    Default Starting tonight! Use old stage name or change it?

    After a 2 year break I'm dancing again tonight! This club hired me on the spot and didn't even ask me to audition (a first for me.) This club is kinda middle of the road...Not a dive, but not super upscale either. They don't have any "rules" about stage names so anything is fine. (I've worked at some places where you can only have a "real" sounding name.)

    At my favorite club that I worked at the longest I went by Wednesday...I have kind of a goth-y look...Pale, tattoos and used to dye my hair black so my friends called me Wednesday like Wednesday Adams. My hair is long, red and wavy now. I have a softer look. I also look very young..I"m 28 but am mistaken for being 18 all the time. I'm wondering if I should stick with Wednesday or switch it up? I can't think of another name I LOVE. I like Asha (from the Game of Thrones books) or Leah. If I change I want something simple and easy to pronounce. Thoughts?

    I love this forum so much and I'm so glad I found it. I'm actually super excited to start dancing again and makin' that $$$.

    I think your best bet is to choose a name that has wide appeal. Choose a name that won't have you answering the question "No, but what's your real name" 100x a night. And you will get sick of guys asking you "Oh, like Wednesday Adams? Hardy har har har, I'm so clever..." There are a few girls for whom an unrealistic name would work (e.g. porn stars on dancing tours & dancers with extreme looks), but most of us benefit by having more approachable, but still sexy, names.

    Also remember that Wednesday Adams isn't exactly a sexy cultural icon. You want a name that has mass appeal. A name that can be exchanged and will instantly establish rapport with your customers (as opposed to an unrealistic name, which will have guys doubting you in the first thirty seconds of your conversations). When the guy inevitably says "What's your real name?", you want to be able to convincingly say "Oh, that actually is my real name..."

    I like "Asha" better, but unless you have more of an exotic look, I think it's still a bit out there (this depends on where your club is located, too). It will also be hard for guys to hear the difference between "Asha" and "Ashley" in the noisy club environment. Maybe consider Ashley instead?

    Good luck!! Let us know how it goes.

    Thanks for your input. I did get asked "What's your REAL name?" a billion times a day back then..Also a lot of corny jokes "But today's Thursday! hawhaw!" I would like to market myself with more mass appeal and keep it simple. I've gone by Cory and Roxann too...I didn't like Roxann because every.single.person I met would start singing that stupid song to me. Lol! Cory was okay but seems like a really young name to me.Thanks for the good luck wishes. I'll definitely let you all know how it goes.

    I've always gone by Tempest. When customers ask my real name I say "Tits McGee" "Boobzilla" Big titty T" or any combo thereof. But then I'm also a snarky bitch. If I get asked my name and I'm in a rush "Does it matter?"

    You're the one I always think of whenever I say "sooooome people ::cough cough tempest:: might do better with a less realistic name..."

    My real name is out there for anyone to find since I went on our local radio station with my 2 pet alligators. However I'm not worried about stalkers because I have a machete, 2 alligators and my baby crocodile.
