Disney artists and sisters Aly and AJ Michalka have just announced on Twitter that their band name has changed from “Aly & AJ” to “78 Violet.”
We are a little unsure why Hollywood Records would confirm a name change that would confuse fans, or maybe it’s just us that it confuses. We’re always going to be typing in Aly & AJ to find their music in iTunes and on the web, not 78 Violet!
What do you think?

that just wont work.they’ve been aly & aj to long
To be honest. I don’t like the name change, it just doesn’t really fit, them very well. Of course I will always support them but this new name will take some getting used to. I just hope that they don’t disappear if it turns out their new album doesn’t sell. What I mean is I don’t want them just to be actors I want them to be singers as well. It just confuses me that Hollywood records would let them change their name under the hollywood records later, since they have so many other disney clients under that label. At least the it will still be them on the album. I just still think it makes me feel a little uncomfortable that I will need to say 78 violet instead of Aly & AJ. In my opinion they will always be Aly & AJ in my heart. I wish them luck with their new name.
i really love aly and aj better!! i mean, usually theres a meaning behind a band name, but 78 violet? well, srry… i dont think its fair!! i think you guys should keep aly and aj and i hope thats the band name i find on your new record [=
<3<3<3<3 ILY guys!!!!
They’ve been ALy & AJ too long. The name 78 Violet isn’t means everything about them. I don’t like that name
I think u guys must keep the name Aly & AJ. Cuz is tooo beautiful about u guys
i think this drastic change is a result of either aly and aj dumping disney or disney dumping aly and aj. futher more, they were not able to keep there original name due to copyright and leagal issues. this is just my theory
Ah! Was this bad! 78 Violet? Do please!
What?! Aly & AJ sounds perfect. What the hell is 78violet anyway? That sounds like their trying to hard. Aly & AJ is simple, but good.
whats 78 violet aly and aj has been with them too too long to just suddenly change it ALY AND AJ!
Oh whats 78 violet , nothing to do with that beautiful girls, aly and aj has been the first name and the unique of that duo, i will always named him aly and aj , only in few cases like his new album i will call 78 violet, but they are forever aly & aj
