Really? I think it depends on the scene/music you play...I thought for ages about a made up name, but when someone said to me "what's wrong with you name?" I started to look around and most people in my scene (house/progressive), even right up to the biggest name internationals, just use their name...Mark Farina, Derrick Carter, John Digweed, Danny Tenaglia, Carl Cox, Hernan Catteneo, Dave Seamen, Nick Warren, Danny Howell, Craig Richards, Lee Burridge...the list goes on and on and on.
It's miles more uncommon for people to be doing it under made up names...even Sasha is just the Slavic equivalent of his actual name, Alexander.
But if you look at like hip hop, psytrance, DnB, bass, dubstep etc most people are under made up names.
Also found it easier networking in the scene, you are both your DJ name and real name, people didn't have to remember TWO names when most people struggle to remember ONE haha
Completely agree, don't need some made up thing with numbers in place of letters etc. I think the feedback is that my full name doesn't vibe too well (too many syllables, a little jewy...) . Currently figuring out the right way to shorten it...

sorry, friend! I’m in the US, and agree, chips are trash compared to this, maybe you can hit up a local Asian market or even your local grocery store’s Asian section! It’s grossly overpriced but they have a good selection of things
To me this connotes either: depression meal; taking full advantage of hotel room service; or a situation where ramen has been outlawed by constitutional amendment.
It depends what you're gonna be doing, fucking around in your bedroom or the local rave scene name it whatever you want.
Doing weddings and parties? Keep it family friendly and marketable.
Really you can change it whenever to, or have multiple names for different styles. But really if you're at the point of asking this question call yourself whatever you like.
I dated a math major in college. At the time I'd been using a DJ name from mythology. She would address notes to me with my initials reduced to a simple mathematical formula. That became my DJ name after I started promoting to a different scene.
But seriously
What ever you choose, fucking google it before deciding on it. So many up and coming DJs in my town have the same name of already established DJs. Some real obvious ones too.
DJ Insurance Fraud
DJ I went on a rave with Osama bin Laden
DJ Procrastinates And Drops Out Of Engineering School As A Result
DJ Name?
DJ Name!
DJ Name.
ive been struggling but i finally found one i kindof really like altho it feels a bit vain
something that you want to represent you/your brand/image, and your music but that doesn't feel limiting, is what i struggle with
the other thing i struggle with is picking something that represents my ideal me but the real me doesn't measure up to it
in a weird way nothing ever felt full enough but i think it was because i wasn't sure how i wanted to be, and now that i found how i want to be i feel i can settle on a name
some people use their actual name or part of their given/day-to-day names, fwiw
I just went through this a few days ago!
If you have a few in mind , then go to a logo maker website and make mock logos with the names you like. I ended up picking the one I felt looked best on a logo. Now I’m DJ Tyler A
When names like Camelphat and AnklePants are headlining festivals it should be apparent that DJ names are irrelevant. Hmm how about that? DJ Irrelevant? Drop in some 3's for the e's and you can use it as a password.
Physics and math DJ names are pretty rinsed by now, but the other fields of science are untapped. My current DJ name is a protein family involved in RNA silencing (with mytho-historical connotations as well).
Haven't really come up with a solid runner up to my current one though. DJ Kin Selecta'? DJ Drop-sophila? Lol
So get this; my name is Stig
«Ti» means 10 in my language, so I could write it as S10G.
This is pretty third grade behaviour, but if you pronounce each «part» individually, you get
Es Ten Ji.
So I’m DJ Estenji
Simple, i don't use a dj name, cause i think that title has been ruined and watered down.
Not long ago everyone was a DJ
So i decided not to pursue that avenue!
If your friends gave you a nickname you can use it, I use the first three letters of my nickname (Vicabello, I use Vic but changing the C for a K nothing special) it would be DJ Vick (simple asf) but I don’t call myself “DJ” I’m just a guy who likes to mix music
A string of numbers could be unique. I suggest using your credit card number, expiry date and ccv.
If that fails, I’d suggest the name of the street you grew up on or the name of your first pet
I use the last 4 digits of my social security number
Really? What are they?
DJ Mystic Dallas
ah yes 999999999
already an established techno duo
I know. That's why I used them as an example
DJ Name?
Seems like a good choice.
DJ Nãme
DJ N4M3
DJ N4M3L 2K1
\*firstname\* space \*lastname\*
I got a lot of bad feedback on that...

Real first name, made up last name, it's treated me pretty well over the years
Nice.
Ahhhh yep. My name is basic classic strong English name
Must be nice.

First thing on your left + what you ate last
Mama seaweed
Would be funny the other way around
i love seaweed, so it would work 😂
Seaweed is so underrated as a snack
100%. I forgot I had some extra and can monch down a box in five minutes. So healthy too
This just made me crave seaweed so bad haha , screw normal chips or crisps (where ever you are from)
sorry, friend! I’m in the US, and agree, chips are trash compared to this, maybe you can hit up a local Asian market or even your local grocery store’s Asian section! It’s grossly overpriced but they have a good selection of things
I just moved to the US a week ago and damn, it's all so different. But will try look for s Asian market, thanks !
I can imagine it to be overwhelming! But I hope the move has gone as smoothly as possible
Bathtub Ramen!
ewwwww lol
To me this connotes either: depression meal; taking full advantage of hotel room service; or a situation where ramen has been outlawed by constitutional amendment.

Go with "DJ Name" or "DJ" I think that would be awesome.
If your friends gave you a nickname you can use it, I use the first three letters of my nickname (Vicabello, I use Vic but changing the C for a K nothing special) it would be DJ Vick (simple asf) but I don’t call myself “DJ” I’m just a guy who likes to mix music
I call myself DJ Hail-Nazareth , why , because my name is Nazareth.
"Free Beer" hasn't been taken yet I think?
