Right now I know dancers using the same stage name as my daughter and my two grand daughters. I find it kinda creepy. I told one dancer that I couldn't get a dance from her because her name was the same as my daughter's. She said "You can call me anything you like". I said "How about bitch?" She said "That'll work".
So far my mother (RIP) is safe. I have never found one named Edna.
I was enthused about getting dances from one particular dancer once upon a time. That was until she said, ".. and name is Helen." That was my mother's name. There is no way I wanted to be reminded of my mother while getting a lap dance. So, I made some lame excuse to suddenly pretend to be disinterested. Agree with you, SC, it was creepy!
This is a big problem for me. Because I had a beloved Aunt Gertrude, I can never bring myself to get a lap dance from a stripper called Gertrude, not matter how hot she may be.
When I encountered a dancer with my mother's name, I hesitated for a fraction of a second and then went for it. This dancer was crazy gorgeous, and the dances were excellent. A name is just a name.
I've asked strippers a few times if I could call them by some other name, usually when they had the same name as one of my ex-wives, once when her name was just plain stupid. They always oblige.
I'm with the earlier poster who said a name is just a name. Of course I can't think of a time I encountered a stripper with the same name as a family member. I have, however, had trouble with seeing classmates or others I knew from school working in a club and then forgetting to call them by their stage name...
Oddly enough, I never met one named Diana, my mother's name. I think it's odd because that's one of those Roman goddess names and she was the goddess of childbirth. Or maybe it's not so odd.
What's really weird is I've met several named Danny, or some variation of Danny, which was the name I went by as a kid and my mother still calls me that. Never met one who was worth it, though.

@Shadowcat - shouldn't you be asking yourself why your family members are named after strippers? ;-)
Which came first the stripper or the family member. :)
sc,
I've seen dancers with my daughter's name, my mother's, a grandmother's, and many other family members. Even one used my son's name.
Clubber - I hope that I don't run into one with my son's name. That would be too creepy because my son was named after me. :)
Yes, that would bother me. :)
