I think when I audition I am either going to go by Noel, Reagan, Skye, or Mya.
Minette

My first stripper name ever I tried to use Tally, for two reasons. The first being that it was the whole first pet thing which I thought it was a funny concept. The second was that I had seen a movie where this woman works her way up from weather girl to important news anchor, and they accidentally announced her name as Tally, rather than Sally, and she ended up changing her name to that for the sake of her career. It also struck me as funny; I don't know why. The ironic part of the story is that the dj heard me wrong and announced me as Talia, which I stuck with for the sake of the job. ::)
I chose Minette because it sounds kinda sophisticated, but means pussy in french. Pussy as in kitty, rather than cunt, but I never specify that when telling customers. }:D Customers constantly mishear it and think it's Annette, Wynette (shudder), or Lynette, but I can't be bothered to care. I've had it for so long I can't imagine being anything else. Plus, I tell customers I'm french when they ask my ethnicity. When I was at the Lusty Lady, there was a joke among the dancers that went along the lines of, "My name ees Meenette, I am from zee sviss ahlps. Thees is my first time ehvar bee-ing nake-eed. Zey told me that thees is how all zee wee-mon in thees country meet zehr hus-bahnds." It was mostly funny because the show director had me wear this horrible feathered brown wig that I wore in two braids. It was also funny because under the wig I was a crew-cut-sporting, crass, naked-all the time, not-at-all innocent dyke, who, oddly enough, wasn't looking for a husband at all. Dancing around in a mirrored box for hours makes odd things funny I guess. :P

My first name was Shy, it fitted me as I was very quiet and Shy.
Second name was Amara... just cuz I liked it.
Now its Ashley Tyler.. because it can be.

So original.
Why not use Ford or Volkswagen? Or how about Dodge?
After trying an actual fake name for a little while and not responding to it naturally and even missing a stage call I switched to my real middle name as my stage name. It worked much better for me.

My first stage name was Mya but ran into a few girls with that name. When I would first go into work (in street clothes) I would have sun glasses on and guys started calling me Hollywood. Now I stick with Hollywood and ppl say it suits me because of my stage presence. I don't think I'll run into many Hollywoods out there.

Wait, Porsha is a name. Porshe is the car, but Porsha is pronounced the same as the car. The name came first though.
Personally, I don't like that name. I've always through Mercedez was a cool name, but to name your kids after cars is kind of goofy. Although, as a stripper name, why not? It's supposed to be fun.

Mercedes was a real name in the first place, too. Some german guy named the car after his daughter.

Its more of the fact it seems every stripper under the sun uses the name Porsha or Mercedes or Alexis etc... and they're all sterotypical stripper names now...

Well, true. I guess it's not all the weird, I know a couple Mercedes/z.

Yep. I'm still trying to decide on a name...Candy was a name I always loved growing up but somehow I doubt it'd work out just because it's slightly corny.

Why not something cute and simple? You know like Lindsay, Angelica, Misty etc...

My first stage name was "Jordan" which I still think is pretty cute, but when I changed clubs I sort of wanted to leave my old persona behind -- I was "the shy girl" at that club, which got old -- so I changed names. "Grace" just popped into my head. To me it sounds kinda classy, kinda old-fashioned, and kinda weird. It suits me, especially when my hair is a weird color.

Well you don't need to be rude about it just because YOU don't like it. Maybe she WANTS to have a stereotypical stripper name, and doesn't want a real sounding name. She's the one that has to play the part.

My first name (and the name I'm using now) was/is Angel. I was so naive and stupid when I first went to the rough little strip club in the hood. The girls were so intimidating that when they asked what my name was I gave my real name, Alexandria. They just about laughed at me and told me to be "Angel" because I looked, and *obviously* was, innocent lol... Angel is taken at one of the clubs I work at now so I go by Asaia, which my girlfriend chose for me because she thinks it's pretty.

Nova... Like Super-Nova!!! A Star. No other reason. But I love being something distant from the daytime me.
Except in England there's a crappy car - A Vauxhall Nova. I got told by some guys that I was "easy" cos it's an easy car to break into! And the manager calls me Vauxhall. Nice!
One night, some Irish guy was harping on about how it wasn't my real name and proceeded to call me "Beverley" all night. I might just be Beverley (Or Ethel, or Gertrude) one night for a laugh!

Okay, I decided on Yelena. It worked out pretty well, I think. No one had too tough of a time pronouncing/remembering it.

