I was luck enough square therapy wasnt taken. I'm a big fan of the name but it literally came to me in a dream. yeah i know. but just think of things you enjoy, even small stuff within the chiptune world and think of something kinda catchy. you'll get there! don't rush it!

my name is a video game reference (oh the shame!) but it's really obscure so I am probably a hipster

Just wait for the great moment of clarity when the perfect name just hits you. It'll probably happen in the shower, so maybe just take long showers or lots of them.
This is possibly the best creative advice I've ever heard.

I choose random things and erased a few letters, sounds retarded, actually... it works.

Coaltar of the Deepers
Foreground Eclipse
Black Dog Barks
N.H.F (Not Have Form)

take your favorite MK/SF character. now choose your favorite special from such character. Now decided what system you prefer. write out the button combo. BOOM. band name.
FOR EXAMPLE.
Mortal Kombat II
Baraka
SNES
Move = Shredder
BAND NAME = BACK BACK BACK B

if your band name is gonna be a video game reference, it has to be "hesoyam"

Listen to drunk people,
I got my name from a guy yelling about someone trying to take his "nuclace".

mainz, grmny.
If you do Chippytoons you absolutely need a cliché name like Sabrepulse (no offense, I like Ash) or Bit Shifter (no offense here, too, though I don't know him in person). You know, because the actual hype about Chiptunes is still about to come or at least still kind of in it's beginning. That's what I'd say at least.
Anyway, with a name like Bit Shifter or Sabrepulse, you'd be just what the Rolling stones are for Rock + Roll (no offense here, too, Micky bro).
So you should probably call yourself Sabrepulse.
Or Bit Shifter.

Thread over. Thanks very much!
Favorite examples from here:
BitDigital
AlphaMom
UnicornTaco
8BitKiller (although it's already a name of a game with a killer soundtrack)
MinusEyes
NoiseCore
ShiftBoy
NoiseRobot
NanoMan
Or you could always do SabreShifter or BitPulse.
