How do you come up with an original catchy name?

Post by xXGreenXx90 » Wed Dec 04, 2013 10:38 am

How do you come up with an original catchy producer name? Deadmau5 got his name from a mouse that died in his computer, but I don't have a dead mouse to stuff in my computer :| Does it matter what the name is as long as you make good music or will having a random name effect you in any negative ways? Cheers :D!

Take a normal word, replace the e's with 3's and the a's with triangles;

Put the words 'Milky' and 'Pirate' together.

Also, Deadmau5 is like worst name ever.

Think of your favourite celebrity/musician/whatever and swap the first letters of their first name and surname.

Examples. Daul Paniels, Hulk Hogan, Weejay Danka.
