Once you've got some ideas, you need to actually test them out. Say them out loud. A lot. Does your name flow when you say it in conversation? Does it sound good when it's being chanted by excited fans at a concert? These things matter more than you think. Some names look cool written down but sound weird when you actually say them. Others feel boring on paper but come alive when you hear them aloud.

Get honest feedback from people you trust. Your family, close friends, people from your target demographic. Would they believe you as a performer with that name? Does it match your personality? Does it stick in their memory? You want people to be like 'Oh yeah, that's perfect for you' rather than 'Um, why did you pick that?' Also check if your name works on social media handles — can you actually get @yourname on Instagram and TikTok? If it's taken everywhere, that's a sign maybe you need something different.

Do a quick internet search on your potential names. Make sure they're not already famous names you'd be constantly confused with, and make sure nothing weird comes up. Also think long-term. Will you still be happy with this name in five years? Ten years? It should feel timeless, not super trendy.
