Pole “stage” name
-
The issue I have is that my ‘normal’ name already sounds like a stage name! I’m Kitty (well, legally I’m Kathryn, but only to my grandmother!), but so many pole dancers/burlesque artists/etc. use ‘Kitty’ as a stage name…I feel like shouting ‘hands off my name, bitch!’ LOL
I’ve changed to using Kath in real life now, to try and sound a bit more ‘grown-up’, but that doesn’t make an interesting pole name. -
Hehe… this is a great thread!
I have never been able to come up with a good performance name. Ever. I dont know why. I tried out Violette Skye, and its just not me. I have had lots of suggestions from people, including Poison (bc I love that band), Inertia (which I really disliked, but love that Massive Attack song), etc etc. There has always been something that makes it hard for me to adopt a name and feel comfortable becoming that character.
A burlesque group that I perform with forced me into choosing a name, so I do aerial burlesque as Bijou Blanc, but I can't find myself in that name either. But something had to go in the program. 🙂
My pet/road name would be Footloose Thomas…? yes. I had a cat that my siblings and myself named Footloose. Seeing it typed out makes me feel like a weirdo. bahaha.
-
@maegan – Maegan Wolf sounds awesome! I like Maegan Fatale too…
My pet/street name would be Dakota Brockwood …lol, Dakota is good. Brockwood though? meh.
-
Hahahaha my porn star name with the pet/street method is Fifi Brookfield hahahahaha
-
oh my god mine would be keylee alberta drive…. has no ring to it… I like keylee though
-
Haha, first pet/street name = Odyssey Empire. Could not make this stuff up!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

This is my very first post here (I'm a lurker! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_batman.gif) but I had to respond to this!
I've never had a reason to have a stage name, so I've never really tried to think of one, but if I went with the first pet/street name model, I'd be Puppy Freedom. ROFL!!! Not a good name at all!
-
If we went by the first pet and street name I would be Snugglebunny Lilac….. not sure how I feel about that one…
-
First pet / street name I’d be Smokey Hill…. Tequila Lily comes from my love of Tequila & being obsessed with Lily Allen’s song The Fear a few years back 🙂
-
I love this thread. 🙂
I've never had reason to have a stage name, but know that I like my first pet/street name: Ginger Van Meter.
I used to work at an all-inclusive resort and we would sometimes see who could tell folks the most outrageous, yet believeable story. I used to tell folks all the time that my name was Giovanna and my dad was from Africa and my mom from Italy. 😉 (they're both just plain American, lol)
-
Thanks for all the suggestions, guys! (I've been away from SV all weekend – in-laws were in so nothing pole related. 😛 I'm coming out to them as a pole dancer, soon, though– hiding is too hard.)
Meg the Knife makes me smile, I would have loved that when I was doing straight burlesque since it's more humorous.
Right now torn between Wolf and Whiskey! I'll keep thinking about it.
@miamishyner – I love that there's another 1st pet named Ginger out there!
Your pet/street names are so great!!

When I first joined SV I had just started Pole and used my email handle (Terp258) as my name here, not giving any thought to Stage/Stripper/Burlesque what-have-you… Not real sexy…
I recently updated to my nickname given by my bff back in high school. But still not sexy or pole-ish. Also taken in various forms by other polers. (i.e TripleBexxx)
My pet/street name would be Gracey Morten… but I've always heard the Middle name/Street like MissKitty suggested. For me that would be Lynn Morten. Neither are too bad… maybe I should go with that?
Thought about going with my newly found fav drink Dirty Martini, but that's maybe too burlesque and def not believable
Oh and @Meaganoff — I like Meg Whiskey!

My husband didn't want me using my real name when I first started teaching Pole Parties, so he came up with Sedona for me. The name never really stuck and I kept introducing myself by my real name. The name came from my fav little town in my home state of AZ, and me having red hair made it work sorta.
Going with the Middle name/Street, my husband ends up being Herbert Sagewood. TOTAL Porn Star name!
-
I’ve never had a pet in my life, so I don’t have a stage name using that method at all!
But using the middle name/street combo, I’d be Elizabeth Sycamore. Not particularly sexy… In fact, it’s distinctly middle-aged housewife! Hmm, back to the drawing board I think.
I like Terpsikhore, but it’s a. unoriginal (as the greek muse of dance, there must be a million people out there using Terpsikhore as a stagename) and b. difficult to pronounce.
-
For myself I'v always liked the name Luna, it's a nickname I've had for a wile in fact some friends of mine refer to me as Luna rather than Christy/Christina. If I could make Luna work I think i wwould use that as a stage name. Ill have to put some thought into it 🙂

@meaganoff That's so funny, Lola Wantz & Lola Getz!!! I googled some of her videos, there wasn't a lot but she looks like she has a lot of fun…too bad I couldn't find a video with "Whatever Lola Wants"
-
I call myself "Kim Possible" like the animated hero. My middle name is Kim, and well, anything is possible with God. So I like Kim Possible https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
-
Cool way to come up with a name. My first pet name was Kitt. The first street I remember living on was Ebony Lane. I kinda like the reverse, Ebony Kitt. Hmmm or just plain Ebony Lane like Lois Lane.
-
A guy walked into class one day and I had my bangs down (I had been wearing them pulled back for a while) and he went "Heeey! Brittany Bangs! I like it" and my stage name was born!
-
I just reread through this thread (so funny, some of these names!) and since posting that my burlesque name was Bijou Blanc, I have totally changed it. I had a couple of friends check out a video, and told them to name that dancer. And thus, my new burlesque name was born: Alice B. Heartless. I love this name!
-
I was told a while back after getting up on stage that I needed a stage name. I went through a bunch that were all chemistry related but finally settled on one that was perfect: Chemmie Sutra.
-
thats awesome!
-
Haha, at our studio we encourage using alter-egos/stage names, so in my first class when they asked me who I was I went with the first thing that popped into my head — "Ginger", because I have bright red hair. Not very inventive, but it stuck like glue and I don't think half the people at the studio know my real name. LOL
Someone also gave me the name "Cherry Bomb" (I think all of my names go with my hair), which I will reverse for my super-stripper moments.
-
I don't have a stage name but a friend told me it should be "Slimer" because my hands are so sweaty, I always leave the pole all smudged with my sweat. Haha! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif

I love this thread and everyone has awesome names. My real name is Georgina Grace but if I change it to pet and street name I become….Heman Hibbert! Think I’m gonna need to have a better name than that 🙂
