    Default What would you do? My name!!!

    Okay...so I have a new persona, picked out a name I love, built my website, advertising all over with it in my username...

    And then, I came across a lady in my city who has the same last name, its not a standard one, kind of unusual, which has me to thinking I must have just seen it a million times and it sort of popped out of my head when I was name picking.

    So, now Im looking at just dropping the last name altogether, cause yannow, even though its just a last name and she and I are complete opposites, I would be pretty annoyed if someone else was using the last name I have for my established persona...as no one else (that I know of) is using it.

    Anyway, as my luck would have it, its in my website address, my gmail address, all my usernames for sites Ive signed up for, and Ive watermarked my pics with it (though thats the easiest thing to fix)

    Now, what would you do? Like, if I just left everything the same, but then advertise myself with just my first name?
    Or should I just scrap everything and start over....what would you do? Whats the fair thing to do?

    Ummm..... ok I'm a little confused. You want to change your whole persona because you accidentally picked the same last name as someone else?? Dude who cares. It's a last name. You know what my last name was when I was working .. do you know how many escorts had that same last name? If your full name and her full name sounded the same I would change it but I wouldn't start all over just because you happened to pick the same last name.

    Not change my whole persona...just drop my last name. I dont know... blah

    But yeah, just like you said, so many escorts had your same last name,
    but this one is pretty unusual, plus shes right here in my city, otherwise I wouldnt care so much.
    Just feeling icky about it...hrmmm...

    Okay, yeah, I wont go through changing *everything* but I will just advertise myself with my first name.

    And you will find that SOOO many escorts have your first name as well so you're better off keeping the first name so no one gets you mixed with someone else ya know?

    Speaking of names though, Ive noticed BR ladies then to go by only a first name, a *lot* of "Body Rub by ___"
    I kind of wonder why that is... No one else in my city (that Ive been able to find) has my first name,
    and when I travel, Ill be the one visiting, so not too worried about getting mixed up.

    Considering most guys get my escort name wrong and still find me that'll be okay.

    My name is a common first name and "of NYC". Nobody really says anything. Maybe you can put your first name and city as a subheader. If anyone ever mentions it just joke around and say she is your cousin. Not a big deal at all. You didn't pick Obama or anything did you? I need a last name and just thought of mine when I wrote that.

    HAAAA!!! I think Obama is a fine name Go for it Lmfao

    Yeah, I did think about using my city in my name, but I wanna get the hell out of here lol So dont wanna tie myself in that way.

    Im feeling better about it though, I mean, it was my kneejerk reaction to change everything immediately.
    Now that Ive had some sleep, I feel better about it. I have a way of making snap decisions that dont turn out well,
    so Im glad I held off and wrote about it instead

    "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. .."

    Old time tested quote I know.. Yet your really should stop focusing on something as silly as a stage name and more on what it is that sets you apart from all the other girls dancing in your area.After all.. A name is just that a name. Likewise most if not all of the people you'll find dancing for won't have cause to remember your name unless your act / performance gives them cause to.

    So my advice to you once again would be this.. Spend more time finding out what your niche is as an entertainer so you can bring that with you to the stage in the hopes of giving a performance worth remembering.

    Life is but a stage dear ChefKitty and all of us are just actors playing the parts fate has assigned to us. Be it the Dancer, the DJ, the Model, the Photographer, or the Escort. Each and every one of us make our living by enrich the lives of others thanks to the tricks of our given trades. As such even an escort can reap the benefits of never forgetting that fact. For more then anything her clients want to be wowed. As such her job really is to putting on a bit of a show for her clients. Which it is that extra element of showmanship that will help her grow within her given market.

    These guys better remember my name...I market the hell out of it

    Yeah, its slightly different I think than with dancing.
    I spend extended devoted time one on one with these guys.
    Im sure that with body rubs it wont be as intimate as it is with escorting...but still...

    Considering that just yesterday, a guy Ive never met before called a girl out for using my photos
    and went off on her with "you are not THE (my name here)" its clear that in my line of biz, our name is indeed important.

    This wasnt really about me putting on a show or wowing the guys, thats not my issue lol
    I was worried about having the same last name, but Im over it now.

    Alllll the same! No one else in my area has my first name, and none at all with my first/last name combo.
    So...I think Ill be alright...Thanks tho!

    I agree with lovelyme. Since the name has already been heavily marketed I would just leave things the way they are unless both your first and last name are similar. Using my name as an example I would worry about guys confusing me with someone who named herself Anna-Lee Bell or Elise Bell or similar, but Catherine Bell or even Anneliese Bryant wouldn't concern me at all. Overlap like that happens. As long as you aren't out there blatantly creating your persona by ripping content from other companions then you should be fine.
