    Default Re: Dancing under your real name...

    My girlfriend always danced under her real name - at least when I met her - but she's been away for a year and now she feels the need to go back. It's going to take some time to transition back into that kind of relationship - for both of us and she truly wants our relationship to stay as strong as its become . So I've asked her - for my sake - to work under a stage name for now. It would help me to know that the men she dances for do not know her real name. That's for me. It will help with this step back into sharing her on weekends. Is asking her to use a stage name unfair on my part?

    I understand why you feel the way you do, but your GF may hve valid reasons for wanting to use the same name she used before. The most compelling one (to me, anyway) would be that she has a bunch of regualrs or was well-known locally and wnats peopel to recognise her from before. On my LAST trip through this business, I got slightly fameous, and this time around, a number of people have said to me, "Oh, I know you, you are COLLEEN from way back!"

    If that is what she is banking on, you will not get her to change it. OR she may really LOVE her name, and jsut not want to be called by anything else.

    If I were you, I woudl content myself with the REAL personal information that only you know, all her personlaity quirks and her history that make her who she is regardless of her name. Hell, even the DMV knows her name!

    chances are that everyone will beleive it's a stage name anyway.

    it'll be good thing also if she has a habit of refering to herself in th third person.

    last week i got my current number 2 too do that. now i know her first name.

    not really that big a deal. showed at least she trusts me on some level.

    Yeah, people will assume her name is already a stage name. And, like Colleen said, guys may already know her by that name. Just have her come up with a fake "real" name 'cause guys always ask "so, what's your REAL name?". I wouldn't worry about it. Now if she was giving out more personal information, then I'd be worried.

    I know a few girls who use "regular" names as their stage names. Jamie, Brittany, and Lindsey. Are those their stage or real names? Hell if I know. Sometimes, the regular names are more commonly used, and most assume the names are purely stage names. If the customer is pushy and wants to know her real name, I'm sure she has a few set aside for just that. If she's done this before, she probably knows how to handle those situations. Take comfort in the fact that she's not a newbie and more likely than not knows what she's doing.

    I dont think its entirely unfair but like the other posters said she could have regulars that would reconize her well by her name...that means more money for her if they do. I think its an odd request but its not like your asking of something MUCH bigger than a name. If all you have is a simple name change request then I guess thats a good thing.

    But, in some respects if you trust her enough to handle herself and not give out any information or do any extra things she should keep her name anyways.

    i gotta say that stage names can be a very intelligent tool. people really can get personal information once they have a name, even a first name.

    i had a reg. customer whom i shared my first name with. i thought it was harmless enough. next thing i know this older man was enrolled in classes with me at my college.

    i dont think you being out of line with your request

    BUT REMEMBER THAT IT IS ULTIMATELY HER DECISION

    Well DUH!!!!!

    Just how many people at your school are named screamin???
    It kinda sticks out and even i could find your name on the roll call sheet.

    I dont agree with an entertainer ever using her real name,its a safety issue 100%,so i agree with you about her name,only i dont think we have the same reasons for not wanting her to use her real name.
    I would suggest she use a stage name for HER sake,NOT yours.

    Best of luck dude,pick your battles wisely.
