Great thread and really enjoying reading the comments.
Well mine is otnemem and basically is the reverse of Christopher Nolan’s movie title “Memento” - which is a story in reverse. I liked the movie and the name sounded cool to me. Sort of grew on me and stayed with it.
Being full of myself, i have many incarnations depending on the genres i try to regurgitate, Generally the names are either a hint on what to expect musically, the concept …or private jokes :
Neon Melk : Electronic Music.
n-Gon Arqestra : Baroque Jazz hip-hop thingie.
[the] Dunno Project : Everything is authorized.
The Cheat Code Conspiracy : Me trying to be Mr.Bungle without Patton.
Dorks on Steroïds : Cpt Beefheart and the Residents vibes all the way.
McCroskey Rehab Center Memorial : Another Beefheart inspired band with a dude i know.
Dead Men Kaos Arkestra : A Tim Burton-esque Jazz/Big Band/Avant guarde ensemble hijacked by an evil version of Spike Jones and a very drunk John Cage.
I’ll never be able to unsee the OK stick figure now.
Passed through Oxenholme on the train from Preston to Edinburgh visiting friends. Thought it was a cool name for a doom band but ended up using it for non-doom electronic stuff 
Now you just need to get famous so people will ask the residents, “oh! Like the band?!”
I’m gonna start a doom band called cow farm.
I wonder what’s more plausible, my potential fame or people actually visiting or leaving Oxenholme.
Co-headlining tour!
eaew - which was made up by my daughter and comprises the first letters of all of our first names in our house, oldest first (not me). I like it, it’s both meaningful and meaningless. I don’t know how to pronounce it, and it looks Welsh (I’m Welsh).
I’ve since discovered it’s also (or was) a governmental acronym here in the UK.
Solo:
even mind
From even minded. I like the sound and feel of it and I myself am mostly quiet settled inside 
Band:
Pommes Hawaii
Pommes is German for french fries / chips.
And yes, we do sing a lot about potatoes, pine apple and gouda 
Memento is one of my all time favorite movies! Nice 
Haha, just thought this was your artist name “co-headlining tour”.
Way ahead of you.
Been thinking about meaning behind your name just few days ago on some thread… Nice. Would try…a half.
I never touch ‘em anymore. After a few years I’d get all blasted today but tomorrow I’d be left feeling mega weedy but not high at all. If that makes sense. Anyway I got to where I really hated that feeling so it had to go. I get it from pretty much any amount of any edibles at this point. No worries though. It’s a fine life :0)
Hehe, not a bad idea. Which sorta sideways reminds of a local band when I was in school called Gratis (for free) which always caused some (very intentional) confusion on flyers
I made some music under name Kākāpō. I was interested in endangered species at the time I was choosing it and this is very interesting non-flying night parrot from New Zealand. I started playing classical guitar on street wearing a bird mask, sending the money people threw in a guitar case to an organization that helps to protect them. Later switched on electric guitar in clubs and made a record with similiar purpose (make some money for that organization). It was quite obsession some time between 2010 and 2014. Then I started to play more with bands and didn’t finish anything solo for a long time. But I have a four track EP in a mixing stage now and probably will release it under this name…
So many great names (recognized some of them) and interesting stories behind them!
Btw mine is Merzbow - It means ‘noise’ in Chinese
