No this isn’t a link to a page where you put in your name and it returns some random name - this is a true mundane pointless question. Being a teenager I know I thought about being a DJ in high school, one of those almost mythical characters who teens talk about. I decided if I ever was a DJ I would call myself _Foxfire_. Do you have a DJ name? ---

No, that was DJ [Donna Jo] _Tanner_. Is that what Rootabega was trying to say? ---

I always figured I’d borrow one of the on-air names my dad’s friends used. My dad was a DJ for ages…starting in high school and on up until about 5 years ago. He has friends working in radio all over the country with some really spiffy on-air names they don’t use any more. Though at the moment, the only one I can remember is Ozzy and that’s definitely not an option. So it looks like… unoriginal variants of my real name! Woohoo! 🙂 ---

_Foxfire_ rocks. I like. I always figured I’d go by _Slake_. ---

I’m working as a Classical Show on WREK in Atlanta (The Georgia Tech station), and as the classical host I don’t use the DJ name but when I do another show which is more fitting I might go by my DJ name, we’ll see. ---

I think many of those DJ (whatever) names sound a bit generic and tired. I like many of those that dropped the DJ part and simply use one word [Sasha, Digweed, Beirhouz (sp?), etc.]. So Foxfire sounds cool, but DJ Foxfire sounds generic, IMHO. ---

I’m Flymaster V. That’s where the name came from, although I never have, and likely never will be, a DJ. ---

Oh, and here in San Francisco, at my favorite club one of the DJ’s goes by “Charlotte, the Baroness”. Kind of corny, but I like. But, if your a dude then that probably wouldn’t work. ---

**DJ Dschems von Damaskus** - after the co-founder of the first coffee house on European soil, Constantinople, 1554 (together with Hakim von Aleppo - my friend´s gonna use that if we ever do a double feature. If we ever get to be DJs, that is.) Anyway, DJ Dschems von Damaskus has a cool ring to it. Might change it to Dschems from Damascus when I go international. No, wait, for rocking the international house, it´s DJ universe.zip, definitely 😃 …oh wait, I just googled the first one - it´s “Jems from Damascus” in English. Naaah, I´ll stick with the German writing, it´s so much neater. ---

**DJ Dextrin** doesn’t sound too bad. My DJ skills however would definitely be too bad [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-your-dj-name/156882.md?page=2)
