How about your favorite color followed by your worst fear, and end with the word Galaxy.

Don't put a number in there, unless you want to look like you are a bad password.

Anything you pick which you think is cool/ funny, if you are lucky enough to find any success, will seem painfully uncool the 16,769 time you have to explain it in the year 2025. So no DJ Lexington Smoothbass, no DJ GapingFartbeest.

Construct syllables into words, random syllables. Google the best ones , if not taken, grab it.

Just do what the Butthole Surfers did. They kept changing it to whatever they felt like while doing various gigs, until one day they were introduced on stage as "Butthole Surfers", which was actually one of their songs, and not their name. But, it stuck, and the rest is a little bit of music history.
