Members Chordite Posted February 8, 2019 Members Share Posted February 8, 2019 A bit of fun here and I'm curious You all know Marvin Lee Aday, Chaim Weitz, Richard Melville Hall, and (omg) Elgin Baylor Lumpkin. But not as those names . I don't hate my name but it is already taken by a very famous musician. Whilst fame has eluded me I got to thinking what name I might choose? And what would fit my music, (intentionally contrary to the few odd bits I have posted here I am Jazzy, Trip Hop, Ambient rather than 'song' based) But What would you call yourself? preferably along with your general music category Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil O'Keefe Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I always thought John Doe was brilliant, but it’s taken. I’ve played with both Steve Miller and James Taylor... but not “the” Steve Miller or James Taylor... A buddy refers to me as Red Fontaine from time to time, so if I was going to use a alias, I’d probably consider that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm Gig Young already taken... what is opposite of "the edge"? (always hated that name). The opposite of the edge is the center, i.e., the part that'f farthest from the edge. Maybe Dead Center?

Yeah, after all the public might not know the difference between popcorn and musical instruments. Reminds me of Chik-Fil-A suing a guy who made "Eat more kale" t-shirts because consumers might be confused.
