Stage Names
rhiannon529
So I used to work as a dancer in some well known Dallas area clubs at age 18, loved it and was making money. Seven years later I’m going to grad school with shitty clubs and So taking a year off dancing, but I’m currently writing a memoir/doing research about club demographics, etc.
My question is: Do you prefer traditional stripper type names such as Diamond, Scarlett, Cristal, Sinnamon, Angel, Princess etc., or more mainstream names such as Nicole, Michelle, Hailey, Katie, Jessica, Natalie etc.? Which is your preference (customers and dancers both), what type of club do you usually visit, etc.)? Thanks for your participation!

Names do have an effect, even if subconsciously, on how you view someone. As my best SC wingman points out, I tend to prefer strippers who come off a bit more princessy (vs ghetto, or ho-ish, or hustle-y, or GPSy, or nymph-y), and the whole effect is a little tougher if I'm calling her Bambi
-normally go to mid tier clubs
LOL
A few dancers pick a name that somewhat reflects their personality - at least for that moment. That thoughtfulness is appreciated.
Montana from Ricks in Austin - lived up to her name. No speed limits. Lived wild and in the fast lane.
Enigma from Bare in Austin - changed hairstyle, personality and attitude every so often. Always a surprise.
Harmony from Divas in Austin - She gives a head massage, shoulder massage during a lapper while straddling on you. Whole body experience.
But then there was Pleasure from Palazio. She was pleasure, only barely. When parting she said "It was pleasure doing business with you". I had to say "But it was business having pleasure with you".
I could care less about their names. I will forget them as soon as I walk out. If they give me their phone number (happens about 75% of time), I just put their stage name in, followed by RN and city so that I can quickly pull them up in my phone when in that town. Otherwise, I really don’t care what their name is, real or fake.
Mid tier and dive clubs.

Smart talk
Another dancer and I were on the subject of names and she liked Alibi.
I assume they think of it as sexy in a bad-girl kinda way.
Now that said, there have been a few names I heard that didn't seem to work, such as: Olga, Olive, Gertrude, Pearl, Hazel, Henrietta, and Helga.
Other times there have been names that work, except when there are several dancers. For instance I have known several Jay's and Kay's, but having a Jay and a Kay in the same club is a bit too much.
Same with similar sounding names such as Anaya, Anya, Anaira, Anika, and Anita, all working at the same club. I was interested in Anaya and almost asked for Anaira.
I always prefer when a girl takes time and thought to come up with a name that fits her. Sometimes it's between typical and unusual like Pheonix, Reva, Serene, or Leandra. And if it fits her personality, so much the better. But if it's too obtuse like---I kid you not---Girl#7, you might be hesitant unless she looks so hot she melts everything around her.
Bottom line, the name game is fun, but guys remember how the woman looked and if the look matched the experience---provided it was a great experience.
I would get dances from a girl that approached with "Hi, I'm Tight."
I think all guys in SC's (many would never admit it) are looking for a human CONNECTION--even if it's imaginary. But a "pretend human connection" is still...technically...a type of connection.
So I think the NAME CAN BE very important to the patron on an emotional level and the Lady on a business level (*I highly respect the business/sales aspect of being a stripper).
That said, "traditional stripper names" like Diamond, Sparkles, Delilah, Star etc. are pointless. Not a problem, but it immediately shuts down the possibility of a top-rate connection.
An interesting "strategy" I feel I've encountered is the "my stage name is...__Rose__, but you can call me Rachel." When a girl does this, I still don't believe "Rachel" is her real name. And I don't care about knowing her real anyways (unless the friendship has grown and grown over dozens of encounters). Nonetheless, it's not much different than offering someone your "nick-name."
The ".... But you can call me ______, everyone does!" This is a very good approach.
An overly common name like Ashley may be better than Diamond, but easily forgotten (Though, again, "My name is Ashley, but you can call me Ash" half way through the encounter would make a difference.)
Another best approach would be a truly unique name like ... "Orchid" ... that is uncommon can stand out **IF** it comes with an explanation. Explaining one's name is always a great connection.
Lastly, sociologically, if a name isn't used regularly it loses its power. So "what's in a name" if it's only said once at the beginning and forgotten 15 seconds later.
Conclusion: use a name to connect, not as a mere title.
*I prefer only top notch professional beauties and establishments.
I would also avoid some of the more ancient mainstream names, ie. Gertrude, Ruth, Betsy, Bertha.
Express yourself. You seem to be very intelligent, vivacious and educated. A rose by any other name... I think 'Anytime' could be cute, depending on the club. Since you are considering a memoir, make it memorable, so perhaps your loyal custies can recognize you once you are published. Probably have to keep it somewhat reasonable since the other dancers may dislike anything too bold. Have fun with it, you have time to decide while you are finishing your grad work.
And tell us the name when you have made a decision.
One Asian dancer called herself Malaise, probably trying to sound like Malaysia, until she was told what the word malaise meant.
Lately I have heard a lot of dancers named Dallas, Diamond, Phoenix, Dakota, Lexus, Cherokee, Asia, Sugar, Princess, Raven, Athena, Serenity and Paris. The name Mercedes I haven't heard much lately.
I once mentioned to a dancer named Cherokee that the club has four dancers named after cars here, Mercedes, Lexus, Porsche, and a Jeep Cherokee. She was not amused.
A few that I have only heard one or two called lately are Rose, Cinnamon, Melody, Luna, and Bambi all of which were more common a few years ago.
Its about the money, not whether I actually give a shit that your stage name is cute.
The other night - a Russian stripper told me her name - and made sure to tell me its spelled with an N not an M. I didn't care
Maite, Jade, Dream, Jessi, Catalina, Carmen, Spring, Giselle, Annie, Laurissa, Eva, Aniyah
In my anecdotal observation it's the weird and obscure and somewhat masculine names that don't help a stripper's cause. For example here in Portland I've seen dancers with names like Hulk, Atlas, and Max and none of them make me anywhere near interested in going to see them.
Now as a coping mechanism I have a couple cute names I use regularly when I meet dancers. I’ll usually start the convo with, “Hi Lust Muffin!” “I’m a horny old man”. Usually makes them laugh and I can follow up raving about how pretty they are, their great stage show, cute costume that drives me crazy or just how fucking hot they are and how i would love to pleasure their girly parts. If they laugh and carry it on I know I’ve got a winner if not I know she’s crabby and to disengage ASAP. Last time I was in a club, I played this game only to have a really cute 19yo stripper sit in my lap, guide my hand to her love nub and cover my arm up with her extra costume part as I fingered her until I had a wet spot on my leg that I’m pretty sure wasn’t pee because she was showing signs of enjoying my antics.
I typically tend to avoid dancers with two names, because many have been a bit stuck up on themselves, but a few were good.
I think the idea of a stage name makes me more likely to think she's going to be a ROB
