So what rule thumb would/did you use in using a name that's already taken (ie: how long its been since they made a track, level of their success, tracks they've released, closeness in genres, etc.)?
And another question that's probably already been done a thousand times: how did you get yours!

Closeness and genre and shit dont matter if their legends... No taking QBert, no taking J.Dilla, no taking Jackal n Hyde, leave DynamixII alone, ect. On and independant level its more about respect and shit, and number of releases/listenrs lol.
Really man there are plenty left, just think harder.
Mine? Old shit from when I was a kid into phones/networking... Just got abreviated and stuck through.

I made mine from the way I produce. When I'm feeling like it I'll just improv on a piano settings and save scraps of what I like, then patch them together later when I don't feel very creative.
Given that you're also from the great white north I'd recommend something to do with that. Longjohn Sketch, Wool Sock Delight, Iceballs, or Toquemaster G to name a few. You could probably even venture into some Canadian cinema. Randy Lahey, Raveen, and Sunnyvale Parks are all solid names as well.

Pick anything, you will make your name by making mint tunes. I think I remember reading in Reso's Q&A he picked his name because it looked cool when he wrote it, Akira Kiteshi thought he'd be able to get a gig in japan with his. Your name could be Alpacamilkpoop, if your tunes are sick your name will be on peoples mind.

I think the closest I've ever found to mine is "KeseK" Which I was surprised by.
I like to use different part names for machines and stuff, be them real or fictitious, generally they're quite catchy and not a lot of people do it on the same things so you're alright.
