    I am a Sign Language Interpreter (Terp) and the 258 is actually a play-on-words in sign meaning "interesting"

    I use it as my handle for almost everything because I know it is always available and I guess I was feeling uncreative when I joined SV. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_scratch.gif Hindsight, I should have come up with a stripper name of something.

    ha ha no, it’s cool and "interesting" LOL! I love that your name in unique.

    This thread is so interesting! I love hearing all the stories about how people thought up their nicknames!

    I was a huge Mortal combat fan, and Kitana was my fav, with those cool fan weapons she had .I played the super nintendo one (very old).

    Chemgodess – I was always intrigued by that name because when I was a teenager I was a raver and the thing to do at Raves was ecstacy and everyone would always say "know your chemist" to refer to knowing where you got the drugs from, when in reality the person we were buying it from didn’t know the chemist, and I’m willing to bet that the person he bought it from didn’t know the chemist!! Wow, the stupid things teenagers do makes me really happy that I am not a teenager anymore!!

    I chose my name because I’m a sucker for stars and all star related things and on tv one time I heard someone describe someone else as being so beautiful she "put the stars to shame" and I thought that was really cute. My real name is Tasha. I usually sign up for things using my email name happy_tasha , cause I’m a happy girl, but this time I wanted to be more anonymous so that nobody could find me on here. When I first started poling I kept it quiet for the most part, I was afraid people wouldn’t understand, and some still don’t! yuk.

    Yeah, but I am the geeky lab rat type of chemist.

    When I signed up didn’t imagine being involved much- just reading and viewing. I was very uncreative and probably tired so mine is obvious and even though I consider myself a huge fan of my daughter- I am also kicking myself in the behind! I think I was in a hurry to get to see some informational help LOL! Should of thought about it more.

    Velvet has been my online name since I first got online (long ago.) I picked Velvet b/c I love fabrics that feel soft and it sounds pretty, sexy, and cozy. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif I tend to be Velvet plus (fill in blank) depending on site. I picked Vixen since thats how I feel when I pole sometimes. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

    I got the name Pinky when I went on a local cattle drive as a fundraiser. I was wearing the cute little pink top in my picture (From the Cattle Drive Photos) and none of the silly cowboys who had crushes could remember my name so they called me Pinky. Needless to say I am now Engaged to one of those Silly Cowboys (another long and Interesting stories) and he still calls me Pinky sometimes. My real Name is Lindsey. The Power came from the fact that I am a woman and I am Powerful. Pinky is my stage name as well.

    Pinky- That is a cute sweet story! Congrats on the engagement. Will you have a themed wedding or traditional wedding? Just curious if how you two met would be incorporated in any way. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

    "descalzada" means barefoot (in Spanish; I’m Venezuelan), and I’ve always preferred being barefoot.
    It’s been my on-line nom de plume for many years … when I was a young engineer back in the mid-70s, the prevailing male attitude was that women should be "barefoot & pregnant", so initially I was using it sarcastically.
    I still prefer being barefoot at home most of the time, but I also enjoy putting on my CFM heels!

    I did the samething. So I wasn’t creative. K is for Kim and C is for my last name and FL is for Florida and 5 is because I have 5 kids.

    I have used Prncsopowr forever! Basically, when I was picking an AIM name years ago, Princess of Power was taken so I took out most of the vowels to get Prncsopowr. My real name is Shira and growing up I was consistently made fun of due to She-ra, the cartoon (He-man’s sister). I decided later on in life to just embrace it. At my ballet performance the other day, my little brother even started yelling it! Some of my friends even call me POP.

    This is such a cool thread!

    My name has a few different backgrounds. . .

    When I was thinking of an ‘alter ego’/’stage name’ for when I started poling I went through in my mind a few things. . . .

    I wanted to something unique (or so I thought) and also something that was ‘personal’ to me.

    SKITTLES ~~~

    * One of my fav candies
    * It’s a fun colorful candy ((Id like to think of myself as fun colorful and carefree))
    * Tagline "Taste the rainbow" — sort of sexy here. . . I like my rainbow tasted (did I just type that!?) https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif
    * And later my husband also added that a rainbow has many colors and variety such as poling: Strength, Sexiness, Fun-ness, etc etc. . . and I try to do a little of it all. . .

