Trying to break into the music industry? If so, you’re gonna need a killer stage name. These seven pseudonyms will propel you to the top of the charts quicker than a Wesley Snipes movie goes straight to DVD. And with a handle like Ginga Vitis, you know I speak from the heart.
- Jay Walka – With this name comes immediate street cred.
- Tape Worm – Be more ill than a parasitic worm.
- Ash Tray – Bring the nasty on a nightly basis.
- Mouse Pad – This name has international superstar written all over it.
- D.J. Tanner – The perfect homage to Danny Tanner’s eldest.
- Lil’ Dipper - Aim for the moon, that way, even if you miss you’ll still be amongst the stars.
- Kibble ‘n Bit – If Bamboo Forest and I were a rap duo, this is what we’d go by.
Funny stuff here
I like Jay Walka. It’s got attitude. I can see him… or her sashaying across the stage just like John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever. Kibble ‘n Bit was good too!
How about this one? Lip Sink – Fake it till ya make it
Cool names, dude!
The names stars come up with are great: did you know Michael Caine was christened Maurice Mickelwhite?
Not a lot of people know that!!
Some cool names…I think tape worm could stretch to a long novel!!
When I was in junior high my friends and I had a club called “The Smarty Pants”. I wish I’d known you back then so that you could have helped us out with a better name
Haha. I need a stage name. Vered DeLeeuw just doesn’t cut it, does it.
Yet another great post! I think Ash Tray is my fave. There nothin like bringing the nasty, night after night, ha ha ha. Santa Claws could be a good one, too, at least during the Christmas holiday season, and In Sin Sear might be perfect for a devilish trio act.
I think my street named would be DJ PB&J, or maybe Dr. Deviled Eggs, I’m undecided.
Hi FlyingLlamaFish – Who would be Kibble and who would be Bit?
Davina: Lip Sink is a good one!
Scott McIntyre; Thank you! I did not know that. Maurice Mickelwhite is quite the name.
BC Doan: Thanks!
Marelisa: My mentor, Herbert is working on an operational time machine. I promise that if I can arrive in that time period, that I will help you come up with an excellent name for your club. You have my word.
Vered: Vered DeLeeeuw ain’t half bad.
Tabbie: Thank you! I would certainly not mess with a guy that goes by Santa Claws.
Jamie Simmerman: Those are both excellent handles for sure!
Barbara Swafford: My brother and I must engage in some talks to figure out who would be who. I will get back to you.
Hmmmm….how about these: Flying LlamaFish and Bamboo Forest?
LOL! Number 1 is da best!!!
I really like “D.J. Tanner” because a) I might go into the DJing business when I’m older and b) Full House is a classic when it comes to TV sitcoms.
I find it fascinating that working under a different name goes back quite a ways. Benjamin Franklin wrote as a prudish woman “Silence Dogood” when he was just sixteen, and Samuel Clemens sometimes wrote as “Mark Twain.”

I think all the ladies will dig Mouse Pad.
-Chips
Kibble ‘n Bit is stealing our thunda!
-Dip
I was called Baby Face in high school by a few and then the real BabyFace came out and stole my name, my glory and my millions!!!!
Evelyn Lim: Those are our birth given names!
Daniel Allen: You will probably make it big with a name like D.J. Tanner.
SpaceAgeSage: It is fascinating that talented people have chosen to go by pseudonyms for centuries.
Chips N Dip: I welcome you both to the P.I. Universe!
Natural: That no good name thief!
