Is getting to the point where real names are probably the best option, can't go wrong really, no matter who hates it, at least you didn't choose it

I don;t mind Dazzer really, although it does kind of make me think a bit of a wedding Dj at Skeg Ness

Check out the dazzer on myspace, he's even put a little circled r for "registered" after his name. Even i have to say that "dazzers" are potentially dodgy.

If I get time at work today I'll explore a few more da/x/z/k combinations.

We came up with the name Northern Spirit when we did The Pressure. And where did we get such a name from?

I love simple, impact names, Klaxons, Aphex Twin, Soulwax, these are great names IMO.
I'll give it a look. already read thru the periodic table and a list of Scrabble approved 3-letter words.

They call me dazzer.
How about Bedazzer? You can then decorate your myspace profile with beautiful glittery fonts.

Current possibilities:

rev dex
star dex

(also considering combining for a one-word approach or "xx" finish... also considering "tone dex" but maybe tone deft would sue...)

Nah, Arnold George Dorsey isn't very funky, is it?
Play with your real name and try combinations :

ArDosey
ArGeDo
GeDorsey
ArnSey
Arn
ArnGe
GeDo
Rsey

There is a lot of quite cool possibilities

By the way, I'm not english, so sorry if i don't detect any slang or offendant word...

Just to clarify for those who missed the joke, that wasn't my real name I gave.

In a shock update, I actually decided on a name but trying to register on myspazz has been a total disaster - I register, it accepts, I try to customise the page and it logs me out. Subsequent visits to the page show that the account has been deleted. Not exactly a smooth user experience and i don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Maybe there's a problem with myspazz, guess I should leave it alone for a few hours and start again.