    . . . . hence the name "SKITTLES"

    I did think about changing my name, but Skittles stuck with me. . . .. I didnt want a serious name, because I’m just not a super serious person/poler and I’m actually a bit shy https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cool.gif . . . so I wanted to keep it light hearted and fun. .

    Plus, when I’m at work and someone mentions Skittles (from the snack machine) I do turn as if they’ve called my name, lol!

    Hey Vixen,

    Yes, we will be having a Western/Traditional Scottish themed wedding. I am Scottish with long red hair and plan on mixing my heritage with our love of horses. It should be interesting! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif It is frustrating though coming up with nice "Wedding-e" ideas with my ponies involved. I am planning on riding up side saddle on my black horse Ebbi and parking her next to my white gelding which they will look lovely together. Until I change my mind that is. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif My man says it’s all up to me. If I mention ideas his eyes glass over and I just want to KILL HIM! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_evil.gif

    I’ve been using various forms of untamedshrew since I joined the internet world. I was inspired by Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew. I found people’s reactions to my name to be revealing, so I’ve stuck with it. It has sparked conversations about literature and told me how some men feel about women who refuse to be "tamed".

    Sasha came from my exes family. I introduced myself and his uncle looked at me and said "im going to call you sasha." Skittles came from some friends because I used to dye my hair all sorts of colors and said i needed a "Stripper name" because a normal name wouldnt fit me… this was long before i was into poling too

    Oooo I <3 all these stories they’re so interesting! So mine came from when I first started pole I wanted to come up with a sexy sounding alter ego. I always draw stars on my school notebooks and I always liked the name Raquelle so I put thattogther then I started writing it and if you say it fast it kinda sounds like rockstar and I <3 rock music lol! My real name is boring (Alicia) so something exotic sounded better! On everything else I usually use AliciaInWonderland21 my boyfriend came up with it and I was born on the 21st!

    I love this thread! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

    My name has a couple of different meanings. I first thought of it because my favorite song at the time was "Dance Inside" by the All American Rejects. I liked the way it sounded, and although I don’t have a dance background, I’ve always loved watching and imaging I could do half the things serious dancers can. It also just sounds happy to me..like if I’m having a great day, I’ve got a huge smile on my face and I’m "dancing inside"

    And 22 is my favorite number https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

    Terpsichore was one of the 9 Greek muses. She’s the muse of dance. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

    I just spell it differently because my real name’s Kath and so I like the letter K, haha.

    My name came from a conversation eons ago at one of the radio stations I worked at. One of my interns was also an exotic dancer so we used to talk shop all the time. She already had a "stripper name" and yes, that’s the term we used – no offense intended…and I had only ever used a really bad "stripper name" so it was time for a new one. The problem IS my real name Crystal already sounds like a stripper name. I looked at the computer and the display was "Charris" and I thought Charley. She loved it as a name for me because I am just not super girly so Charley stuck.

    Shortly thereafter there was the annual round of firings and I was cut as was the entire morning show and the afternoon guy, the imaging director and most of or promotions staff…so I had 6 months severance coming and had already purchased a pole because I missed pole dancing so much (although I couldn’t DO anything.) I spent those 6 months playing around and then started posting on forums and Charley really came into her own.

    tigger, how creative you are to start this thread!

    When I was searching online after starting pole to find help after my studio closed down, I came across sv. I was curious and registered, the only thing I could come up with is hookedonpole because that is what I was, "hooked"! After I registered, I had second thoughts about the "hooked" part and wondered if anyone would take it out of context https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif

    I visted the site a couple of times and actually did not return for quite a while. I was still so new to pole and didn’t think the site was for me…WRONG!! I came back and am "hooked" on sv!!! Now I LOVE my nickname. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

    I picked this name back when I was at uni in Aberdeen, Scotland. I’m actually from Guernsey in the Channel Islands, so it’s a mixture of shortened Guernsey to Gsy and the Scottish term for a girl, lass. Gsylass. My real name is Hannah.

    Great idea for a thread – I’ve loved reading all your stories! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_thumleft.gif
