I'm sure there's a thread about DJ or MC names, but how do you expect me to search for it. And I really wanted to post the one I thought of the other day:

MC Squared = E

I dunno about made up but Kid606 sometimes goes by the name DJ Seventy Year Old Woman.

― damian_nz (damian_nz), Thursday, 25 September 2003 01:01 (twenty-three years ago)

I've always thought DJ Hildegard Von Bangin' would make a great name for a happy hardcore DJ.

13 years ago I came up with

DJ Hence the Moniker

DJ Dinosaur Rodeo.

― David Allen, Thursday, 25 September 2003 03:03 (twenty-three years ago)

DJ Blogger

what about some MCs?

MC donalds

― A Nairn (moretap), Thursday, 25 September 2003 04:06 (twenty-three years ago)

How about some names which virutally guarantee the DJ will not be any good?

DJ Trancemonster

DJ Butterfingers

DJ Trainsmash

DJ Plonker

DJ Mental Yentl

― colin s barrow (colin s barrow), Thursday, 25 September 2003 04:16 (twenty-three years ago)

or that the DJ is over seventy years old?

DJ Ethel Primrose

There's a guy in Wellington who plays under the name DJ Love Bucket. He's much better than his name would suggest.

― damian_nz (damian_nz), Thursday, 25 September 2003 06:02 (twenty-three years ago)

DJ 40 Year Old Woman is my personal favorite.

― direct_program, Thursday, 25 September 2003 12:52 (twenty-three years ago)

A Helsinki pub used used to have a DJ called "The Hyvä DJ". "Hyvä" is "good" in Finnish. I guess he must've been good, then.

DJ Mental Yentl

How about the unforgettable Dutch happy hardcore duo, "DJ Charlie Lownoise & Mental Theo"?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Thursday, 25 September 2003 13:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm digging the names DJ Ham And Cheese On Rye and DJ Broken Window.

DJ Pica Pica-classic.

― Barima (Barima), Thursday, 25 September 2003 14:14 (twenty-three years ago)

there was a program on neo-nazis on pbs some years back in which one of the frothing white supremacists referred to television as "the electric jew." i've always wanted to use that as a dj name.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 25 September 2003 14:16 (twenty-three years ago)

DJ Boiled Mouse
DJ Amyl Right Mate

― Alan (Alan), Thursday, 25 September 2003 14:16 (twenty-three years ago)

DJ Weejay and MC Wemsy.

I always figured I'd use DJ Amtrax ("trainwrecks for free!")

As far as real DJ names, I always liked DJ Ungle Fever.

dj jeff koons puppy

― cinniblount (James Blount), Thursday, 25 September 2003 17:14 (twenty-three years ago)

My favorite of these was an actual one. Kool G Rap's deejay was named DJ Polo. When asked in an interview why he chose said moniker, his reply, utterly devoid of any hint of irony, was...."`cause like Polo [the clothing brand], I'm an original!"

That still cracks me up.

Many many years ago, my made-up DJ name (for a set of skills I still don't have) was DJ Fuck Off And Die. I just googled it and someone in Germany beat me to it in 2023.
