Pseudonyme/ Bandname
hi, my name is yuki.
that´s japanese and means "snow"
i´m recording my first single-project and i´m desperately searching for a name, that workes for me as an artist as well as for the band i´ll be forming for live acts.
i need a name that includes snow (without pointing on drugs)- it´s a singer/songwriter- project, a little cynical, but sweet, influenced by straight rock and blues... any ideas? i need creative help, i´m stuck.

Note from asker:
| hi michael, thank you... the type of music is difficult to describe. every song is different, since it´s a collection of all the songs i wrote in the last years. there´s a punkrock song, a song, thats beatles-like. a bessie smith coverversion, a popsong, an arcoustic song... it´s really not really a "type" of music. lyrics are mostly in english...but most of the words (the ones i wrote) are a little cynical, as i said... but anyway thank you so far! keep on going.... yuki i could send you one though... |

Snow Star; Snow Crytal
Your screen name, Snowstar, would work nicely. Another possibility is "Snow Crystal." Look at the definition of "snow" from the Merriam-Webster Dictionary:
Main Entry:
1snow Listen to the pronunciation of 1snow
Pronunciation:
\ˈsnō\
Function:
noun
Usage:
often attributive
Etymology:
Middle English, from Old English snāw; akin to Old High German snēo snow, Latin niv-, nix, Greek nipha (accusative)
Date:
before 12th century
1 a: precipitation in the form of small white ice crystals formed directly from the water vapor of the air at a temperature of less than 32°F (0°C) b (1): a descent or shower of snow crystals (2): a mass of fallen snow crystals2: something resembling snow: as a: a dessert made of stiffly beaten whites of eggs, sugar, and fruit pulp <apple snow> b: a usually white crystalline substance that condenses from a fluid phase as snow does <ammonia snow> cslang (1): cocaine (2): heroin d: small transient light or dark spots on a television screen
— snow·less Listen to the pronunciation of snowless \-ləs\ adjective
With music, quite often we refer to a clear voice, or a "crystal clear voice".
Mike :)

Snow Star and Crystals might possibly work for the band name.

Note from asker:
| crystal would be very pretty, but i´m afraid that it could sound too narcissistic. -if i combine it with "voice"... but i like the dessert-idea. do you know any typical american desserts with snow (whites of eggs) in it? ;) |

Snowstorm or Snowball
How about headlines like "Snowstorm in Berlin!" or "Snowballing success: 1,000Kth record, 12th Grammy!"

BlueSnow
blues and snow...
Note from asker:
| BlueSnow is beautiful, but a little too melancholic. -and i don´t have such a powerful voice (like the great soul and blues queens)... i grew up with rock, punk, soul and blues of course, and i´ve been playing in several bands. my solo-project had always been in progress as a side-project. the names of the bands i wasin were: STRAHLER80 (like the german toothpaste in the 80´s /punkrock), MOST (german drink /art-music and dialect wordgames with a lot of jazz influence), KILL THE BUNNY (occasion was a hunter-ball / partysongs), ULF DIETER BAND, (also party) PERFECT BLUE (first solo-performance, the name appeared as title for a anime-movie, where the singer´s name was yuki), YUKI SUCKABONER (as guest singer with the band PORN TO HULA /pigrock) - we covered "bakerman" from laid back for a culture-project-sampler. that´s why the name suckaboner came up (you know the line: bakerman is baking bread, "sagabona" kunjani wena.) i´m not doing porns or something. huhu. and i´m in the band HUND (german for dog /pop, electronic, rock) so it´s very difficult for me to find a name... but please, keep going! BlueSnow is really good, i like the wordgame in it. |
