I'm Dj'ing for a few months now in some clubs in my town and as more and more people know me I think it's time to find a new name. Until now I played just under the name Dj Marcello. As I am not that creative I didn't really found a great-sounding name.

I think many of you ARE very creative, so it would be great if you could help me.

I thought of something like:

Dj Marcello Casque (which means earphones in french)
or
Dj Marcel Platine (which means turntable in french)

What do you think?

Any other suggestions?
 
Marc Ello.

John Plantweed

I give up.....
 
I would ditch the 'dj' and call yourself 'marcello'. Coming from someone who hasnt really heard it before i think it sounds good. I think people spend too much time worrying about what to call themselves, i'm just as bad!! It sounds boring to you because you've heard it all your life, but to me it sounds pretty fresh :)

But.... Is marcello a particularly common name in austria? If it is then I spose you will need to change it.

The worst 'serious' name i've seen is 'DJ Ben'.... It would be better to just have your full name on the flyers than that. Looks like he's a party/wedding dj!

I prefer the look & sound of someones full name (or stage name) without the DJ in front of it. Eg FRANKIE KNUCKLES ... MARK SUN ... STU HIRST ;)

Originally I'm called MARCEL, which is a french name(I think my parents like france :?: ;) ), but most of my friends just call me Marcello.

my second name is really hard to spell for some people so it wouldn't be a good idea to include it into my name.

What do you think of

Marcello DuPont ???
 
id keep it as marcello.
simplicity is genius as the great pele once said.

and his full name is edson erantes denacimental or something like that ;)

I'd agree with this, yeh, yeh, I know I'm called DJ Soulman on here. But, ONLY here, on other sites I'm just Soulman but someone had already used it here (was to avoid spam on the t'internet). I NEVER use this for DJing I use my own name Les Scurr which is unique enough for me.

Last year I had some jingles professionally made in the USA for my residency 'The Stateside Sportsbar' (American theme bar) and myself (pack of 10 cost $200). I had them done with DJ Les Scurr (I know, cheesy, I use mine vary sparingly, mainly use the residency jingles all the time). After hearing them I then spent the next coupla days editing them in Soundforge to remove the DJ bit. I personally thought the DJ part sounded a bit too pretentious. They definately sound better. 8)

Got them from here for those DJ's interested in jingles;

One of my local pub/nightclubs has just announced a refit and a new target market, 18 to 21 year olds. They claimed they had all the best well known DJ's in this market and produced a list in the local paper of 6 or 7 staff with DJ in front of their Christian name (they're actually barstaff told to bring their CD's in as they're DJing tonight and will get paid an extra 5 quid 8O ). SERIOUSLY!!! It all sounds so corny and looks it in the local paper. What a joke!!!

Maybe I should use the family nickname 'Scursy' for DJing. :?: Anybody any comments?

agreed, it does sound a bit pretentious these days. The average joe seems to think the word 'DJ' is 'really cool' so its become a bit of a cheesy statement to make and as though you're trying to be mr.cool! :lol:

I'd say stick to Les Scurr rather than changing the surname. Your name kinda rolls off the tongue as its only really two syllables all together. Works for me :D

If anyone wants a custom jingle i can knock one up for nowt and i'll make it house orientated. Recently found out i have one of those 'voiceover voices'!!
