There's a bitch at my club who calls herself "squirt" I think that's pretty horrible...

Re: What's Your Stage Name / Favorite Stage Names?!
I think the best names are just real sounding names. IMO, it is best when the name can also be shortened. It seems like customers like to shorten your name when they feel close to you. Jessica-Jess, Stephanie-Steph, Emily-Em, Becca-bec, etc. I like going by a real sounding name so that I can just pretend it is my real name.
I have heard a lot of bad names. They tend to go in one ear and out the other. It seems like those girls never last. New one at my club right now named, "7."

Re: What's Your Stage Name / Favorite Stage Names?!
I go by Tempest. It's as real as my tits or my humility. ::)

Re: What's Your Stage Name / Favorite Stage Names?!
There is a Treason and a Rocket who work at my club. I think both names are adorable. The DJ's tend to pronounce Rocket like 'Rockette' but she calls herself Rocket (as in space craft).

Re: What's Your Stage Name / Favorite Stage Names?!
We had a Salem once. It fit her because she was so different and kind of nerdy. I loved her name!
The worst might've been Sugar Fruit.
Ones that were a little different yet still pretty cool were Lala and Nubian :)

Re: What's Your Stage Name / Favorite Stage Names?!
I dance by Salem! lol when I go out of town that is, but when I'm in town I dance by my name, Skye.
When people ask I lie and tell them my real name is Liz or something. I really love the names Lorelei and Rain.
Worse name I've ever heard was hmmmm.... probably Luscious, Vampress or Miss Kitty.

Re: What's Your Stage Name / Favorite Stage Names?!
The area where I work, first and last name stage names are the norm. I dance under Julie Hart, this week there's a Kina Heart as well so customers keep asking if we're related. There's about a million girls with some variation of "star" as their last name, as well as Fox or Angel.
Also working with a lady named "Ivannah Shagwell" this week, which would normally be a terrible name but it fits her personality perfectly.
"Pickle" still wins at being the worst name I've heard recently.

Re: What's Your Stage Name / Favorite Stage Names?!
Worst: Bam bam.
I like to go by Adrianna or Elena. I didn't realize "Elena" was the name of a vampire show character though till I read a description on Netflix. I happen to be quite pale and dye my hair dark. This would maybe account for some of the weird vampire comments I've gotten. Whatever. I still like the name.

Re: What's Your Stage Name / Favorite Stage Names?!
I work with a girl named fucking SPARKLE. I have known a Latte. And a Classy.
My favorite stripper names sound exotic and sexy, like Natasha or Anastasia.

Can I keep you? Seriously? Every post you type turns to gold. So funny!

Re: What's Your Stage Name / Favorite Stage Names?!
I dance by my real name. The club I"m at now has a luli. That was my nickname for my daughter when she was a toddler. Lol. I think my new persians name would make a good stage name, "Shauntal". Haha.
-
Re: What's Your Stage Name / Favorite Stage Names?!
My real life name is Misty.....My husband has told me that was a stripper name lol. I considered using my real name for camming but after doing research and seeing how to protect yourself from all the weirdos in the world - I decided against it.
Names I like: Lexxi (obviously), Candy, Molly, Layla, Nevaeh, Fiona
-
Re: What's Your Stage Name / Favorite Stage Names?!
The names I usually go by are summer, missy and madison. Missy is probably my favorite though it was already taken at the club I just started working at

Oh that's a super popular name in Europe, but it's usually spelled "Chantal".

I must have been crazy when I posted that, because she definitely went by Pebbles, not Bam Bam. I think I just called her Bam Bam in my head. They're equally horrible names for stripping, IMO.
@Simone, I like the old classy names too, but they never seemed to go well for me, especially since DJs would usually mispronounce them. Even with Elena, most of them say it as "Uh-lay-na." I think Alexandra is an exception though--it sounds sufficiently classy/exotic/modern.

Re: What's Your Stage Name / Favorite Stage Names?!
I've used Sophia, Charlie, Marina & Desiree. They all mean something.
-
Re: What's Your Stage Name / Favorite Stage Names?!
I've worked with a Persephone, which is great if you majored in Greek mythology, but the DJ always called her Stephanie.
These are the names I've worked with and liked:
Shiloh
Reese
Kamora
Demi
Roxy
And then - just some that have stuck out:
Felony
Miso (The DJ always said "Miso ... horny!" ha. ha. ha.)
Hope ("I can only hope for a lady this good!")
Tamara (which everyone always joked about - is it tomorrow, today? Ha)
-
Re: What's Your Stage Name / Favorite Stage Names?!
Oh, and I used to dance by Blair, but have recently switched clubs and changed it to Rogue. While I like that name, one dude thought I introduced myself as Broke. Ummm, ahahhaha... in fact, I still can't help laughing about that. Hilarious. But yeah. Make sure you choose a name that has an "s" or "x" or "z" or "st / ts" sound to it, I think that makes it easier to comprehend over the music and noise. Roxy, Foxy, Lexy, Missy, Zenith, etc. In fact, I love Zenith. Maybe I should try that one instead of "Broke". LOL

