DJ Name Stolen?

DJ Name Stolen?
Posted on: 04.09.2011 by Lizzie Hoesley
BEFORE I GOT IT.

Don't you hate it when you just figured out the perfect moniker for yourself, and find out that either it's insanely popular as a name in music, or that it's taken by someone famous?

I just realized today that my grandfather always used to call me "Bones" (still not sure why, he was usually a 6 pack or so in whenever I saw him ) but DJ Bones is taken by like 100 people, and djbones.com is taken too (by a photographer??? doesn't say DJ in the page, doesn't say "bones" in the page......whatevz)

I'll stick to what I have for now, but it doesn't quite feel like me - feels like a cool name I get to go by online. I believe I might be embarrassed to say it out loud to someone if they asked me... lol...

How many times have you changed your DJ name?

On the name topic here's my story.. My girlfriend kept saying that every time I go to "do something in the studio for a minute" I get sidetracked!
Had a quick google and found a sidetracked also the domain sidetracked.com was up for sale(

holy moly, I might just snag that idea

I used to go by DJ Paddy, then dropped the DJ part, there are thousand across the globe but I'm the only one with signed tracks in the stores

I only got confused once locally because there is a fairly known person that girl by Pandy (yes, stache and all, I'm was mistaken with a chick).

Random dude: "Hey you used to spin hardcore didn't you? what turned you mellow?"

My mom gave me my DJ name (Delay) when I was 14 years old because of my ADHD/ADD and my delayed response time to everyone's questions. It wasn't until recently that I noticed a few others (in Europe if remember correctly) were using the name as well. The other dudes are in a completely different country and play completely different types of music than I do so I didn't worry about.

If you find a name that speaks to you then grab it. DJing is huge and someone else is bound to pick the same name you've got unless it's pretty unique. If you're more of a Hip Hop/Turntablist DJ like myself and end up with the same name as someone else you could always battle them for it .

None, because I use my own name. There are some other DJs that have the same surname though as I'm sure it's relatively common (more so in Wales)

From 1991 to 1999 I was known as DJ T-Love. But I ended doing my gigs and focused on my IT career. Since then someone took my name in the area, so if I were to ever go pro again I would go as ParisCreative.

I like the new name more than my old name. Old names seems a bit dated and cheesy.

Found out someone else had my DJ name about a year after I started using it. SC/FB dates imply that I had the name first, but neither of us are blowing up so I believe there's room for two.

I changed from tekki to Leslie Jones.

There was a d&b dj in the UK taking off going by the same name, that and the fact that I wanted to be a bit more mature by name made me decide to switch name.

just use it. who cares..? if theres 10 other dj bones in philly consider something else. but if you're the only one in your area with the name its not gonna matter a shit.

you could always just put your real name in front of bones eg. johnny bones
