    Ok Guys ....

    My Real name is Barry McGuire but there is already a famous musician called Barry McGuire who dominates the search engines. So for marketing purposes I have to change my name so that people can find me easily if there looking for my music. It is also imortant that i can get www.myname.com as i will be building a site and brand around the name.

    I wanna keep my first name so people can still call me Barry. I have narrowed it down to 2 to make it easy for you guys to help.

    Barry Shock : I like this as it's unique. There is no other Barry Shock, it's short, simple, easy to remember spell etc....barryshock.com was also available to register :)

    or

    Barry Marcello: I like this as my initals remain BM and i sign most documents using BM. It sound kinda cool and it is acan actually be a real name not like Barry Shock. barrymarcello.com was also available to register :)

    So discusss. I'd like to hear your opinions.

    Also you can check out my music video to get an idea of my style of music.

    see it here

    A very confused person trying to discover who he is ha...

    Would you consider Barry Chuckle as an option? It's light-hearted but memorable and sounds like it could be a real name. Also, I haven't heard it used before in show business. I'd prefer Barry Chuckle to Barry Shock as it sounds more friendly - Shock is a very harsh-sounding word. Marcello is just too forgettable as a name.

    Barry Chuckle ftw!

    or getting rid of barry altogether?

    I think of the Dubarry shoes, don't think that would work!

    You say Billie Barry and I think Billie Piper.

    I have a two hour bus journey home so I'll brainstorm later!

    I Just thought of 2 other names.

    Busker Barry

    or

    The Busker Boy

    What you think of one of these????

    I so allot of busking in Dublin and these just came to me...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 469 ✭✭GoldenTickets


    Ok, I'll give you a few more ideas, but if you turn these down that's it, you're not getting any further suggestions from me:

    Busker Keaton
    Barry Christ
    Hi My Name Is Barry Marcello, I've Come To Entertain You
    Barry Swing
    The Cranbarrys
    Barry Against The Machine
    Puff Barry
    Barry On Camping
    Barrydeth
    Ace Of Baz
    Aircraft Barrier
    Bazmanian Devil
    Razamabaz
    Bazamataz
    Marcello Tower
    Marcellophane
    Busker Bruscar
    Busker Rhymes
    Barryophonics
    Barried With Children
    AC/Barry
    Marcel Marcello
    Barried Away
    Marcello Boys!
    Barrier Jump Jet
    Bazzy Jeff
    Bamber Gascoigne In Conversation With Barry Marcello

    I think that last one really has a ring to it, but you might have to get permission from Mr. Gascoigne if you want to use it.

    You're welcome!

    Busker Du
    Marcello less Cowbell
    Bruscar Busker

    Barry Soft?

    Because in that video you're walking just like Mr. Soft from Softmints.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,137 ✭✭✭Monkey61


    To be honest they all sound a bit rubbish to me.

    I don't know what it is with solo artists using their first names...but it instantly conjures up a specific type of music for me and if I don't like the sound of their name, I am unlikely to give them a listen.

    I like Shock, but it doesn't go with Barry. Marcello is just a bit random and doesn't really seem to have a purpose. Barry Marcello sounds like a hairdresser.

    I think the best solo artist names are either totally plain and ordinary sounding ie. Michael Jackson, Bob Dylan, Dave Matthews or are completely different and non-name like ie. Simple Kid, Badly Drawn Boy, Aphex Twin, The Streets etc.

    The busker boy is awful too. As is Busker Barry - both sound like a crazy character in a teen comedy novel.

    Barry Antoinette.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11 barrymarcello


    Some good points there Monkey61

    Maybe i should just drop my first name all together.....

    I used have nick name 'shock' a while back so that how i thought of it.

    I think i'll drop the Busker idea too..Allot of people are saying it just sounds cheap...

    Back to the drawing board.
