I had to come back to this topic just to say that I'm still laughing about Bert Shefter.

My name is apparently used as shorthand for microdermabrasion. That's all I've got...

I don't know which is worse, that I was hoping for some seriously entertaining trolling throughout this entire thread, or that I actually read the entire thing. ::facepalm::
P.S.: At least Bert Shefter made it all better.
P.P.S: Hey, it rhymed!

John Cale has been forced to change his name due to excessive similarities with John Cage, his subsequent works will be released under the moniker 'Infinity Strum'.

I used a random fantasy name generator, then tweaked it a bit, so I seem to be pretty safe at the moment

I recently had a NYC Rap-Core band confront me about my name "xombie". After showing them my myspace being active since 2007, and theirs only since 2010, they've stopped emailing me. I am also applying for a Performing Artists trademark. If you can manage to trademark your name before the other party, there shouldn't be any further confrontations. There are other trademarks under "xombie" but none for performing artists, there's an animated series, and a book.

There's some movie with the name "Here... My explosion" or something equally bizarre which I can for the life of me understand why anyone'd ever name a movie like that.
But as far as musicians/bands go, I mean, explosion is a very common word obviously so there's gonna be a few around using that. Doubt anyone else (that's googlable at least) has done the "my.Explosion" specifically as a band name/musician handle so far tho.
