I picked Alice because I started around Halloween and wore an Alice in Wonderland costume. Also considered using my real name Kimberly, but it was taken, and Kelly, because it was a nickname way back when for looking like Kelly Bundy and/or Kelly from 90210, but that was taken too... at that point I figured everyone was gonna call me Alice anyway from the costume and I might as well keep it, so I did.

P.S. Props to the videogame girls! V-games have the coolest names- I might consider using Bonne Jenet (my avatar) if it weren't for ppl always getting confused thinkin it's Jon Benet.

Mine is Chastity. When I decided to start dancing they told me that they had over 2000 dancers on the roster. Granted, many of them don't work very much-maybe once a week, once a month, every few months, etc..Well, they can't have two girls with the same name, so I looked in a baby book they had at the front desk to check and see what names I liked. Every name I liked was already taken, and then I came across Chastity. I was so surprised that that name wasn't taken already. I picked it more for the ironony of it, you know, to be a stripper and to have that name. Chaste, chastity belt-Hehe!

ahaha my cat's name is "Ava" (ava adore")

i think that'd be an amazing stripper name

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.

I wonder how many times she got "My anaconda don't want none - unless you got buns, hon!" ;D;D

I used to be Carmen. Fit me great.. then new club and ::gasp:: theres already a Carmen!! Boo. So now I'm Janessa.. not really a fan (everyother customer: what is it Vanessa? noooo ..JAnessa) but too lazy to change it. lol

Darcy Foxx

I used to be called Darcy Foxx, for like 3 years. I got the name Darcy from Ali Larter's whipped cream bikini wearing character in the film "Varsity Blues", and Foxx because I just thought it was a neat word.

Then I started at a new club and was bored of being called Darcy. Also because I was starting up my new paysite, I wanted to be called Aussie(Name starting with A) so after debating between Alice and Ashlee for a while, I decided on Ashlee. Well, initially I was going to call myself Ashley, but some porn company in the states must've found out I wanted to call myself AussieAshley because they up and registered that domain and it now points to a charming website called "Australian Whores". So I changed it to Ashlee and registered that domain quicksmart. So at the club I'm now Ashlee Adams, I picked Adams cos it was the only surname starting with an A that I could think of that didn't sound stupid. Part of me kinda wishes I'd called myself Alice, because I like that name. Oh well, I'm Ashlee now!

Dream... just because I like it. My real name is already a stripper name (Jessica) so I wanted something a little more fun to fit my persona.

My name is Platinum...lol...I got it because a long time ago during 4th of July weekend at VA Beach...for some reason my weekend attire always consisted of something silver or grey so these guys were like we're going to start calling you Platinum...and it just popped in my head when I heard the question "So...what do you want your name to be?"

My dancer name is Michelle. Sometimes they ask if its my real name and I just nod. Why put up with the endless questioning for my real name? No way.
Then they think im being honest with them! HEH

I posted in the other thread for this but I'll post here too. Nicole. Not Nikki, just Nicole. I used other names at a new club I'd check out for a week or two but always went back to Nicole and it's what I used most often. Whats funny is I've been retired from dancing for a long time now, but if someone calls out Nicole, I still turn my head and look..lol.

figuring out a name and persona is fun.

i'm thinking of going with a really old school hollywood name, something like mamie, jayne, ava, or audrey...OR dolly (because i hearts dolly parton)....or gigi (which might be really stereotypical?)

my real first name is extremely unusual, so that's out of the question. my other stage name (for burlesque) is something i'd like to keep seperate from my SC persona.

I just HAD to comment as I'm using the same name I use for my modelling and stripping for burlesque -- Vanessa Stacy/Stacey (whichever way you want to spell it). Why do you feel you can't reveal and/or use your Burlesque stage name in a strip club sense? Are you ashamed of linking the two?

I know plenty of Burlesque girls who were and/or are strippers as well (as I'm finding out).

I'm not being judgemental. Curiosity, that's all. I'm new to the BurlyQ scene granted as my first performance isn't until later this month.

There is a girl at my current club with a Burlesque-type of name .. Lilly White.

no, i am not ashamed of linking the two. but...

it's that my burlyQ name is rather odd, and don't know how well it would work in a stripclub sense. i thought something short and easier to remember (like ava or something) would work better in a SC than my burlesque stage name. my burlesque name is totally NOT a real sounding name, and i am sure everyone would be asking "what's your real name?"

i know a number of girls who have overlapped burlesque and stripping, too. in my experience, all of them have used different names. i guess it is a way of creating a different sort of persona for the two worlds. stripping has many elements of sales and hustling that burlesque really doesn't. (one of the main things i am worried about, to be honest). plus there is much less contact with the audience/customer/patron in burlesque, & you aren't always introducing yourself to various people after the MC has announced you.

i would to love to hear all about your BQ debut! best of luck.

I used Karen because it's my real name. Or Kali, because it's what everyone calls me anyway. I'm not a very good liar, and if I made up a name I wouldn't remember to lie to people and tell them the fake one.

My very first stripper name was "Vagina" pronounced Va-gee-na. I put an accent mark over the i.

Kali is the Hindu goddess of destruction. She has quite a few interesting stories, one of which being her ego at being the most supreme dancer. She's also a destroyer and creator. The Black Mother.

http://www.awakenedwoman.com/kali_in_art.htm

" Kali is represented as a Black woman with four arms; in one hand she has a sword, in another the head of the demon she has slain, with the other two she is encouraging her worshippers. For earrings she has two dead bodies and wears a necklace of skulls ; her only clothing is a girdle made of dead men's hands, and her tongue protrudes from her mouth. Her eyes are red, and her face and breasts are besmeared with blood. She stands with one foot on the thigh, and another on the breast of her husband."