retired now when i did dance i went by my real name and never changed it WENDY......lol i love my name....
The History of the Name "Wendy"
A lot of people will argue about whether or not the name Wendy was created by J.M. Barrie for the character "Wendy Darling" in his books about Peter Pan.
Is it true? Yes and no...
Wendy of Eons Past
Most of my life I thought the name Wendy is derivative of Gwendolyn or some variation of a way-way-back historical name you'd never want to assign to any young girl.
This is only partially true. A Doctor of Folklore (Leslie Ellen Jones, Ph.D.) told me some interesting stuff about the names Gwendolyn, Guinivere, and Wendy.
Gwendolyn and Guinevere are etymologically related in that they are both Welsh names beginning with the element "gwen-" which means "white/dazzling/holy" and is a *very* popular and productive name element for both female and male names. (The Welsh form of Guinevere is Gwenhwyfar, "white phantom/shadow", which is an exact cognate of the Irish name Finnabhair, the name of the daughter of Medb and Aillill of Connacht, in the Ulster cycle). Personally, if Wendy is derived from a Welsh name, my candidate would be Gwendydd (pronounced Gwen-deethe, "white day"), which was the name of Myrddin (Merlin)'s sister (as in the poem Ymddiddan Myrddin a Gwendydd ei Chwaer, the Conversation of Merlin and Gwendydd his Sister). Barrie's "Wendy" was invented at a time when ancient Welsh names were becoming popular again, as an expression of intellectual nationalism.
Mail from someone who does genealogical research shows that "Wendy" might have been in use before Peter Pan and might even have been a boy's name:
I must admit to being annoyed when I tell people my name. They always insist on mentioning Peter Pan. During my family reseach I have come across the name Wendy twice in the 1881 census of England, one born 1840, and one born in 1880. The magazine Family History also states that Wendy, along with the names Marian and Shirley were once boys names, and that in 1797 a boy named Wendy was apprenticed to some one in Glos.
And last, my own research has found references to two different emperors in China who have the name "Wendi" (sometimes also referred to as Wen-Ti):
Emperor Wendi, Han Dynasty (179BC-157BC)
Emperor Wendi, Sui Dynasty (541-604)
Barrie Brings Rise to the Popularity of Wendy
While research shows that Barrie didn't invent the name "Wendy", he might as well have. Barrie introduced the character Wendy Darling in Peter Pan in 1904. It is well-known that J.M. Barrie's work was often inspired by the antics of children. Many important characters in his books are modeled after children of his friends and associates.
One such child was a little girl named Margaret Henley (shown at the left) who adored Barrie and always called him "my friendy". However, because she couldn't pronounce her r's, the words came out "my fwendy". One variation of the tale says Margaret called Barrie "friendy-wendy" or in her pronunciation, "fwendy-wendy".
Margaret Henley died at age six (c. 1895). But Barrie used Margaret's invented name "Wendy" for a character who symbolizes mothering, caring, loyalty, and undying friendship. Who would have thought that the tenor of the world would be affected by a nickname invented by a little six year old girl? Imagine the ripples she's caused.
For example, I was named after the character of Wendy Darling from Peter Pan. My mother thought "Wendy" was a magical name and fell in love with it. If it weren't for Margaret Henley, there might not be a definitive list of Wendys on the Web.
If you look at the picture of Margaret, you will see she also has on a cloak. This cloak was the model for Wendy Darling's cloak in Peter Pan.
Besides her inspirations for costumes and character names, Margaret also appears briefly as a character herself in Barrie's Sentimental Tommy. The character "Reddy" is a child-friend of Tommy's who dies at the age of six. Barrie wrote to Margaret's father in September of 1895, some months after Margaret died. Barrie wrote, "She flits thro' the opening of my story, which is now in America."
Despite the popularity of Peter Pan, "Wendy" as a name did not come into general use until the 1920s, although some parents used "Wenda", first appearing in 1907, as a familiar form of the name.
The name Wendy was more popular in Britain (its country of origin) than in the United States.
In the 1940s, the variation "Wendie" was regularly used and "Wendi" appeared in the 1960s, which is when the name reached its peak in Britain. In the United States Wendy reached its peak in the 1970s. By the 1980s, the popularity of Wendy was in sharp decline.
Three British actresses aided in the popularity of the name Wendy: Wendy Hiller, Wendy Barrie (the god-daughter of J.M. Barrie), and Wendy Craig
