Lady Gaga: Worst Name Ever?

November 25th, 2008

I’m sure it’s been said before, but “Lady Gaga” might be the worst name to emerge in popular music in at least the last decade.

What is that anyway, “Lady Gaga”? It sounds like a noble position in a royal court made up of babies: “Lady Gaga, allow me to introduce you to Prince Doody-Pants. Unfortunately you just missed Count Oopsie Daisy, he made a pee-pee his jammies before he could reach the potty and had to take his leave.”

Speaking of royalty, the name was inspired by a Queen song from 1984, “Radio Gaga”, about the rise of television leading to the decline of radio, along the lines of The Buggles’ “Video Killed The Radio Star”. I guess “Lady Video Killed The Radio Star” didn’t roll of the tongue quite so well.

Now, it’s all well and good if you’re an artist and you want to want to call yourself something that makes the skin crawl. Go ahead and make your name … I dunno, Nougat Lozenge Phlegm Goiter or, like, Zuma Nesta Rock if you like. Just don’t go getting popular with a name like that because I don’t want to have to repeat it.

“Yo man, did you see that new Nougat Lozenge Goiter video? She is so hot.”

“Oh yeah, Nougat Lozenge Goiter is awesome. Even better than Zuma Nesta Rock.”

So, in conclusion, Lady Gaga - annoying name. And really, baby-chic peaked in the 80s.

  10. All you people who are saying she is hot, are you serious? I can only hope that your 15 years old so its just your hormones that have you thinking that way. She is not very attractive. I can go to any public place and at any given time immediately find a number of women MUCH more attractive. She is plain and actually somewhat boyish looking.

    As far as her name goes, it’s ghetto and not in a good way. It’s not just her though. The trend of “artists” naming themselves is and alway has been stupid, childish and a conceited. Name your band, don’t rename yourself.

    JLo, Biggie, Slim Shady, Snoop Dogg, 2pac its all pretty dumb. C’mon people, Try walking up to your friends and asking, “excuse me guy’s, from now on, could you please call me ‘Big Slim’” They are all wannabe’s as far as I’m concerned.