03-03-2007, 03:35 PM
Okay what I meant was everyone is going to go 'so whats your real name? why would you use something everyone uses' etc...
Also in my experience almost every Porsha or Mercedes or Alexis i've come across has been dirty nasty in the VIP.
I wasnt intending on being rude, but if ya'll wanna think I am then thats fine with me :)

Does anyone remember in the Ramona Quimby books (haha, I know I already named my cat Picky-Picky, hehe) she has a bear or a doll or something named Chevrolet because she thinks its the most beautiful name in the world. :D

mercedes or alexis sounds like a queen bee of the strip club.
i asked a dj yesterday what in his opinion the worst name ever was. he said "ni-vay-ah.....'heaven' spelled backwards! get the fuck out of here!"
heaven backwards is n-e-v-a-e-h. that sounds like ni-vay-ay!

okay, i do agree with this, only one mercedes i ever knew was clean. the DIRTIEST was a girl named porche, however you spell it. she would pull her g string to the side ON stage... we are topless, that's not allowed. she would sell hella dances... but hmmmm.... i wonder why!

Jezebel not because the queen from the Bible that was eaten by dogs LOL but because of Sade song's Jezebel. It really fits my "story" and personality.
Jezebel wasn't born with a silver spoon in her mouth
She probably had less than every one of us
But when she knew how to walk she knew
how to bring the house down
Can't blame her for her beauty
She wins with her hands down
Jezebel, what a belle
Looks like a princess in her new dress
How did you get that?
Do you really want to know she said
It would seem she's on her way
It's more, more than just a dream
She put on her stockings and shoes
had nothing to lose - she said it was worth it
Reach for the top
and the sun is gonna shine
Every winter was a war she said
I want to get what's mine
Jezebel, Jezebel
won't try to deny where she came from
You can see it in her pride
and the raven in her eyes
Try show her a better way
she'll say you don't know what you've been missing
by the time she blinks you know she won't be listening
Reach for the top she said
the sun is gonna shine
Every winter was a war she said
I want to get what's mine
I want to get what's mine

Oh, and I gotta come to the defense of "Alexis" from Pigale, because she's a real sweet heart and the farthest thing from bitchy dancer I've ever met...just in case she's reading the thread. :)

Hi I'm Mercedes, wanna a ride?! Just came up with that after reading about all these car names. I'm sure someone's already come up with that line tho.

03-04-2007, 03:17 PM
Amaya. I came up with the name when I first started dancing at 18. I got it from a little girl I used to babysit named Maya. I added the A and just ending up with Amaya. It works pretty good because customers usually mispronouce it and just call me MAYA. Then I come back with... "no, I make em moan AAAAAAAAAAAhhhhhh Maya"...
But once an agency named me Mizz Bootylicious which was pretty weird cause my 2 girl show partner was the one with the big booty... She was Mizz Boobilicious and I'm the one with the Ds... LMAO!!!

My one and only stage name is "Malibu" because I lived in Malibu for a good portion of my life and I also knew no one else would have it at my club (I dance in the South East.) So far I've really liked my name because everyone in the club knows me as that girl from California. I think it sounds pretty too.

My first stage name was Cassady... I got asked by old custys if it were in reference to David Cassidy of the Partridge Family or Butch Cassidy, but nope! Both wrong! I'm married to a devout Dead Head! Neal Cassady was a part of the Merry Pranksters in the Psychadelic area. There's also a famous little "quote": The Bus came by and I got on... Cowboy Neal at the wheel... The Grateful Dead also played a great song called "Cassidy". Got it from there...
I recently left my old club and due to not wanting a psycho finding me and just wanting to start over fresh I picked a new name. I was almost Meadow, as in Meadow Soprano (LOVE that show!) but at a club I auditioned at the housemom mentioned her daughter's name was Kendal. Hmmm? Yep! It stuck! I'm now dancing as Kendal. I did get called Candle at work lastnight! That was funny! I did tell the guy I was hot like a candle! LOL

I use Portia, but with that spelling I took it from the Shakespeare play "Merchant of Venice"
But I always get the "Yea, and I'm Mercedes back"
So I play dumb and tell them its because I'm hot, fast and expensive.
I've also used Phoenix, and when asked why, I say " Because sweetie, Im like Arizona - hot,hot,HOT!"
Always gets a chuckle and usually a conversation starter.;)

My screen name here is a nickname my friends gave me because I prefer to date chubby/fat men :)

Haha, there was a girl at this club named Chevelle and she actually had a tattoo of a chevy symbol on her lower back with the words "chevy girl". Ew!

Right now my name is Renee. I always stick with a name that starts with the same letter as my real name b/c sometimes I'll forget it :P
P.S. I used to dance with a girl whose name was Anaconda. F-ing Hilarious! She was a great girl, too.

my first stage name was Trinity, I had dark red hair and well I watched the matrix movies the night before. now I go by Nadia. i only have one name so my customers can find me easier. Picked Nadia cause it is one of the first centerfolds my man remembers. It fits so why change anything?
