Meet sister singing duo 78violet. Look familiar? Yup, that's Alyson and Amanda Michalka. They're just not Aly & AJ anymore!
They're back with a new name -- and new music coming this fall!
What do you think of Aly & AJ's new name?

i like it (:
why change the name!??!?! i prefer aly & aj!
I think that it's great! It fits them more I think. When I hear Aly & AJ I tend to think of a kid band that has nice hormonics. But hopefully their music will live up to their new mature name.
uhhhhhhh.......
I can't believe that they are willing to change their name! If I was them, then I wouldn't change because it can cause stuff. I like the new name and everything, but Aly & Aj just seems to suit them more. I hope that they don't get complaints about changing their name to "78Violet!
Omg, really? 3 Years ago, they're popular but later 2 yrs ago and last year, they're not popular anymore... but then noww they're backk wow I'm happy:)! I hope they still be popular next years later...
I dont get it. why not just stick with aly& aj? It makes so much more sense...
And whatttt is 78violet supposed to mean? i really really do not get it. Haha(:
i like aly and a.j. and i'm surprised they changed their group name. i want to know where 78violet came from. i liked some of the songs on their album insomniatic so i'm excited for their new music to come out
Thats cool! I liked them as ali and aj but 78violet? How AWESOME is that!? I like their music so they could be called flying boogers and i would still love them!
it's cool! now they sound more like a real band instead of sisters singing together
hmmm itz ok but i like aly and aj better it just sounds more...right...or watevr...
N-O NO! The name isnt clicking. They should have kept their name to Aly and AJ. Just cuz they are gonna do different music doesn't mean they have to change their name. And, 78violet is more like a band group name. I just don't like it. My poinion though
I think their new name sounds more like a band than aly and aj. well 78violet ROCKS! :)
wow, i don't like the new name. they're so has-beens anyways this isn't gonna help them.
i think its dumb
Okay Why did they change their name? To become more popular? IDK I want to know what the reason is!
78violet? It just does not roll off the tongue at all!
I didn't even know they were still making music....
And it's just the 2 of them so it isn't like they are a band, that name is more for a band. I don't know, it's odd. Maybe there's some inside joke behind it.
i don't like it, i think it's stupid, i prefer Aly&AJ.
I think it doesn't matter what their name is, the music will still be great! (:
AWESOME yall rock!!!!!!!!!!!
IT'S COOL!! I WILL HAVE 2 GET USE 2 IT!! I CAN'T WAIT 2 HEAR NEW MUSIC FROM THEM!!!
i think aly and aj is better. its like a whole new thing with diferent people. will they still play their old music? my mom loves their old stuff.
I like their new name, it's creative and neat, but I will still always know them as Aly & AJ. I mean, when they come out with their new CD I'm not going to shout "78violet came out with their new CD!" I'm going to shout "Aly & AJ came out with their new CD!"
It's nice and more professional i guess but aly&aj was just more catchy
wtf?
why did they change the name?
whats wrong with aly&aj?
whats happening with the world?
wtf?
I like it. I'd like to know where the name came from.
I dont like it.. i might like it if i knew what it meant maybe...
wow! wasnt expecting that. i like it cuz i looooove them!!! wonder where that name came from. oooo new music this fall!!!!!!!!
Their names fit them better but thats still a good name that they came out with.
What the...? OK, so Aly & AJ are no longer Aly & AJ? That makes about as much sense as sticking your wet finger in a toaster! I mean, the new name is OK, I suppose. But why change it? They are-and always will be-Aly & AJ to me!
(= Hannah =)
they are ok... i havnt heard from them in a while.
3 waord:
_ lame
_ew
_78violet!????
**********************************************************************************
i like the other one!!
wow that's really different. wonder why they changed it? new sound and they're growing up i guess. oh well, there still aly & aj
Really? Unless they add like one more person, that just isn't gonna work for them!
(PS: If you go to my website, go to the music page. I think I put 100 good not old songs on there. Including Miley and The Jobros I think!)
Uuuuhh.. !? Not sure. I don't understand WHY they change & WHY for this name... 78violet... Strange I think.
Aly&AJ fits better, I mean, they're known as Aly&AJ, I think when we'll hear ''..and here we go with the new song of 78violet...'' people will be like "uuhhh!?? Who's that !?"
But that's their choice, I mean, they do what they want. Maybe they're just growing up and want to show they changed.
Whatever, I'm still an Aly&AJ fan & I'll still listen (and like?) their music ♥
(: Julie :)
I think its fine but why change the name? 78violet is a good name but me and my friends and more people will still call them aly and aj. its just like they changed the name of drop zone at wonderland to drop tower but everyone still calls it drop zone.

