Since we're on the subject of stripper names on another thread, what is the worst one you ever heard? Let's try to confine it to real ones we've actually heard rather than the theoretical funny ones. I'm going to plumb the depths of my memory, but one comes to mind immediately since she was a favorite. "Viviette". Doesn't sound too bad, but she later admitted most guys hated it. They couldn't hear it over the music, they'd call her Vivian, she'd repeat it, etc. etc.
Sorry for the redundancy here...but I hate car names. I find them to be an immediate turn off. At one club I frequent, there was a fake boobed, overly aggressive Mercedes. She was repugnant. While I was having a dance with one girl, she approached us and all but suggested I abandon the lap-in-progress and come with her. I declined and said to the dancer on my lap, "Hmm, her name is Mercedes but she's got more plastic than a Corvette."
I think she singlehandedly ruined me on the car thing~
The worst name I ever heard for a stripper would be Romanticlover. Somehow that name would sound repulsive to me as a stripper. However I heard one dancer said the name sounded good to her and she was going to use it. Now Romanticlover has to share his name with a secret stripper girlfriend, lol.
Now, I'm a big car guy and I can appreciate a dancer named Porsche (as long as they don't pronounce it "porch"!) and Mercedes as they can also be real names. But the girl I met last week, Lamborghini, was a bit much. In fact, she was a bit much in general.
Went out to my favorite club tonight and can now add Arizona to this list. I also seem to remember a Kansas from somewhere. Kansas has nice clubs, but naming yourself Kansas won't do you any favors.
There was a hillarious short lived Fox TV series called "Action" staring Jay Mohr. The (fictional) lead actress inthe movie the show was about making was named Regan Bush. I nearly busted a gut. I thought that would be a great stripper name. Unfortunately the Democrats have recently gone with Clinton Gore, Gore Leiberman, and only recently come up with a decent name Kerry Edwards. I've now broken my own rule limiting it to real ones, so let's hear the imaginary ones..
Apparently, Ariel is a popular stripper name. I hadn't realized it, but somebody in one of the other stripper name threads mentioned Ariel along with Ashley, Heather, etc. Is it because of 'The Little Mermaid'? Often, there will be a name I'll suddenly notice a bunch of strippers using, and I'll have no clue why until somebody tells me it's a soap opera character or a porn star I've never heard of.
Chitown, perhaps Porsche was thinking, "No, silly, like Portia in 'Julius Caesar'." I once asked a Regan whether she took her name from 'The Exorcist' or 'King Lear', and got a blank stare in return. I knew better than to ask Ariel, which reminds me of another worst stripper name I once heard, Tempest.
Oh, come on, Chandler, one of us has to do. Do you think I could inconspicuously sneak in my Riverside Shakespeare from college? A wager...a bag of her favorite candy to the one of us with the nads to do it....are you on?
I think that Ariel comes from a the name of the title character in The Little Mermaid. She told me that Ariel is really her name, but I highly doubt it. You remember the second Reagan term...how frequently do you recall "Ariel" being used as a baby name in that time period?
Felony. However, this might be a good stage name for a dancer who is really playing the Lolita thing. Of course, a dancer like that could just go with "Jailbait."
I know a Cricket, too. The first time I met her , the club music was rather loud, and I kept thinking she was saying,"Trinket." When our misunderstanding was clarified, she said, "Trinket!?! What a stupid name!!!"
Unlike Cricket. Sorry, my bad.
I once had a bad experience with Porsche. When I first met a dancer by that name, I thought she meant Portia, and I said, "Oh, like in _The Merchant of Venice_." As she looked at me like I was nuts or speaking a foreign language, I quickly realized my mistake and played it off. We went on to become good friends.
The great things about SC's is that they are a place for great cultural interchanges, right?
Kia's are high mileage, aren't they? You can't say that for a Porsche, although they'll get you from 0 to 60 in a hurry.
At least Kia, Portia, Lexis and Mercedes are real women's names. A pure brand name that I've heard a couple of times is Nautica. I suppose they're playing off the suggestion of "naughty", which only makes it more lame.
One of my current favorites, who nevertheless has a terrible stripper name, is Cricket. At my favorite club, there is a Sexy (she isn't) and an Obsession. They also have a Ryan, which is not appropriate for a dancer name, considering every Ryan I ever knew was a guy, although she's nice. There is always Lexus and Porsche, and other car names.
At a Chicago club, a young dancer called her self "UH-zotic" and I questioned her and said you mean EXOTIC, right? She became incensed and stated that she knew what her name was (even if she didn';t know what it meant or how to pronounce it IMHO).
In Atlantic City a few weeks ago, stripper told me her name was Satisfaction. I got the point but I still think its stupid. Good looking blonde, deserved to give herself a better name, got her on her first night of dancing ever, maybe she's come to her senses.
