how about 'jelly boy'?

Now that thinking will get yu a long way!
Ass2Ass could be a fun collab name for you two...
It was never taken on by that poster that Boot suggested it to
& it has cachet on here already.

I can imagine Ayatollah with beard & turban playing Goth Trad's Far East Assasin,
while you Porkjelly, his apostate nemesis, waggle a finger at him
as you mix in Vista/Presence Known's Water Torture
and the steppas roll around the floor laughing.

I've got a question then: Jens Madsen, is that an unmemorable artist name? Or is it weird enough to remember?

for me?
it's reasonably memorable cos I had a mate called Jens & I know it's pronounced Yens
plus it's better than the anagrams Sensed Jams & DJ Amasseenn
I'd always assumed it was your actual name.

I have been a hip-hop emcee for quite a few years and have had many different monikers along the way... started mixing dubstep and after I started getting gigs i had to choose a new name to push.... i won't ruin the fun but here's a list of the names i've used over the years. I'd be really interested to get some opinions as to which ones are more memorable/obvious/cliche etc.

STC (Sabre Tooth Chameleon) <<< i was about 15 @ the time
Magenta Shift
Shifty
Mikee Shift aka Shifty Mike
Mr Shifta
Luigi
Luigi-313
Quixotic
Narwhal

Haha, Danish is pretty fucked up compared to English yeah. Glad you think it's alright, i kind of also think it's too late to change it now since it has been printed on a good number of flyers for events and so on.

@ the Don
Magenta's taken
variations of Shifty aren't exactly inspiring altho if yu want urban....
Mark Pritchard took 313
that leaves Luigi.....your name? simple enough but probably a disco name...altho Guido does ds
Quixotic...hmmm, shifty in other words
& Narwhal...the marine unicorn right?...sounds a bit blubbery
imo it would need Quixotic's sharpness & Narwhal's roundness + some weight....

I like the idea of my name (FmSea), but it's always looked a little odd to me and I can't seem to get over that

Interesting insights.... Luigi is my middle name and i kinda like it for the simplicity.... been rockin Quixotic thus far but maybe now gonna evolve into "Don Luigi The Narwhalic QuixObese

I quite like that, i think its odd in a good way... would be good name for an MC (FmSea)

Has Mount Eden been taken yet?

big tune for sure!

@ sd5, Ylem isn't a neologism - it's a coinage for primordial plasma

I really don't like my artist name, but it stuck in 2004 and I've been unable to change it. I don't know why anyone would appropriate it for a label name (cough, being facetious )

back from out west
& I see there's been an efflorescence of name games:
DJPhilDub trying to unclog his bloated appelation
half-filling Mr Glass with angst that his handle will be appropriated
& adambrown666 reduced to his beastly fundament.

affirming that over-identification with a word can be limiting
& some people would be better off letting others name them
or adopting a formative name eg Malibu and then modifying it...guess who?

that's surprising...it sort of matches your wild-haired, hippie time-traveller vibe. I'm sure there was an early 80s Oz post-punk-electronica precursor to Clan Analogue/Severed Heads/Scattered Order/Tactics/Scraping Foetus off the Wall called Third Eye so that's why I differentiate you as 3rdi with it's trippy twice-removed-identity implication.
