Help me pick my name for singing career, need opinions??!?

Question

Well, my real name is Veronica. I want my satage name to be Verotica. I am really feeling that name and I have been already using it. I just don't want it to limit me as to what type of music I can sing and where I could sing and who my audience would be. Do you think the name is more important or the talent. I have a great singing voice and a sexy image, but not trashy. I dance and I really get involved with the audience. my other choice is Varonika. There are too many others using Veronica.

Answer 1

Honey, what ever suits you. It is your world honey, besides I think Verotica has a sex appeal to it. It is very different and I bet it fits your image.

Answer 2

for my opinion, dont use Veronica, coz otherwise ur fans will be confused between u and the australian band, The Veronicas. Verotica got some...how 2 say...a lil sex appeal 2 it - erotica? i guess the talent is way more important than the name. sean kingston still using his name, not fully commercial one but hes got the talent, so hes quite a sucess.

well, try 2 use any nicknames that u got. but dont use a funny one, such as - sweetie bum bum. otherwise, a short form of ur name. for example stacy ferguson use fergie. and then, try 2 use a name thats quite...how 2 say...hidden? juz like t.A.T.u., an acronym of words which means that girl loves this girl in russian.

thats all i can think of. but first your talents are wayyyy more important. the name is the second one. so all i'm sayin, good luck and hope u let us some of ur musics later. good luck a lot!

Answer 3

From my husband who was in the business for over 12 years as a producer, owner of one of three studios in a city of 3 million, talent manager, and talent, the answer to your question is that it is none of the above. It doesn't matter what you look like, what your name is, or what kind of talent you have. It depends solely on who you know and what you're willing to do to get there.

As for a name, why change what's worked so far?

Answer 4

Hmm.
The decision lies with you.
Veronica is a great name and I like how you spelled it differently.
However, if you don't think people will catch onto it, then use something that would attract your attention if you were seeing/hearing it for the first time.
If I saw the name 'Varonika' it would seem different. And of course, it also depends on what kind of music you want to go into.

Answer 5

Verotica? Sounds like hardcore porn to me. Thats just me though.

You don't even need to have anything close to your real name. Most singers don't. You can make your stage name anything you want.

What kind of music are you singing to? Here's one for you: Stacy Swain or Lacey Swain. Sounds kinda country but, rolls off the tongue nicely and its a name that's hard to forget. Try making up a bunch of first and last name combos and see what feels good to you.

How about this one: Slarbotsky Blovine? HAHAHAH

Answer 6

My gosh. Don't alter Veronica. It is a really beautiful name and is not common in your field.

When Oprah first started, they tried to alter her name and told her she didn't have a name people would catch on to. She refused and obviously they were wrong.

Stick with your name! :o)

Answer 7

Keep it simple. How about Vera or V? The first name keeps the core of your real name. The second name (V) can be used as an icon, like U2. It can be a sexy icon also.

Answer 8

Verotica implies "erotic," so if you're planning to go towards a broader audience (since it might seem offensive to some people) then use Varonika. I personally like the second one better, since it looks and sounds better.

Answer 9

Véroniqué

Answer 10

Honestly, Verotica sounds like a stripper name. I would go with something like Vera Verani.
