Trying to decide on a name
Hi ladies!
I'm sorry similar threads have been started before, but I didn't want to bump/post-jack a super old thread, so here I am..
I'm planning to audition in the next couple weeks, and I'm trying to find a name that isn't tacky/ghetto/played out etc especially since I'm black, I don't want to perpetuate stereotypes that people have about black dancers.
What are you opinions of the following:
Babs, as in Barbara, as in Barbara Gordon (batgirl)- Personally I like this for what it means to me, but the name might be a bit old, unexciting :(
Jinx
Cloud
Aurora/Aurore (something that can cater to the french speaking population.)
Danielle or Danny
Thanks in advance for any feedback you're willing to share!
Re: Trying to decide on a name
I have worked w/ a Jynx who was girl-nxt-door in look but could dial up the sexy to 11 when called for. She was definitely not a meek, sweetheart personality at work. I think Jynx is a good name when you want to create a flirty 'do you feel lucky?' persona.
Ethnic names can definitely appeal to the respective clientele (I am EBlok & always capitalised on that, starting w/ my stage name)
As you may have seen in other name-related threads, there will always be those punks who think it's cute to make fun of you thru stupid jokes, & they often start w/ your name. Just smtg to keep in mind when narrowinf down your choices.

Check out the Newbie FAQ stickied at the top of the Newbie Board, where you posted this thread: https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/sh...-Probably-Here! It opens with talk about stage names.
Re: Trying to decide on a name
jinx is probably the only non-real name that would be kinda cute..please don't go with "cloud". i think danny/danni is cute, i used to work with a danny. i doubt many people will get the babs reference
Re: Trying to decide on a name
I like Jinx and Dani. I worked with an Aurora and she was total drama island.
Re: Trying to decide on a name
How about:
Angel
Jezebel Saint.if you dare, ;)
Autumn Spring
Wynter Blaze.
Summer Snow
Bliss
And that's all I can come up with.

Re: Trying to decide on a name
Ugh no more last names on strippers, please. -_- :banghead:
Seriously it's been said ad nauseam. Unless you're a feature a last name serves no purpose except to make you sound like a drag queen or third tier porn star.
Re: Trying to decide on a name
I think Jinx is kinda cute, but it just doesn't sound sexy to me. It kinda reminds me of a name of a cat or dog. I like Aurora the best and my second would have to be Dani/Danielle. I wouldn't go with Babs or Cloud.

Re: Trying to decide on a name
Jinx is kinda cute, but you're going to have to deal with a lot of "Is that your REAAALLL name?" bullshit every.day. Out of all of them I think Danny is best. It's simple. If custies ask, you can tell them your 'real' name is Danielle. When I first started I danced by 'creative' names and it's always more trouble than it's worth. As much as I love my first stage name "Wednesday" I got sick of talking about it every night. I dance by Tori now and 99% of the customers don't bother me about it...Saves a lot of energy for what's important: Talking $$

^These ones are better option, they sound more "real" :).
Re: Trying to decide on a name
I wish so badly that I would have picked a more normal name so that customers stop harassing me about my name as much. Names like Emily and Zooey and Alex are good because the customers usually don't immediately ask what your "real" name is right away, like it even matters. I have a fake real name but when people are especially annoying, I tell them Nova IS my real name and my parents were hippies haha
So of that list I would pick Dani.
Re: Trying to decide on a name
Jinx or danni are the best imo
Re: Trying to decide on a name
Thanks for tips everyone, I'm leaning towards Aurora. Especially because it works well in both French and English.
It's funny though, looking through the name threads, I've noticed that both my real name and my sister's name were suggested as good stripper names. And my other sister who's younger is named after a city. I just chuckle thinking if I was to use any of those name what potential questions people would ask.
Re: Trying to decide on a name
People ask me my real name all the time. "It's Tempest McGee" because bookface won't let me use Tits McGee.
Re: Trying to decide on a name
Enough people answered but I just wanted to add...I agree with no last names!! I have a friend who insists on going by "Jolie Banks" or however she spells it and it's so cheesy!! The new DJ's always look at her like.. really? Especially when you're new to a club and unless you are amazing on stage and putting on a show nobody has seen before it's cheesy! I personally like real sounding names because guys think it's your real name. I always go by Ashley now as long as its available and when guys ask me what my real name is I just say that is my real name and they believe me. My friend always thinks I should pick a "unique" (clearly fake) name but I couldn't pull that off and introduce myself as that with a serious face lol
Re: Trying to decide on a name
I changed my name to Titty Licious. ::)
Re: Trying to decide on a name
Danielle - it's a realistic name so people might not ask you as much about your 'real' name.
