something. talk is cheap.

There's already a Nebula that does breaks so can't use that.
