Start by brainstorming freely without judgment. Write down anything that comes to mind—words you love, personal references, wordplay, even abstract concepts that resonate with you. Don't filter yourself at this stage; quantity matters more than quality. Next, narrow your list to 10-20 names that genuinely appeal to you and represent your vision. Then, evaluate each name against key criteria: Is it easy to pronounce? Is it available on social media? Does it align with your music style? Does it feel authentic to who you are? Does it have any negative connotations?

Once you have a shortlist of 3-5 top choices, test them with your audience. Share them with trusted friends, fellow musicians, and people in your target demographic. Get honest feedback about which names are most memorable, which ones stand out, and which ones feel most authentic. Sleep on your decision for a few days—sometimes clarity emerges with time. Finally, conduct thorough platform checks: verify social media availability, check trademark databases, and ensure no other prominent artists use the same name. Only after completing this comprehensive process should you commit to your final choice.
