Artist Name Ideas

We found it very difficult to try and find a name that we all agreed on and to find a name that we all thought suited our artist who is a soloist and the genre. This a list of names that we were considering:

1) Ohlala- This name seems iconic and modern, when researching Ohlala we found out that the phrase is used in perfume adverts such as Chanel and we was not sure if we would be allowed to use the name due to copyright reasons. We felt it would be more suitable for a band name so we did not pursue with this name.

2) Iris- We found this name using search engines such as Google by typing in unique names to try and find a name that will be noticeable. When researching Iris we found out that it is a flower which conforms to the pop genre as feminine and girly. Although, this name is interesting it does not conform or challenge our age range in pop genre, we then decided not to continue with this name.

3) Pink Poison- We liked this name because half of name conform to the pop genre 'pop' and the other half challenges the pop genre artists and it seems 'rocky'. We thought this name was unique and intriguing because there are no artists called Pink Poison, however we later realised that a Cheerleading Squad is called Pink Poison and we did not want our artist to be associated with them nd the name seems more suitable for a band.

4) Crystal Rocks- We finally settled on calling our artist Crystal Rocks because it seems like a first name and surname which conforms to pop artists within our age for example, Miley Cyrus, this name could further our audience because of it's catchy name. The artist name could be spelt in two different ways such as Crystal Rocks or Crystal Rox which seems modern, however we have not decided on how we want to spell the name. When researching the name we found that out that a Christian group, a water bottle company, a high fashion organic clothing range and a T-shirt company are called Crystal Rock, so we will have to spell our name 'Rox' to make us stand out and not be associated with them. Although, there is a band called Crystal Castles they are in the electro genre. The name could be interpreted as crystallised rocks or the artist is innocent which contrasts to rock. The name conforms to the pop genre 'crystal' which is glamorous and expensive this makes the artist seem iconic and rock challenges the pop genre.
