Looking for a new artist name, would love all opinions and input
Hey y'all, so I'm trying to change my current artist name(Low Nuns) into something else. I want to capture gothic and post-punk imagery with it(which I feel low nuns does capture) but I would like to do it with a legal sounding name instead of a band/brand sounding name if I can. I made a poll with some options but I'm not sold on anything currently. It's quite difficult finding a name that is actually available since almost every name has a musician or brand attached to it but I'd love to hear anyones input or ideas.The main goal is to find a name that is easy to say and pronounce that you'd proudly wear if it were stitched onto your jacket sleeve for the world to see. Brands like a A Cold Wall, Vetements, or Rick Owens and artists like Bauhaus, James Blake, Burial, Joy Division, and King Crimson all give off somewhat the vibe I am after.I'll probably take this post down if no one responds because I understand that a lot of the name discussions that take place here aren't really targeted towards this brand naming type of conversation. That being said, I would sincerely appreciate any thoughts.
Thank you!

The name Mona has been on my mind for some reason and I don't even care for that name!? So Mona Dexter, Mona Digby, Mona Luna

This is a good place to ask, so I hope you get some more suggestions!I am old and uncool so I don't really grok what post-punk is, but I sort of get what gothic stuff is. So I'll try my best to throw a few things out there, maybe it'll help:Ned Sherlock
Jude Ivy
Rhett Skelton
Bonthorn Manor
Hester Sundown
Byron Lillies
Lola Winterbourne
Winifred Yesterday
Loië None (inspired by your current name and the great Loië Fuller)
Valentine Jones
Saint Mechtild
Barrie Carroll
Edgar Why

I love these! I've never heard of Bonthorn before and I really dig the simplicity and ease of Edgar Why. I also really like the way you managed to turn low nuns into something new, super cool.
This is a good place to ask! The only thing I don’t listen to post-punk so I hope I get the vibe right!Puck Sommer
Nico Asano / Nicodemus Asturius Bass Dollman
Silas Derrick Antoine Farr
Lex Leon Midas
Carrosses “Ross”
X-Ray
Monteleone
Caristo Oh I presumed male.. here are some female options
Adrienne Mish
Antoinette HermanBrunhild Lowe
Ari Mao Velika Vandemeyer
Renata Stint Lucilla / Luce Delafield
Cate Carabuz Musette
Luce Delafield and Monteleone are definitely in the ballpark of what i'm looking for, I'm shook at y'alls creativity, it's really impressive! Adrienne Mish is cool too. I'm a 6'2 bearded male so a feminine name could be awesome for juxtaposition.
