Needing A Name!

[Rachel Cockburn]

Hi guys,

 

I'm looking for a wee bit help here. I'm due to go into the studio in September to record a few songs and hopefully release and EP afterwards, but I really can't think of a name for myself! My own name is a bit guff, so I won't be using that. I'm looking for something that matches my sound, so nothing like "death avenger" or "fluffy fairykins" haha.. here's a link to my soundcloud if you'd like a listen, and if any ideas spring to mind then please do share them because I'm at a loss here!

Well, you know how porn stars came up with names?

Pets name + street where you live(d)  Really wouldn't work for me "Frisky Wildwood"

 

Your music sounds idyllic a introspective to me.

If you wanted to retain your local identity..... Mary Hill or Annie Land would be a nice play on things.

Got it.....

 

Jaynee Walker

 

Glasgow's most famous (I know they left town) export.  Johnnie Walker

Listened to 1st song. I immediately thought of...

 

Air

 

(Not enough?)

 

Mountain Air

 

('Air' is best though)

I would think a name like "Statuesque" would really fit your style.

 

* Statuesque

* Statuesk

* Statuesq

 

Any would work; it really rings alongside your music.

What HoboSage said. Some good advice right there.

 

 

Cockburn would actually make a pretty good name for a hard rock band though ...

"What are you watching?"

"Cockburn's newest video."

 

Not sure how I would react to someone telling me they loved Cockburn.

But it would be different.

hahahahah, oh dear.

 

I actually had my named changed by deed poll a couple of months ago (i couldnt be bothered with the excruciating jokes that i'd heard a million times before!) but for some reason it won't let me change it on this forum! so that's why i go by 'Coburn' on soundcloud, and everywhere else for that matter. I'm sure there is a death metal band out there with a similar name though haha...

 

cheers for your suggestions though, hobo i thought your advice was pretty sound BUT i still find my name (even the updated version) to be a bit boring, it doesn't really flow...
