1. Take some things' name you like
2. Mix and match them together until it sounds good
3. Search google for said name to see if it's taken or not, or has meaning/connection to something you don't like to be correlated
4. If fail go to step 1, otherwise you are all set

1) Pick something without too many syllables, no numbers/weird characters, and especially no phonetic confusion/easy potential for misspellings (two vs too, words with doubled-up consonants,etc).

Examples of bad ones: BareMississippi_, CellMaid, Bee_Cerial

2) Make the name invoke the senses or be easily visualized, usually the more ridiculous the better. Don't pick something generic and weeblike if you can. Too many of those around.

3) Make sure it'll google up if ppl search it. Plus if you can buy web domains with it easily.

Of course though, if you become famous none of this really matters after the fact.

Should I use my last name only? As my artist name? I noticed that the giants of the world are known by their last names alone, and their business and brand is their last name. Trump, Versace, Ralph Lauren, Clinton, etc. The problem is the domain of my last name is taken and so is the instagram, but it’s just sitting there not being used for anything.

Thanks for this comment. I had indeed also been concerned about the difficulty of the name, trying to make something memorable that goes along with my first or last name, but all of it doesn’t emcompass me properly so I’m stuck with just using my name. What you said makes sense though.

I didn’t understand what you meant by finding patterns though? Can you explain?

A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT TO EVERYONE WHO HAS SPENT MORE THAN 6 COMING UP WITH A NAME: having a cool one is mostly for your benefit, you can become someone important even with a shit name. Zdzisław Beksiński is the face of surreal horror, even in countries that refuse to believe that's an actual name. Sycra has interviewed someone who calls herself 'Loish'. Fucking 'Loish'.

People will be refering you to that. It is your identity. Something that people want to know you for. This can be your own name or something that makes you, you.
>mix and mash by writing them down or by thinking of funny ways to remember it.
Names need to be remembered. If your name is too similar to another person's name, it'll be overshadowed. I recommend putting some of those names on instagram or twitter just in case.

Maybe you're bad at names, but maybe someone can help you with that. Who knows.

If OP goes with this route, he'll be catching the back of my hand. Be original and yourself, if you think your art is worth looking into and people need to call you by some name, then by all means ALLOW YOURSELF TO HAVE A CREATIVE NAME.

My name is one letter away from a minor game of thrones character but I came up with it when I was young and too lazy to bother changing it and rebranding. Now I have a decent following and my blog and art are the first things that appear when the name gets googled. The only issue is that google keeps saying “did you mean: [GoT character]” and the images tab shows the character first with my username under “search instead for”. Only one random person has actually associated me with the show though, and that was years ago. Should I just leave it that way?

Stop trying to become an "Artist", all the great artists of the past were craftsmen and were godlike because they honed their craft, they did not worry about shitty aliases.

I pissed off a professor. He wrote an email to the whole class calling me out via a corny nick name. For some reason I kinda found it funny and have been using that.

think about your full name, then take only either a few letters or a syllable from your first name, middle name and surname. With the few letters (or syllables) you've taken from your name, build yourself a cool sounding and unique username. It worked for me and the best part is that I don't have to fight people for it. Mine isn't taken in any other sites.
