Some suggest that a topic for a "10 things" article could deal with good and bad stripper names. I am not sure I could get enough mileage out of that topic for an article, but it's been a while since there was a discussion thread on stripper names.
My vote would go to the stripper no introduced herself to me as "Cheyenne". "Ah, like the Indian tribe," said I. Blank stare from her. "How do you spell it?" I ventured. With an arched eyebrow suggesting I must be slightly dense se replied, "Shy Ann".
Car names are very popular in strip clubs. Nearly every club has a collection of strippers dancing under auto names such as, Porsche, Mercedes, Lexus, etc. Just a matter of time until one of the bigger boned strippers selects a "truth in advertising" name such as "F150 Pickup."
The strippers around here (Detroit) all seem to have such boring, predictable names that none stand out either good or bad. I sometimes ask them if I can use a different name, like that of a girl I knew in high school who looks like them, so I can remember it.
Speaking of Detroit, on another site some guys who look for strip club extras were all stirred up by a dancer at a low-end high mileage club who dubbed herself "LEO", which happened to be their code name for the local vice squad (as in LE, Five-Oh).
And I actually new a girl at the Market Street Cinema long ago who called herself Chastity....
I've heard some pretty bad names in my 20 years of club-going. I can't state a specific worst name, though. Generally, I prefer stage names that are genuine girls' names. I don't like stage names that are words, such as: sexy, baby, babydoll, desire, precious, allure, ecstasy, fantasy, luscious, etc. Stereotypical stripper names, such as Belle and Starr, are marginally acceptable. However, I just met a dancer who might fit the the category my worst name discovered to date: "Buttercup."
This probably does not count since it was not a "real" stage name, but I once was a regular customer of a dancer who went by the name of "Ashtray." OK . . . her stage name as actually "Astrid" but the DJ seemed to have a problem pronouncing it so it always sounded like Ashtray.
Hugh- I just met a dancer tonight who goes by Chastity. That seems like the wrong name to have for a dancer. One of my favorites, who's back to dancing again, has Chastity as her real name, but she was smart to call herself Sugar.
Club-Goer, Buttercup is the name of the princess in "The Princess Bride", a film which is regarded as a cult classic, probably because Andre the Giant was in it. I've known a couple Buttercups, and neither were bad.
There's a girl at my favorite club called D. She's a sweet girl and much smarter then the others that work there. My ATF went from using a full name to just four letters of her name. I hate when they use stage names that are my sisters or niece name.
Grandson: "Grandpa, you read that part wrong. Buttercup doesn't marry Humperdink, she marries Westley. I'm just sure of it. After all that Westley's done for her, if she didn't marry him, it wouldn't be fair." Grandpa: "Who ever said life is fair? Where is that written? Life isn't always fair."
There is some subtle irony there in the stripper/customer/loser boyfriend dynamic. But I doubt if that's why she chose the name "Buttercup"
State names may be a reference to where the dancer is from (I know of more than one Jersey) . . . and it would be easy for her to remember. On occasion I've had a dancer actually forget her own name (usually because she is new to the club and danced elsewhere under a different name).
Edna. Brazilian chick who doesn't speak a lot of English. Could be her real name for all I know. Would love to know the thought process that went into picking that one!
turning this around to customers, a dancer at the Mons Venus, where they get a lot of tourists, says she danced with a lot of Asian guys who barely spoke any English and when she would ask them their name, they almost universally replied "John"
Peggy Bundy's mother called herself Buttercup during her stint as a phone sex operator. She was never seen on the show but was alway portrayed as morbidly obese and bed bound on "Marrried with Children."
Tip Drill --- did she choose the name from the song by Nelly? Or, based on her photo and the explanation of what a "tip drill" is, maybe the other way round?

last commentEvery club these days has a dancer that uses that name that is 'heaven" spelled backwards
And then pronounces it wrong: Neh <i>vee</i> yuh
Me: Cool. You like that group? Very retro of you.
Her: It's a group? I thought it was a type of music. I wasn't really sure what type, though...
Me: Yeah...it was a group, not a type of music. You know, Bryan Ferry...Love is the Drug...More Than This...
Her: [Blank stare.]
Me: You should google it. You might like it.
Her: I'll do that! ...so...you wanna dance...?

Another Detroit fav.

I VERY prefer the use of a REAL name. It "personalizes" the interlude a bit more.

Shadow your such a pimp ! The day I see juice or juicy on stage I'm going to damn near kill myself to get to her ! Lol !
Be careful, be very careful! vm is a "back room" whore! He even tried to get me back there, once upon a time. :)

Lol
Gee, odd they all had the same name
I've seen my fair share of Dakotas, except that I doubt any of them lived in North or South Dakota. I've known a Kansas, which seems weird.
but I dont know any strippers named Indiana.
