Curious, George: What is in a name? DJ who?

So I do this modest little DJ thing at a bar, and people always ask me what my DJ name is. I really think most DJ monikers/tags/names are cheesy, and I never wanted one. Then I thought I could actually have some fun with the name. So, any suggestions? I am looking for some humor here.

  • Ummm... *looks at the obvious*
  • Not glamajamma
  • "Brachiating Primate"?
  • Naked Ape.
  • DJ Who - you've answered your own question. Now get back on those wheels of steel and drop me some funky beats! *dances like your dad at a wedding*
  • DJ Dr. Deferens
  • DJ Dixie Cup. DJ Cinco Peso. DJ Ooooooom (make sure to be ornery about the number of o's in that one). DJ Floor Wax ('cause, you know, you're spinnin' the wax and folks are dancin' on the floor and, uh, whatever). DJ Ceci-n'est-pas-un-nombre-du-DJ. DJ Harder Daddy.
  • DJ, Hang The
  • DJ Shrew.
  • My friends are: DJ Chablis (from the Premier Cru), and DJ Dogshit. The latter toyed with DJ Fascist. I also knew a DJ Carpetburn and a DJ Jonny Bounce. Whatever you do, put up a sign saying, "I get requests". Make sure you use that wording.
  • DJ Assmass
  • The Record Breaker? Tõn Def? Der Bingle? Gopherman Jacques?
  • TUM spins tunes as DJ Fishy Gangsta
  • gorgeousjunkie: it gave me DJ Rotten Record
  • Be radical and drop the "DJ" altogether. It is 2006 after all.
  • DJ Press Play
  • The only DJ friend I have that is at least semi-active is DJ Totentanz, but she spins, you know, hardcore stuff at clubs. The only DJ I knew at a bar was, well DJ Rick. Apropos of nothing, I say 'Naughty Spleen'. Because organs are always funny. (If I were a DJ, right now, I'd be DJ Isoniazid, mm, working in the TB ward.)
  • How about DJ Point and Click since I don't spin anything, or DJ Carpal Tunnel?
  • DJ Fickle Finger DJ Snidely DJ Hierophant DJ Volcano Boy DJ Repeater DJ Bananastan Bill DJ Homeslice!
  • DJ Dragon Drop? Heh.
  • DJ Gigglemesh DJ Beowolof DJ Thumpercracker DJ Noodle Spoon
  • You point and click. Call yerself DJ Mouse. easy to remember
  • DJ Breach (then throw water on them)
  • DJ Hello What is my Name
  • Heaven forbid a rapper or a DJ go by anything resembling a normal name. I would like to hear a rap group called the Charles Donovan Trio or something. Similarly, you could be known as Bucky Goldstein or something.
  • DJ Spotted Cow?
  • Rotten Record wins! It's post modern, dammit.
  • If my last name was Donovan I would go for that, but since it is Smith..... yearns for cool last name
  • DJ Squiggly Pants.... oooh lunch time.
  • DJ Nunia backtalk
  • DJ Aural Hershiser?
  • DJ KwntiiBwks
  • SB, that would be DJ Nunia Backbacon for those of you familiar with the beats I slapped down at the Sadie Hawkins dance in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1992. The girls asked the boys to dance! Such scandal! Ho down! There's a ho down here!
  • Yes there is! he says in his best Barry White impression
  • Not glamajamma Ok then, how's about DJGJ? Tongue-twisty, and you could make a custom outfit with a CBGB-esque logo.
  • I like DJGJ, Aural Herschiser (or Aural Robert?), Bananistan Bill (or just DJ Bananistan), and Snidely... Anything based on a Jay Ward cartoon is cool: Records J Squirrel DJ Dadenov (Badenov is too obvious) DJ Gidney DJ Cloyd DJ Wrong Way Peter Peach DJ Boy Sherman Hiphoppity Hooper DJ Wigglesworth DJ Raglan Tiger (from Crusader Rabbit - obscure!) Crusader Bunny DJ Tom Slick Baron Otto Matic DJ Supersauce (from Superchicken) DJ Upsydasium DJ Kurwood Derby
  • DJ Oscar! Er, I mean, wendell!
  • DJ Wick - burnin' tha midnite oil, yo My brother wanted to be DJ 8-bit but we nixed that. His name is Eric so we named him DJ 'Ricochet. He still hates the name. DJ Yul Brynner DJ Tipsay DJ Django DJ Dj (pronounced "deej") Doctor McDJ!
  • Oooooooh, I'm DJ Salty Storm. Nah, can't be bothered.
  • DJ Conner
  • DJ Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov
  • DJ Zion
  • So I do this modest little DJ thing at a bar ... Is the same bar each time? Have any of the staff ever come up with DJ nicknames for you? Is the bar's name useful? What about the street, or the neighborhood? If you're trying to be humorous, maybe local tie-ins would make the joke work.
  • DJ Booty (Djibouti? Geddit? Ar nivver moind...)
  • DJ Trogdor DJ Burninate DJ Homsar DJ StrongGlad DJ BearShark ...you get the idea...
  • DJ Big Knife DJ Limozeen
  • DJ Beowolof Hey!
  • DJ AM and then tell everyone "I had it first" or DJ ! (what does the ! stand for? Excitement!!!) or Dean J
  • dj wolfo?
  • DJ Trac! : )
  • DJ Tone Def
  • Nomen wins the thread.
  • Fixed! Fixed!
  • I like DJ Tone Def. I call a vote of Aye vs. Nays
  • make it DJ Tune Def and I'm in.
  • DJ Tanner heh
  • DJ Tone Def was chosen for the phonological ambiguity. Def is slang for great or excellent but sounds like deaf, and tone is slang for gun. However, I should have googled it before I posted. There is at least one DJ Tone Def already out there.
  • Yeah I saw that this afternoon, and he plays jungle........ Yucky! How about DJ Goats.ex
  • just came to me. CD being help by fingers goats.ex style?
  • I haven't found any other DJ Goatse.cx pseudonyms on Google, so it appears to be unique. Then there's this.
  • dj jaydee dj jaded dj mayday dj bj waxy max waxy trax waxy dargle
