Is it too late to change my rap name?

Postby MistaVijilantee » Jun 28th, '14, 03:23

As so me of you know I'm a rapper & I go by the name of Vijilantee.
I thought of this name when I was 10 or 11 and I've been going by it ever since.
I do think it's a cool name but from a marketing perspective I don't think it's that great purely because I changed the spelling around - so when someone says after a gig or whatever 'let's check out him on FB or YT' they can't find me which results in me losing potential followers.
Quite a few people locally know me from performing around the area under that name but at the same time there are plenty of people that have heard me, liked what they heard and have been unable to find me.
Anyway, I've got a new song coming out in a week or so I was thinking of using that to help launch my new 'rap name', at present I'm not sure what too call myself.
I've asked a few people - mainly friends - and they like the idea of me calling myself 'Atticus' - I thought of it because it's one of my middle names and it sounds cool I guess.
Or if another name comes too me in a few days I might decide that.
Thanks to those who took the time read this, and I'd appreciate your feedback or thoughts :wave:

I'm getting pretty mixed opinions on this - asking friends, family etc - and I'm leaning towards 'Atticus' because it has more meaning - it's one of my middle names - and is far easier to spell and/or remember.

Yep too late. Once you choose a rap name, you're stuck with it.

I was thinking I could make another Facebook page and call it 'Atticus aka Vijilantee' just so people that already know me as Vijilantee can still make that connection, ya dig.
But I'll go by Atticus because it's shorter.
And eventually I'll remove the Vijilantee thing when I reach a certain level - if I ever do of course haha.
Is this idea any good? Tryna find some middle ground.
Cheers :b:

Names don't matter that much lol


In this case they do.
True Wiz is easy to remember and easy to spell.
If you heard the name 'Vijilantee' without knowing who I was - or seeing it written you wouldn't spell it the way I spell it right?

Look at all the other Aussie rappers eg. Drapht, Seth Sentry, Illy, 360, Kerser, Remi, Allday, Horrorshow

They all have easy to remember names. I'm not sure if Atticus is that easy.


True enough.
Although both Seth Sentry & Kerser have more unique, obscure spellings, do you think I called pull of Vijilantee?

I've considered this but I think it takes away the originality I put in the name 'Vijilantee'.
Like the name is an acronym, it has meaning yada yada.
Which rappers are you getting on your EP bruh?
