The first way of coming up with your original rap name is the most interesting and reflecting. In this method you need to analyze yourself a lot, probably write down some things. So the method is that you need to think about yourself as a general man, then as a music artist.

This all is important for building an understanding of your personality and then making a reasonable nickname from it.
After this important step, think about yourself as an artist, analyze your music, your sound, and vibe. It might be aggressive kind of music, or maybe calm melodies with a simple flow.