That's a quote taken from the above site. I have her tattooed on my back.

Sorry haha. I know you didn't ask for an explanation of your name. It's just something I'm very, VERY interested in.

Thanks for the compliment on the tattoo. It was feeling with pains for many hours.

If you're interested in reading Kali's creation story and the demon battle and whatnot on that site, I found it was a real conversation keeper with customers at the club. It's a very "man oriented" gory story, but it is also beautiful and makes you as a dancer seem empowered to be using the name. I used it to stave off a lot of the "What's your real name?" questions by saying "I am Kali, and here is why if you're interested." and then telling them her story. Made me seem a helluva lot smarter than I actually am haha.

I thought about using "Kama" as a stripper name from Kama Sutra, because it links to my heritage and it means pleasure in our language.

But, would Kama sound like "comma" and unfamiliar? :(

Why not Karma instead of Kama?

I know a girl who actually uses the stage name Karma Sutra.

I went by Jenna for 2 years and love it so much that I feel like its my real name. I moved clubs and there was already a Jenna so I'm Barbie now. It's a silly name and obviously not real but it suits me and guys seem to like it. I get alot of my name's Ken back.

i started out as Samantha, then that got boring...lol...so i've been Jada for couple years...cuz it was my "model" alias - Jada Dee (i had a pay site). But now that i don't have my pay site anymore, i want to start fresh again...(thats my excuse to use a find a new name) i've been thinking...Simone, Simona Lee, Alexia, and Karma....but i wanna name my daughter Karma, so i don't wanna waste it on my work name....i think it's so fun to think up new names!

I know someone named "Kama." The first "a" is like the "a" in the word "can" or "cantaloupe."

My stripper name sucked. It was Siamena. It was assigned by the asshole in my life at the time. Bad situation overall. That's probably why I stopped dancing all together. Other than actual work at the club, lots of bad memories.

I recently found out that an old friend of mine started using my name around different clubs...she told me she used it cause she liked it....it's a nice compliment I guess....but a strange thing for a person to do I though.

10-29-2007, 11:42 AM
I wanted to be Honey when I started; I even had picked out an unused porn name for myself (Honey McIntyre) in case I went in that direction. But another girl was already using it. I went with "Sunday" for a couple of reasons; I was thinking Wednesday Adams but light on the goth, and I liked the dichotomy of using the Lord's day for my sinful activities. I also thought that "easy like Sunday Morning" was cute, although untrue. And last but not least, if anyone starts giving me a hard time ("But today's Monday, shouldn't your name be Monday?") I smile seductively and say "No, Sundae like with whipped cream and a cherry on top..." They LOVE that!

But I'm kind of over it. This is why I've never gotten a tattoo--it seems cute and I might even have good reasons for it, but I just get BORED so easily! I've been wanting to change my name to Juno. For no reason but that it's different-sounding.

Scarlett is my dancer name.....and my Craft name(Pagan thing :P )

I chose the name years ago for myself because of all my scars. I have a bunch of small ones, each with a story, but my most significant one is the 18inch scar that runs down my spine. When I was 15, I had two metal rods placed along my spine. My scars are the reminders of the battles I fought to be where I am today. They remind me of how strong I am when I have to be.

That name will always be apart of me.

Carmen of course, and I got mine from the old musical "Carmen" starring Dorothy Dandridge. I love Dorothy Dandridge, but could not imagine dancing under Dorothy.

I have an Island girl theme at work. My stage name is Mileia; pronounced Ma-lay-a. It's Hawaiian, and it is the name of an actual beach on the island of Maui. I came up with the spelling of it myself, though, which is Hawaiian-style spelling...but NOT as Hawaiian as the REAL spelling of the name. :P

killingwaitress
11-03-2007, 11:42 PM
I'm a waitress, but I go by Audrey after Audrey Hepburn, because I was really named after Katherine Hepburn. If there's already an Audrey in the club, I use Carmen because I'm a singer.

Corey
11-04-2007, 12:22 AM
i'm Corey at my home club. I chose it a while back because I wanted a simple, 'real' name...that wasn't mine. I chose Cathy, but there was a dancer at that club who's real name was Kathleen and it freaked her out. So, I picked Corey because I thought it was just as 'normal' as Cathy.

I use a more inspired name when I dance at other clubs. I met a dancer who's name was 'Motion' but she really didn't move on stage. I'm a mover, in fact I use to be a little hyper and I always thought that name would suit me better than it did her.

So I moved to another city and now I use it. Sometimes I give custies variatons of that name, like 'Energy' and someone once called me a 'Happy Meal' so I have used that.

Also, the other club I work at, there is mostly very curvy, not skinny Latinas that work there. I am not, so all of their big, beautiful curves make me look even skinnier. Flaca is the word for skinny in Spanish. So if they ask me, I tell them "La Flaca". It makes them laugh.

Hey my real name is Barbara and a lot of people call me Barbie! :)
I normally (in real life) go by Babs though. We have a lot of girls that use there real names but Babs isn't exactly sexy!

I also really love "Sunday"! (I would have quoted your message too but I haven't figured out how to do that yet.) I think if I ever had to change names again I would seriously consider borrowing that one!

I started with Amber because I wanted something normal, but at this club there was already an Amber. The other girl I tried out with said why don't you just use April? So I do...
Kind of a boring story :)

my name was april for years, then when i returned to dancing after a two year break. there was an april who started the same day as me. grrr. anyway, i was put on the spot so i just used my middle name "Leigh" it suits me much better as it's a strong name and usuallly sparks the whole "is that i guys anme or a girls name?" conversation.
