How do I come up with a good/clever artist name for myself?
first thing on your right hand side
Take your favorite object/place
Take your favorite color
Take your favorite movie/anime
combine the 3.

Be creative. Don't think green, it's not creative.
Latin/Greek roots ma nig
They're fucking gold
I said this in another thread, and I'll say it here.
Take the name of the closest street to you that you frequently walk down, and use it or some variation.
The one nearest me right now is Lennoxvale or Lennox for short. That sounds weird enough to be some online handle or whatever.
Combine an adjective with an animal name.
For example: IndigenousDodo

Fantasy fictions places names for me
Privilegiate weird written form like Ljösalfheim or Hvergelmir
problem is that it's a bit hard for an URL, pro is that it sticks to mind (even if in abstract form)
"this artist is cool, but i can't remember his name, something nordic"
>>2458436
your first name + space + your surname
anything else is cringey and retarded
>You'll never think of a name cooler than FiRez.

Do a research on mythology. There are not only those generic greek gods names, some folklores have some pretty cool creatures and other things as well.

Pick a name that is easy to remember, for example if you meet a stranger who's interested in commissions at a con or wherever, you should be able to say your name and the person should be able to spell it out on his own.
The easiest way to succeed at this is by picking words that are already in the English dictionary, or a common name with a word.

Probably what I'd go for, my real name isn't that exotic and yet people typically cant pronounce it, nor would they remember how to spell it. Using your real name works best for people with names that are easy.

Names are 100% personal taste, man. You're gonna have to just work through finding the one for you.
You have to start somewhere. Look at all the existing artist names you think are good/clever and break them down into the elements you like in them. Is it certain vowels? Syllables? Theme? Joke? Find a word you like the sound of and try to combine it / corrupt it in a way that interests you.
Puns are pretty memorable but it's not easy to come up with a cool pun versus a cringey one.
this is how i found my name. you can click on the names and it says if the names are taken on different sites which is really useful

>Think of sounds you like
>Mash together syllables with said sounds
>Switch up letters
>Play with it until satisfied
>Check Google for other uses of the name
>If anyone/anything is using it, alter it and come up with something else
That's how I did it. Original but doesn't carry a meaning that I'll get sick of or that might not suit me in the future.

Name yourself after cancer (eg. If your name starts with "M", the word malignant could be your name).
