Is the name Michael Ethan, Michael Ray, or Michael Dallas good acting names?

Question

My last name is Hermelee, and wanted a shorter snappier name? Any Advice?

Answer 1

actually I like Ethan Michael or Dallas Michael better

Answer 2

Michael Dallas sounds like a pornstar name (sorry). You also don't want to go with two first names that are never (or rarely) used as last names. Michael Hermelee would actually work better. Or Michael Ethan __________ (short last name)

Answer 3

Michael Ray Herm sounds cool.

Answer 4

No. Try Michael Douglas or Michael Bay.

Answer 5

Why be anything less than what you are? But if you want snappy, try Michael Delacroix, or Michael Re'neir, if you're looking for a Hollywood name, give yourself something different, something the ear is not accustomed to. It makes if easier for your audience to remember you.

Answer 6

Your choices are good, but a little trendy. Of the three, Micheal Ray might be your best bet. But that still doesn't quite work. A director might think, "Micheal Ray...who?" If the name of the street you live on isn't too outlandish that might be a good start.
Hope this helps!

Answer 7

I like Michael Ethan.

What about Michael Lee? or Mike Lee? Well, I guess that's too much like Spike Lee.

Answer 8

Wait until you join the unions before changing your name. Another actor may already have the name you want to use. Only one actor can use the name.

Answer 9

Your own last name seems to have more of a catch to it... a little zing. It seems unique. You could try variations in the spelling that could add to the flavor.

Ermele, with accent marks though.

Hermayli

Ermili

Ayrmele

Dude, you need new material. You've been posting these "what name should I pick?" questions for weeks now.

Time to move on.
