    Default Hey ladies can you take a sec to give me a quick opinion on name changing?

    Hey.. so it's early in the game for me. I'm a fairly new camgirl with a decent amount of fans and followers but not too many.

    When I picked my porn name.. I was not thinking. When you search for Jessie Jay you get many results obviously. I feel like if guys see something with me in it somewhere and they want to see more of me, I'm really hard to find.

    I thought of a name that when you search for it, all you get are clothing items for some reason. I'd be the only person that comes up in a search.

    I'd have to close some accounts and re-open them, which will give me some down time. I'd have to have a new twitter and get my followers to transfer.

    Can I get your opinions on this?

    As a good performer, you will be able to pick up new regs pretty quickly even if your followers don't follow you through the name change. I'd suggest you start up a new twitter and promote that from your old twitter, contact the sites you're on and see if you can just change your account name but if you cannot, start a new account on a new site with the new name, close account on old site, once you are able to start up the new account on old site do that with your new name.

    A good way to secure your new name is to register a domain of yournewname.com and pimp that out on whatever sites you use to promote your current name. The site you set up can contain all the pages you broadcast on, the social networking sites you promote on, and the different ways people can pay you or gift you.

    The sooner you make your switch the better, to avoid any further confusion. And like I said, in adult entertainment there is no shortage of fans to be had, and if you've got any good ones so far they'll stick around.

    You can change your twitter name without making a new account, it's under account settings.

    Also, some sites will allow you to change your performer name without closing and reopening the account, you just need to ask if it's something they will do.

    I recently did this and didn't have to actually close any accounts, so I was able to keep all my followers, favorites, and fans.
    xoxo ~ Sarah

    I've had experience doing this. And I do reccomend doing it as soon as possible if your not happy with your current name. Tho it was probably over 10 years ago that I changed names I just sent out a mail or message to everyone I had at the time and they followed me over themselves...Which is a great thing.
    And slightly amusing to the ones who will later end up sticking with you for over 10 years....my customers even still today so many years later will bring up..."ah I remember when you were Miss Kandee."

    Oh yea...that was me. Bad for me for me for many reasons. Was I original or what?! haha..kandee..eh least I spelled it funky. But yea not something I wanted to be known for forever,slightly embarrassing actually. I sometimes wonder how much our names alone determine how we are treated also.

    Cuz I know since my switched name I've been treated much better....lol

    I agree tho originality is great. When you look up sinistress or sinocalypse...all your gonna gets 20-25 internet pages of me me me me and that's a lovely damn sight so I fully support trying to pick a name that's not all over.

    But on that note I think no matter what you choose others will snatch it. There weren't any when I took the name 11 years ago now there's several about.

    Check this out if your in need of some video or phone scripts
    These are good for clips4sale videos possibly even phone sex if your more of a storyteller.

    Ok ladies thank you so much for the advice.. I'm going to do it. and I thought of a name that is unique, a little bit dark and pretty.. so when it's searched, all you'll see is ME!

    Im going to start figuring out what accounts I can change and which ones I need to close and re-open.

    I just changed my name from MFC specific to [MyCamNameHere]XXX. Very easy on twitter.

    The one other thing to remember to do: Go on twitter once you've changed your name and register your old username again. Put a single tweet that links to your new account. You don't want someone else taking that name in case old custies are looking for you!

    Congrats on deciding to make the switch.

    I personally like having a name that real people use (though no cam/porn girls). It helps with blending in, real-world-wise, without losing followers in the cam world. Looking for me? Just google my screenname + cam or sex. I'm sure the super right-wing Christian who uses my name is probably pretty mad, hahaha. (Yes, I am slightly evil! )

    I've personally switched to a different name on Streamate.

    I just changed my name on twitter and then redirected my old tumblr to a tumblr that had my new name.

    It was pretty painless.

    One of my performer names is actually an intersection in a big city. I've noticed lately that when you look up that cross street the results for me show up above even the bus listings in that area.

    I can only imagine which public servants of that city are currently cursing my existence at this point.
