E.N. wen pronounced still sounds like ian.. ha just wanted to see if i could come up with one i havent seen yet..

btw i feel drug induced name selection is the best..

For gods sake people, are you really still posting in this thread?

If I can pronounce it correctly it's golden

call yourself Snookie and that's that.

bumping an old thread with a question, is it legally sketchy to use a brand name as your artist name? I really dig the name Green Giant (my last name's Levert, which translates to "The green", and I'm tall as fuck, hence Green Giant, plus it sounds kinda cool IMO). BUT.. if I ever end up making any money out of music I don't wanna get sued by those canned veggies guys. But I've heard other artists with brand names too like DJ Special K, so I wasn't sure if it's doable.

thanks

Unfortunately, some companies take trademarks very seriously. Coven (Now Koven.) had legal action taken on him by a old 70's satanic metal band that was not too pleased with Koven using the same title. Unfortunately, he lost his facebook page with 20k+ fans and now is slowly rebuilding under Koven. So yeah, stay away from anything that shares the same name, even if it's not even related to music. I've made the mistake myself. Didn't realize the name "Makro" was a supermarket based in the UK and in other countries. Might have to rename myself before I put out my EP.

Damn.. thanks for the info

That could be because like you said, its related to music tho. I think cookie monsta seems to be doing ok, maybe a shit example lol but there are others doing ok. Shame to hear that about Koven tho I didn't know about that.

thats a shame that a fellow lover of music can be so uptight about something as silly as a title, its a completely different genre sure if i called myself malah then id be a fool. but why creat a problem if there isnt one in the first place. they could of comprimised whith coven (dubs) surely.
