kinda tricky in some respects and easy in some others.

I think the name you use is chosen by the same mind that is making your music, so I think whatever you choose will be representative of the person that are are and the sounds that you are making.

I spent a while pondering what to use... I didn't like how my real name sounds when you say it, and couldn't really think of any cool off the cuff stuff (actually I used Al Gore's Rhythm once... I kinda like bad puns). Well anyway, now I use the name of a character in a film that I like, and I like how it sounds when you say it and the film has a cool philosophy so it's ok (even if some other musicians are using it too... didn't think of that part! whoops).

EIther way I think your music is doing most of the talking anway so it's not too important.

thats such an awful, awful name, i think i might start using it.
what does it even mean? superb
its like when you were in highschool and the girl tells you she is technically still a virgin because it was only minimal penetration... like 15 seconds or something...
LOL! That is just an awesome name. Seriously, it's so lame that it's cool. Minimal Penetration. I will use it as a title, that's for sure.

How about the name Loco Motive? Is that something good?

Maybe Loco Motiv...

But avoid any use of Loco in your name, its already overused!

Yeah. It's funny, cause thats just a name i came up with for a song, i was thinking about loco dice and i like to play with words like that.
Same thing happened a few weeks ago, i was thinking about Ambivalent and i came up with Ambivalencia, you know the city valencia. Wonder who will be next

to knock downloaders at their own game you could go for a generic name and to make it even better you could name your tracks in the same vein so that a release from you with a name like "Batter" could be like

Batter - Celsius (a search on that would only result in cooking articles)

Batter - run ("" baseball)

What the hell's wrong with your real name?
