Please help me make a name for my OC

         Hello every-pony, I am new to the forum so if I happen to do anything that doesn't fit just let me know ^-^.

I was hoping if any-pony could help me come up with a name for my OC.

 

         He is a he. He is a Pegasus and he wears a neon green headset with a golden "P" on each ear piece. His cutie mark is a spinning record with a double beamed note above it. (I think that's what it's called, it's been a while since I've played).

 

         His mane and tail are different shades of brown with a blonde outline. His coat is just a tad bit darker then Rainbow Dash's. His eyes are light blue.

         

         He wears neon green, blue and white sneakers/ canvas shoes. (idk what to call them).

 

         He also time to time can be seen in Silver framed, Aviator glasses.

 

Most importantly he is a DJ with the stage name DJ Kyl-3. Any help is appreciated

   Thanks!

 

Here's a picture I drew of him, (not to sure how to spoiler tag something on this forum yet, sorry).2jb14er.jpg

The key to coming up with a good OC name is all down to getting your character nicely rounded and complex. Then you can dig deep and make a name that really rings true to them, and sounds perfect.

 

In the MLP universe, double word names are very common, like Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash, but if you can find just one word that suits them, even better! Because it will then make them even more unique. You want to steer clear of boring or cliche words like Neon, which is a good word to use in your name but has been overplayed so much that it's become a little oversaturated.

 

Instead, perhaps research some modern music and look up different electronic instruments. The best way to think of a quick name is to make the cutie mark and figure out his special talent, then base the name off of that. For instance, in this case his cutie mark is a disc with a double quaver above it. Wait...Double Quaver rolls off the tongue quite nicely, AND it's a musical not. Or, if you don't like that, focus on the disk. I'm assuming it's a laser disk? Why not have the name be Laser Disk or something of that nature?

 

Nouns are really really good for names, funnily enough. But, since we're in the pony universe, you can also use adjectives. For instance, Perhaps instead of Neon it could be Bright or Flashing or maybe even just a colour, and after you have your adjective you can have a now. For instance. 'Sassy Saddles' follows the formula of Adjective-Noun. 'Daring Do' is sorta the same thing.

 

Whatever you decide on, you've got to make sure your character has a personality and a drive so that they can be interesting enough to have earnt their title of 'Neon Bright Flashing Blue Lights' or whatever you may choose to be their new name.

Thank you for the awesome advice, your poetic personality surely lives up to its name!
