    Why did you choose your stage name?

    My stage name is Colleen O'Reilly. Colleen means GIRL in Irish; in this business everybody always calls you a girl, no matter how old you are. Besides, I think it's pretty. I wanted a "normal" sounding name because I got tired of hearing, "Aw, c'mon. What is your REAL name?" And I took O'Reilly for Radar O'Reilly, the company clerk on M*A*S*H*, because I was a company clerk in the Army.

    I chose this name about 8 years ago, and it feels as much a part of me as my real name (which I also chose, BTW. I went to court and had my first name legally changed) The only thing I dislike about it is, sometimes customers don't understand when I am telling them my name. The think it's Kelly or Connie or some shit. Some guys who are not native English speakers can't even pronounce it!

    I also used to go by Vixen (high school nickname!) Storm Ryder, Misty Knight . . . . and probaly some others that I can't remember.

    What is your stage anme? Why di dyou choose it? What other names have you used that you really loved, and which ones did you choose and then regret?

    I'm back to Veronica for a stage name again. I chose it because...well... I was actually *baptized* Veronica after my great grandma. I've used it instead of my birth name for years anyway (my first name is obscure, French, not Catholic and invariably gets spelled wrong anyway).

    mine is nikki, because that's what everybody has called me forever (it's just a nickname of my real name which i'm not sure my parents used at all because no one in my life has ever called me by it). i used it because i'm guaranteed to respond to it and it feels natural to me.

    My real name is Amber, and the first time/first club I worked at, a young ex-dancer gave me the name Kendall, because it was her little neices name, and she thought it fit me.

    mine "Peachez" was the most ridiculous yet, cute name i could think of.
    i didnt want guys to ask if my name was real or not, so i thought i'd make it obvious.


    the bouncers used to say my bottom resembled a peach

    then it was creamin peachez then they added the s

    I just have always loved the name Kryssy. I also choose it when I started in Ohio, because I have a southern accent and I thought the named sounded a lil country.

    my dance name is the name of a character in a series of stories i wrote. it was only after coming up with the name for the stories that i found out it's a french form of marie (the name is mariset). some guys can't say it, and spanish-speakers usually call me marisel or marisol or marisa, but being able to say 'it's a version of marie' makes customers think marie is my real name 'gussied up' for club use. i like it better than my real name, it sounds much prettier.

    I picked Kelly because well, you guys did . It was one of my choices because I think it fits my school girl image and is pretty close to my real personality to the point where I'm used to being called that.

    My stage name is ACE. As stupid as it might be. For some reason it just stuck and I can't seem to find a name that I like that fits me. LOL

    When I started, I went by Stacy. It was the name of a girl I worked with at a "regular" job, and I couldn't stand her....so it was little mind-trip thing...a way to be rebellious, even though she never knew! ha! Now I go by Abagail....it's the name I always said I'd name my next daughter...but now I know I'm not having more children, so I decided I'd use it for myself instead :-) Plus, it's easy to tell customers "oh, that IS my real name"...since it's a normal name..and they always buy it.

    Sapphire Danger.

    My now ex mother in law chose Sapphire for me...I picked Danger because I always seemed to be involved in some sort of scandal and breaking boy's hearts.

    "Danger is my middle name" used to be one of my catch phrases.

    We have the same stage name. I picked it because it sounds like a real name, and because I look like the minature barbie, ....the kelly doll. Fits me perfect.

    I go by Kitana. Around 9 1/2 yrs ago,was roomies with 2 guys that always played video games. Well they got me started playing too and I got really good at it. Anyway when I went to a new club they already had a Daniella(old stage name), so my roomie Bob says, why not use Kitana? You kinda look like her and you kill in the game, so maybe it will work.

    Long story short, I did, and it's stuck ever since.

    Mine is Robyn. The manager at the first club I ever worked at picked it because there wasn't one already. I thought it was good enough and I could always change it later. Well, I've been Robyn for 14 years now and I answer to it probably better than my real name. It's a normal name so I don't get the "what's your real name?" question very often. Most people assume it is my real name and when they find out it's not they invariable think I look more like a Robyn than a ******!

    I actually had someone who helped me start dancing suggest Cianna to me. She had always wanted to name herself that when she was a dancer, and she said that I would suit the name well. What a sweetie!!
    I love my stage name...I even got a canary yellow fur blanket made with Cianna spelled out in white velvet across it. It glows on stage like crazy!!!

    I've used the name Paige for... ever! It's stylish, classy, and not overused like some names. D'Winter? I love the story of the 3 Musketteers, and I took the villaness' name, DeWinter, and changed it up a bit. All together the name sounds regal, icy, powerful, and I dig it.

    Though, the Turn The Paige joke gets old sometimes LOL....

    i chose my names when i danced because guys always told me i had sweet innocent looks, i chose Angel when i danced at 18 and Serenity when i danced at 20. I only realized that i picked 2 very spiritual names after i quit dancing, maybe my subconcious chose them to protect me or give me a sign of some sort, all i can say is they didnt do too good a job protecting me because i still got raped.

    I choose my name orginally from a book by V.C Andrew which is Heaven-Lee, I just thought it was so pretty! But After my first tie dancing they said I couldn't use b/c it doesn't sound "realistic" enough. So now I am Serenity b/c it is the closest thing.....

    Re: Why did you choose your stage name?

    I chose the name TiaMaria because of a guy I knew who died when he was 21.He was into Bob Marley and Peter Tosh.He said when he has a daughter he wants to name her Tiamaria.Well since He never got the chance to live his life and have that little girl,I chose it so perhaps the name would live on.He used to wear a T shirt that read,Make it with TiaMaria!And had a picture of a TiaMaria Bottle of Liqore'.(Pretty Bottle BTW)So,That's where I picked my name from.
