How do I check to see if my name might be available on Spotlight? Using the Spotlight name checker: Using our name checker type your proposed name into the search box. You might be able to have the name, but there may be a performer with a similar name that does not appear in the search results.
The Actors' Equity Association (AEA) advises performers to select a name that is easy for others to pronounce, spell, and remember. Some performers, while paying great attention to their skills and abilities, give little thought to the difference that a well-thought-out name can make to their career.
