I hope to become a singer/songwriter in the near future and I'm trying to find a name. I do not like my last name, but I'm willing to work with my first and middle name which is: Jenna Michelle. My genre is contemporary christian, nothing too edgy. I want something that will sound good on a CD and will give people something to notice.
Dragonflymagic answered Thursday June 20 2013, 3:16 pm: People will notice and resonate with just about anything after a while. Think about some of the bands out there. In bands, there is one using a vowel and a number as their name, bizarre. U2 is widely accepted and not even questioned as a name.
My girls when younger liked Christian singer Tammy Trent. You know Trent is not her last name but the first name of her deceased husband. That goes to show it doesn't really matter.
Lets look at some other female singers:
Amy Grant (simple and plain easy to say)
Jaci Velasquez (too big a mouth full)
Natalie Grant (musical sounding)
Next: homophones—words that sound alike but have different meanings
Michelle Tumes (I equate with Tombs in my head. Would have been better using middle name, Michelle Louise)
Carolyn Arends (I equate with errands.The middle name is Bernice, I dont like that any better) My focus is so drawn to the homophone like last name that I tend to forget the first name." Whats the first name of that Tombs singer or the Errands singer?"
and lastly
Jenna Michelle. Easy to say, rolls off the tongue and goes well together, musical. the only other name in my list that equals the quality of yours is Natalie Grant. You have a winner. Go with it. Blessing on your venture. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
