I've always never thought my real name sounded like a musicians name....well maybe a country musicians name. I've been using just Gavin K just for now but I need a better stage name. My real name is Gavin Knowles so thats why I used Gavin K some names I have considered... Gavin Johanson (using my mother maiden name) Gavin Erskine (using my middle name) thats all I got. only thing my parents would be devastated if I changed my last name. I don't have any nick names to chose from. I guess I'm just plain all boring. also I feel a stage name should reflect a musicians style or genre. I've studied jazz but I play mostly rock.
Gavin Knowles sounds like a musician name to me. I share a name (first and last) with the Cranberries' bass player
How about: Gavin "G-Man" Knowles Gavin "G-string" Knowles "Brown Note" Knowles "Horse Hung" Knowles Gavin "I Can Lick My Eyebrows" Knowles Bluesy Soul
thanks for the ideas. keep em coning. I got to go catch my flight to Australia now. will check back later. thanks.
There was once a bassist who could not decide between using John Wise (his girlfriend's last name) or John Allison (his girlfriend's last name. He wound up calling himself John Entwistle, just like his parents did. That sounds less like a musician's name than Gavin Knowles,IMO.
Gavin Knowles sounds like a bass player's name if i ever heard one. Sounds a little like a bass player you might have heard of Noel Redding. I was blessed with the Stage ready name Duke.
My real name is Ronald MacDonald Yea, yea, get it out of you system. In Scotland a name like that is near royalty. 20-years ago someone called me Mickeyd. It stuck.
Offence taken. Of course. Try to think up something new I haven't heard. You run into a lot of lame uncreative SOB's when you got a handle like mine.
well i want to say go by gavin erskine in homage to fred erskine, but really i think gavin knowles is fine.
That's not what the profile states. Interestingly, I beoieve the default setting is male, so for it to be female requires conscious effort. W/e- I've known for years that I am a lesbian(a HOT one, too )trapped in a man's body. On topic- my *default* rocker name(or metal band name)suggestion is always 'Liberace' Imagine how awesome you'd need to become to play under that name w/a straight face. Have fun in Australia, Sheila.
dude.......kay(e) just seems so obvious.....not that it's going to make much difference what name you use......i won't bother to alert the media.....
At least everyone that meets you remembers your name. That is the part that matters. Marketing fundamental. Any reason for someone to remember you or your product is a good thing. Even if its for a comical or bad reason. At least you are known. -Rav
