    I use my real name as my first choice (and preference) of 'stage' name. Since no club can have two girls with the same name I have also chosen a second ("back up") name to use which is fake.

    When someone asks "c'mon what's your real name" ... I say "my stage name is my real name". If they continue to persist and don't believe me... then I will make up a fake real name just to satisfy them (some patrons (not customers) can be that annoyingly persistant and argue with me). Whether I tell them the name I'm using is my real name or give them another name as my real name.... I always inform them "That it is useless for you to know my real name as no one at the club will know who you are speaking about as they all know me by my stage name only".


    I'm personally not worried about security as no one can stalk you based upon knowing your first name only. They need to know soooooo much more information. Besides, in this day and age, if someone is really determined to stalk you.... "if there is a will there is a way". It isn't like I'm totally dismissive about personal safety just that I don't find I need to adopt another name for security/safety reasons.

    As for the fantay, fun aspect and separating my stripper self from my real self... I don't really ascribe to all of that... as the aspects I use as part of my stripper persona at work are parts of me... I'm a natural flirt, I love performing, and so on are parts of me I won't deny... I just "exagerate" certain aspects whilst at work. As for the fantasy and fun... that's why strippers don't have a formal last name or the environment is 'normal' in any way.... that's just part of the experience... having a 'fake' name won't necessarily 'add' to this (nor will it take away from it).

    So there you have it. I use my real name as my first preference. If I can't use my real name, then I have another 'fake' name to use (my "back up"). For competitions and anything else, I have a more "full" stripper name (two names which is actually my real name and my "back up" name together).

    The reason I say safety is because I know a few(3 to be exact)girls that have had this happen to them. If you live in a small area and work remotely close to where you live, in this case an hour away, it is very possible for someone to get your real first name only and go around asking about you. Someone's bound to know you. Like you said..in this day and age they have the means to stalk you no matter what. I just like to have that extra hurdle just in case. Plus, I never worked at a club where you could use your real name. I've worked at clubs where you have to use a real sounding name, but it couldn't be yours.

    Why? Because my real name is a grandmother's name and who wants a lap dance from their grandma? My real name is also unique and I could be found really easy since the area I live in is pretty small. Just because we have stage names does not mean we need to hide behind it due to us not being proud of what we do. Dancing is a fantasy world for customer's and dancers alike, so a stage name puts you in that mood. By day I am a mother with my own name, at night........I am Chloe! The sexpot everyone wants.

    You have fake names, because then people cant look you up, find out where you live. Stalkers are a big thing in this business. Having a fake name just makes it harder for them.

    I prefer to be as anonymous as I can to potential stalker types.

    I love my real name and would prefer to use it. But, there is already a Jessica at every club. I do like Dream though, it's super cheesy stripperish...

    There you go Naomi. Now that I know your real name, I don't have any choice but to travel to the other side of the planet just to stalk you.

Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!"

    Saturday night at the club, I tipped a lady on stage. She smiled. I asked her name. The smile disappeared and she looked confused for a moment. "I don't know!" she told me with a grin. I laughed. She turned back to the pole and then spun around again. "Eva!" she stated triumphantly. "My name is Eva." "Nice to meet you, Eva." I replied.
    "See, believe it or not (and I don't care whether you do), it's never been about the sex. I get sex at home, anytime, and we like it, and it's good for both of us. No, my stripclub experience has been about acceptance, and affirmation, and desirability...There have been some women who have a personality that just clicks with mine, and in the faux-sex atmosphere of the club, it's a mix that is completely seductive." - Jay Zeno

    Fake names because there is crazy-stockig fans! And if they have half your name it makes it a little easier to find out your last name and other info. Also, strip clubs are like a different reality like a non-stop party. A different name is only fitting for the theme!!! I also think it helps to feel more sexy!!!

    I use my fake name for safety. As with some other women here, my name is pretty unique and I don't live in a really huge town; so, a real first name could go a long way towards finding me. if I lived in L.A. or Chicago, I doubt I'd worry about it as much. The name was given to me at the first club I ever danced at, and I still dislike the name. Unf, I danced with it long enough I don't answer to anything else and so keep it. That club absolutely would not allow you to use your real name, and several others I've worked at have the same policyl

    I've actually BEEN stalked 4 times in my 12 years as a stripper, and it's not a pleasant experience. 2 of these were women I work with, despite my having never made any advances nor having accepted any of theirs. They were both fired from the clubs I was in at the time, but I ended up having to get a restraining order on one of them. The other two stalkings were men. Both were banned from the clubs I was working in, and I had to file restraining orders on them both. I did nothing to encourage pursuit by these guys--neither were even my regulars--and one of them flat out scared the hell out of me by threatening a variety of things I won't go into here. The other was just annoying because I was in college at the time and he kept showing up on campus and harrassing me to go out with him, etc. Don't ask me how he found out I was in college--I have no frickin' clue. My guess is he got it from one of the other girls. This means that NONE of my personal life EVER comes into the club with me anymore, even just chatting with the girls. I am friendly and all the girls and I get alone (I work in a very friendly club, which is nice), etc., but none of them know my real name, where I live, or anything else.

    Paranoid? Perhaps. But, given my history, I'd rather be paranoid that raped and/or dead.

    Also, my husband works in State government, and while I am not ashamed of what I do, all it takes is one conservative superior to halt my hubby's career. This is the same reason I work well over an hour from where I live.