I Hate Thear New Name I Love You Aly And Aj
What i think.....um....i think that its a weird name..but it will do!! I mean ya giving them your opinoin is one thing but telling them it sucks and you dont like it and they should change it back......its like them telling you to do something different about yourself when you dont want 2.....
well,,,that was my opinion!!!
Anyone can email me!!!!!
pandabearluvr7@gmail.com
i think it is awesome
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO!
lol
Well, it's definedly not as catchy as Aly and AJ, and it sounds more like a big band than a duo. Now I have a band on my iPod that has a new name. I only have the album "Rush," though.
I LOVE ALY AND AJ! I AM A BIG FAN! The new name is cool but I would just go by Aly and Aj. It sounds cooler. I am looking forward to their new music. They are really talented and I listen to there music all the time. Aly and Aj rocks!!!
I like their old name "Aly & AJ" more! but I guess I'll get used to their new name "78violet"... :(
78Violet!, I love that name, I love Aly and A.J., they Rock! I can't wait for their next new album! GO 78VIOLET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
why are they changing their name? & why to 78violet? provide detaillls. :)
either way they rock and im stoked for their new music.
Come on I am a fan of them even if they changed their name its not like their music is going to automatically start sucking because they changed their name!
P.S. OMG I totally hope i didn't just jinx us!
I like the new name, it means that they r growing and i am all 4 that. But their orignal name is sooooooo much better, that's just my opinion. I love their music and I can't wait 4 what they come up with next. Aly & AJ ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I LUV THAT NAM3 ITS CR3ATIV3
I like their old name more but new name is cool too..
fine its no that bad sorry aly and aj!
..i got confused with the 1st name...
(i still dont kno who's who) now they sound like a lip-gloss.☻☺
...rely? i got confused witth te 1st name..NOW THIS? sounds like a shade of lip-stick.
i dont think they'll be takin sereously, no 1 will even kno wat da heck ur talkin bout.
i think AJ, has a CAMRON DIAZ smile, kinda.
I think this name is pretty cool. 78violet will grow on people.
I'm so used to them as Aly&AJ. But i do think that this new name is better for them. They are older now so they need newer, more mature name.
They should focus on getting their album out like NOW instead of spending their time figuring out a new name for themselves. Still love them and their music though. Waiting patiently to hear new music!!!
i hate it aly and aj fit them wayyy better
i like aly& aj better!!! we havn't heard them 4ever! i'm so happy their making their come back!!!!! i luv em!!
Why change the name? The name Aly and AJ are perfect for them!! I'm always going to call them that even tho they took up a new name.

ehh its ok, i liked the name aly and aj better though
don't know why theyd change it now i think everyones still gunna call them aly and aj
but im really excited theyre back
Well.. Hmm, lol I'm not quite sure how I feel about the change in the name. It does sound like a more of a band name, meaning more then two. And it's weird for all of us because we've known them as ''Aly & AJ'' for such a long time. they just came out with their logo last year, the A in a Heart, and now it seems that won't fit them as well if their name is 78Violet.. They were just original the way they had that going, and I loved them, Still do. I don't dislike the name, its kinda reminds me of Blink182 Having numbers in the name haha and one word/and/or Color. So my comment on it is, we'll see :P It' weird, I like Aly & AJ and what they have going for them, their image, but thats something new, and exciting I look forward to see what they're doing with it, and what it means and why, They're telling everyone on a LIVE webcast Thursday, July 16th, I hope some people here read my comment! Cause only 800 people are RSVPed to be watching it, and I KNOW they have a lot more fans who wanna know whats going on. They said they're having it to explain why they're changing the name and everything and I saw a lot of comments asking why they were on here :) Its on Facebook, so if you have one Become a Fan of Them and then they'll be a link to the Webcast Info :)
and I just noticed a few typos, Sorry about that! lol I was distracted, I always re-read what I write, but I went too fast this time I suppose!
i like it! it's unique! i like it better than the name Aly and AJ...idk y...it'll take some getting use to, but i like it!
I love their music and I like the name but I'm not in love with it. I liked Aly and A.J. I got to meet them at one of their concerts and I loved them but I didn't hear about them for a while and now their making a comeback!! Cool!! :)
Hey guys, do some research before you judge if you like it or not. A lot of you are saying "If I knew why they changed it..."
They stated that they always wanted a name, but they had never thought of a good one until now. 7 is Aly's lucky number, 8 is AJ's lucky number, and I forget exactly why they picked Violet but they said they looked it up and its meaning really fit their new sound and it means a lot to them.
Personally, I like it.
Can't wait for their new CD! :)
They changed their name to 78violet because 7 is aly's lucky number and 8 is AJ's lucky number and violet is both of their favorite color. I love the new name personally.
The name 78violet is catching onto me but i'll always remember Aly & AJ since I & my Mom met them twice bfore they changed their name and such!
i LOVE the new name! they r not kids anymore and their sound its changing a little bit.. kind of more rockish which is good cuz their lyrics r really deep and i think the change was NECESSARY to kind of get out of the "disney" circle.. i know the new album is gonna ROCK! and i'll ALWAYS love them and if ur a true fan.. u should 2..
This is a good thing when something is changing, a ways need to strive for better i still. I do not care as will called group. I like how they sing ana what.
Because of the change of name of the group, they do not become less like.

78violet is a very different name, but it does suit them. i was suprised when i found out they were changing it, but i guess its time that they convert to something more mature than just "aly & aj". after watching there live web cast, they explained what the name 78violet means. aj's lucky number is 7 and aly's is 8, thats where the 78 came from. and violet is the color that they feel they show when they perform on stage, they feel that violet is such a strong color and they associate it with being on stage performing. for everyone who was wondering, thats what it means. if you want to see the webcast, go onto alyandaj.com and i think they posted it.

i really like the name..its very unique and seems like something they would convert to. i've always loved their music, from the time they started, they have a great talent. i can't wait until they're next album, i just wish it was coming out earlier..fall isn't that far away but it seems like aly & aj have taken a really long time to produce this album, hopefully it will be worth it in the long run :)
i like the new name i really do. i mean yea everyone knew them as Aly & Aj but really 78Violet really explains more about what there all about. It seperates them from the whole Kiddish type of music like diseny i mean disney is cool in all but maybe they wanna go up reach out to older people like older teenagers. i really like it!
I love Aly and Aj, and 78violet sounds sophisticated, except why 78violet? sounds like a username. But Aly and Aj rock, and I have nothing against them. :)
