Pretty much anyone still officially using a nickname after the age of 40 is lame. Sixx and Eminem included.

What, are you nuts? There is probably two dozen guys from the 80s that have a name 10x worse in L.A. alone.

Rob Zombie, while being a cool name, also attached himself to the White Zombie moniker, making his solo transition all the more seamless. Had he been Rob Blakk, he wouldnt have been able to usurp 99% of the fanbase and casuals. Like Manson and Cooper, it was the perfect way to make the band situation all you. So, even though his music is dogshit, it was the best pick of not only anyone listed here, but arguably also everyone not listed here.

🤣🤣🤣

White Zombie was Rob Zombie.

Don't think Rob Zombie is cringeworthy at all.

Some are bad but difficult to separate the name from the artist at this point: Dimebag Daryl, The Edge, Lady Gaga

Some not mentioned that really suck: Flo Rida, 2 Chainz, Bhad Barbie, Marshmello

It's tough to top Chip Z'nuff as the worst because it comes from Enuff Z'nuff which also has a double shitty spelling.

“Rob” is the cringeworthy part. I mean are you in, or are you out?

Don’t you see?? ‘Rob’ and ‘Zombie’ don’t work TOGETHER. Not to mention it’s just plain lazy.

If he was so hell bent on using the ‘Zombie’… for obvious reasons, I concede… then either leave it as-is, or finish the thought. “Bela Zombie”, “Uno Zombie”, “Astro Zombie “… anything but your real first name. He’s a creative guy… surely something should have come to him.

Eh, I sorta get where youre going, but there's 2 problems with that.

Firstly, he was kind of doing what punkers had been doing all along, which was use your real first name with an "attitudinal" last name... Sid Vicious, Glenn Danzig, Johnny Rotton, Howie Pyro, etc.

Second, when they started he was a bit of a character, but he only really went from a leather jacketed, funny hatted, shorts wearing dude to an actual zombie with the release of his first solo album.

I think most stage names are sillyish, but not cringy.

Hell, Paul Stanley sounds as dumb and nerdy as Stanley Eisen (just less Jewish). Same for Gene. If I were picking names for my newborn, Paul and Gene are nowhere on the list. They sound like Grandpa names - my Grandpas were Earl and Walter. Old time.

Ozzy Osbourne sounds "cooler" than John Osbourne, doneit?

Rob Zombie sounds "cooler than Robert Cummings.

Igor Skullcrusher and Tom Angelripper, anyone?

At least Kim Pedersen became King Diamond and not Kim Diamond - Neil and Amy's nerdy cousin.

And? Do you really think White Zombie was anything besides a Rob Zombie solo band with a different name?

You're a fool if you think differently. Zombie was the entire band, creative wise. If the other members besides John Tempesta were so creative, why didn't they do anything worthwhile afterwards?

White Zombie was Rob, period.
