    Default My name is taken!

    I've been reading various reviews of the club I want to work at, and one that was posted about a month ago said there's already a dancer there with my chosen stage name! I am so attached to this one. I guess I'll have to see if she's still working there and have an alternate name to use if she is.

    Has anything like that ever happened to you?

    Oh Yes.. Don't you love when that happens? When I started out at my very first "dancing" job, I was a waitress/house dancer. Being that I wasn't really into the dancing part just yet, I didn't want a stage name, so I wanted to use my real name. Wouldn't you know, someone was already there with MY real name? grrr.. So, unfortunately, I had to pick a new one. I eventually left and got a full on dancing job at another club, but I hated the fact that I couldn't use my name.. lol

    I'm kinda the opposite of Pooja, I try to pick "normal" names. I typically dance by Nina or Elena, but pretty much every name in the club I wanted to work in in Vegas was already taken.

    I was "Cordelia" there, after King Lear's daughter in the Shakespeare play. Anyway, I'd introduce myself in Vegas as Cordelia but if they asked my "real" name I'd say Nina or Elena.

    I prefer my names to be plausible. I just couldn't pull off being an "Insomnia", "Heavenly" or "Alias". All, BTW, actual stage names of dancers I've worked with...

    Yeah, I like natural-ish names too. The funny thing is, my real name would be great because it's not common but not out there either, and I love it. When I went to visit the club I want to work at the girls all said they loved my name. They probably thought I was making it up!

    I have had my stage name taken as well, I have used Gynger mostly, but in a previous thread I gave out my other names too. Sometimes, its just luck of the draw that your name ISN'T taken. Names I've used other than Gynger were : Geneeva, Charlie, Allegra (before the medicine was out) and Tess.

    If you have a second fave, use that one. I know a girl who picked her stage name after her best friend... I thought that was kinda interesting.. so she used her best friend's name, some girls I have worked with have used their daughter's names, their mother's names, their dog's names etc... What's in a name?

    haha yeah, I've made up a list now. When I do amateur night I'll just run down the list with someone who works there. "okay, do you guys have a ____?" "yes" how about "____?" and just go on and on until I find a good one that isn't taken!

    I guess I have been lucky. I have used Kitana for almost 10 yrs now and I have only found 2 other girls with that name. One I met personally, and the other I talked to online through some one else on this site. I really don't know what I would do if I went somewhere else and I couldn't be me. My stage name is part of me now, I guess I would find somewhere else to work.

    I just now realized how crazy it is that we can&#039;t have more than one person with the same name. Can you imagine going in to a new office job and hearing "oh, we already have a Jane, three cubicles down, you&#039;ll hafta pick a new name."

    The only time this is a problem for me is when both my first choice and second choice of name are taken.... then I have to actually come up with something else... and usually it isn&#039;t exactly a name I like.

    I think I&#039;ll need at least 5 names I&#039;m kewl with using instead of just two hey? hmm...

    Usually for us customers, the only name we know you by is your stage name. It's a good idea to keep it simple, easy to pronounce and most importantly easy to remember.

    I think part of the reason why two dancers can't have the same name is because the club wants to help keep things simple for the customer. If a customer calls the club looking for Jane, the club can't go "Jane who? Jane Smith or Jane Jones? Jane from marketing or sales?"

    --------------------------------------------------------------

    Could you imagine the following conversation if there were 3 to 5 girls named 'Jane' working at a club:

    Customer: Hi, I'm driving in from out of state I was wondering if Jane will be dancing tonight?

    Club: Jane who? The tall Jane, short Jane, blonde Jane, brunette Jane?

    Customer: Oh? Uh, never mind.
