Note to noobies regarding names

[5COPY]

Then play around with it like Tijs Verwest did with his and came up with Tiësto! But of course he first thought of that after going by with many alias.

McDropwub

This made my day

[Makkon]

I have Captain Ironhelm.

I want another screen name, but it hasn't come to me yet.

Dear sir, as deemed necessary by the site management, your name will be permanently changed to Fluffy Bumpkins. You have 24 hours to provide us with a better alternative.

I forgot to come tell you guys about my horrid first names; actually went through three: my 5 year old name "pieloverz" (yikes), my second less dumb but ultra generic "DJ Dystopia", and now my completely odd Senntenial, which I like quite a bit.

[Alecrazer]

Man. I was thinking what to name myself, and I made a wizard in a game named Alecrazer. So I am like fuck ya I am going to be Alecrazer. I think it sounds meh, but it also sounds different.

[CommandSpry]

We had multiple "how did you choose your artist name" threads, so please post your name stories there (:

[Captain Ironhelm]

Of course anybody just getting started making music in the brony music scene THIS late in the game is likely a bad decision too as there's a LOT of people to stand out from.

My goal is 10 subscribers!

Oh my goodness! Good thing I logged in today!

<Removed for the time being>

Yeah. And 4 hours 24 minutes to spare!

Appropriate for both MLP audiences and "outsiders". *sigh* I just want something snappy.

You'd be amazed to know how many aliases Simon Berry has produced under. He's still one of the most respected name in trance production.

Aliases are a big part of dance music. They're actually incredibly liberating, because some aliases just tend to acquire certain tropes that listeners come to associate with your style. For instance, under my jex alias, most of the stuff I would prefer to release publicly is typlically more dark and cerebral, with a lot of acid influences, and any melodies that do arise are incidental, whereas aliases like Chimera and Sonic Rainboom have more flexibility in regards to melodic focuses.

[KillerAmp]

Im doing it right. Lol xD

No, you're not. A good nonpony name for a pony artist should reference something completely different, and then you act like the pony that would most likely appreciate the reference

[Jimmy]

I honestly have struggled to come up with a unique screen moniker for myself that hasn't sounded cheesy, derivative, or just downright awful, for the 6+ years I've been on the internet. Jimmy is just an informal version of my actual name (James).

MLR community, please assist.

Bombed.

Doctor McKebab WubDrop Remover. It has a nice ring and unappealing quality to it!
DMKWDR for short.

[Kagetori]

I go by E9P3 because it reminded me of a butterfly in a certain font.
I was originally going to go with an overly thought out name like Artes Magicae, but I decided to just go with something that wouldn't make any sense to most people.

[Artimeus]

Took a gander at this thread. My reaction:

[Legion]

I named myself after a place where hundreds of kids are eaten by alligators/crocodiles everyday...
how'd I do?

I thought you were named after the pokemon Kyogre.

Close enough.
