I'll give $20 to anyone who can help me come up with a name for my YouTube project; IT'S A SECRET TO EVERYBODY

Okay so I've mentioned this a couple of times in passing, but next month I'm going live with a YouTube idea of mine that I'd like to try and make a few bucks with. I hate my job and would love to cut back on my hours so why not give music one last shot with something unique that I already do for fun?

So what I'm doing is game music transcriptions with a live performance using a wide variety of instruments so I can avoid the typical 'HEAVY METYL BROMIXES' that this genre is already infamous for. The point of these videos will be to demonstrate my abilities as a musician (technical skills, transcription skills for sheet music/tabs etc.) while rerecording the songs with 100% accuracy in regard to the source material. Think of them as mini advertisements for a site I want to make where I would branch out into lessons, transcription services, and praying for Patreon bucks.

The problem I'm having is I can't for the life of me think of a good name. I've been over thinking this for months now and am drawing a complete blank so I need your guys help here. I'll fire off $20 via PayPal to anyone who comes up with a good name for me to use. For the record, I was going with 'Clef Hanger' until I saw some nerdy North Carolina college choir was already using it and some woman wrote a book about Jesus where she then filed a copyright on it.

I don't really have any prerequisites for the name so I'm down for anything you can come up with. Music puns are fine and so is anything related to gaming. Really all I'm looking for is something catchy.

Visually I'm going with the 80s Miami Vice Don Johnson look of the white suit, pastel shirt (yes port, I actually can pull this look off), and colored lighting. Again, the name doesn't have to reference this, but I'm not opposed to it and I figure mentioning it here could help out with brainstorming.

I think that's it. Here's hoping this topic actually gets a reply other than claw's suggestion of THE EROTIC MAN KISSING JERK.

I work in PR. Let me know when you get this launched. Happy to solicit tips, promotion pro bono.


My suggestion for a name: avoid gimmicks, use your real name. Call the show something if you want but it’s much harder to market an alias than a real human.

I think you should randomly have the two claw images located in our wonderful header on the forums pop-up and do the Mortal Kombat "Toastyyyyy" at select intervals.

^ Not too bad of a name Danal. Definitely my favorite of the bunch so far.

@cal Wow yeah, I'd definitely appreciate your help and am grateful you're offering up your real world marketing services. I'll keep you posted when I go live because PR is an area I'd really need some help with.

I have no issue using my real name, but I'd still like to call the channel/project something too. That's where I'm stumped. I also don't think my video will be able to support all those clawxco toasties without crashing.

@brat Man I'd be super down for that and seriously appreciate you offering up your services. I've seen your Fresh Prince & Family Matters crossover pic and know what kind of talent you possess. I'd be honored if you could help out in the art department and will come to you when the time is right for sure.

Keep 'em coming. I'm serious about paying up when I think a name is absolutely outstanding.
