Did you name yours?

Movement filled greetings! I like to think of my pole as my dancing partner. When I walk passed the small movement room in my house I stop to admire my shiny new friend and sometimes swing in for a quick hello with a Fireman Spin, a sassy walk around, or even a little slinky slide down my back. At the risk of sounding like a complete goof... When I don't have a moment for even a teeny-weeny-tiny-fraction-of-moment-small visit, I'll just give a little wave and have even been known to say "hello" outloud. On the occasions where this has happened, I've pondered naming my pole. Absurd? Perhaps. Completely like something I would do? Absolutely! (Hey, I'm the same woman who named my garbage disposal and my vacuum!) So as I begin thinking of a name for my new dancing delight, I'm curious to know if anyone else has named their pole... With joy, Nayana

Have considered it. Was utterly stumped at the preceding and very necessary question: "Is it a boy or a girl?"
Runemist34 · 1/13/2011
I've considered it, but I don't think mine requires a name. Mine is, however, a male. I heard from my first studio "The pole is the perfect dancing partner: Always ready, will always hold you up, and always erect." XD Hence, I consider most poles to be male...also, if I'm a girl, and generally heterosexual, then I would expect this kind of dance partner to be male. Just my own thought!

LOL.............YEP!! All 3 of mine are names. My clients/students get a real kick out of it.... My first 50mm Chrome Xpole-----Jose My second 50mm Chrome Xpole--Jesus My 38mm Brass Pole---Julio They are my latin lovers~~~ ❤️❤️❤️ 🥂

chumpchkin - Great question and one I hadn't even considered yet. Although, it seems the majority of names which have popped into my head are primarily of the male persuasion. Runemist34 - <3 the quote! reenie - You own THREE! <swoon> ;o) I've had a few Latin names pop up in my head as well. My hubby frequently jokes I hide Jorge or Juan in the closet. Perhaps I'll have to christen my pole as one of these delights.
reenie aka Mysfit · 1/14/2011
Hehehe.....Yep. I own 3. If I had my way.....and more space....I would own a dz at least!! Like Jorge & Juan...... They may be next once I get some more poles. 🥂

lol You girls are so sweat!!!! I have 8 poles in my Studio, I only use 3 of us and for me it's a girls. All the rest are a boys! I feel this, I don't know why lol But one of the boys name is "Fern". Each poles are differents and all of my students always take the same! It's not possible for her to work in another pole lol

Mine doesn't have a name but I too have considered it. lmao She's a girl--all of my vehicles are too, actually. I don't know why--maybe because I am pretty tomboyish and hang out with guys and men tend to refer to everything--boats, cars, bikes, etc. etc.--as 'she.' I'm not sure what I would call her though--I feel like she deserves something a little slutty, but nothing over-the-top. The stripper who's sexual without being nasty.

You make me laugh a lot girls. Yep i have consider naming my pole but since i wasn't sure if it was he or she, didn't want to give it a wrong name. But it seem ok to think it need a guy name, would i really want a "girl" between my thigh? probably not LOL. I will take time to find him a hot sexy name just can't call him George or something like that. @studio 409 I always tought they we're all guys since you refer to them as your men. Fern is the squeeky one right? lol

"But it seems ok to think it needs a guy name, would i really want a "girl" between my thigh? probably not LOL." You bring up an interesting point. Previously I was totally hetero, but now that I have a female pole, does this make me bisexual?

"(Hey, I'm the same woman who named my garbage disposal and my vacuum!)" *Cough Cough* The monster under the sink. We feed him. and the Dust bunny eradicator 5000 lives with us. I named my pole Dante cuz it's hot baby :P
Katherine McKinney · 1/15/2011
My pole is a lady named "Peach." Then again, I don't think of my pole as a dancing partner. I think of her as a friend who offers great support when I need it the most. Thinking of her as a guy would make me think too much about phallic imagery, and that would ick me out.

studio409 - I like “Fern.” It’s fun and cute! I think it’s funny how we become “attached” to objects. I remember always sitting in the same desk in school. There’s a much stronger bond formed with a pole, so why not use the same one each class! ;o) horsecrazy12987 - I still haven’t decided on a name or for sure if it will be a manly name, but I completely agree on wanting it to be a little slutty. You know, a lil bit naughty and a lil bit nice, full of just enough tease… tiggertail - George? *giggles* Perhaps a gender-neutral name… Finreah - Ooooh! I <3 Dante. What perfect name! I’ll have to find something that speaks to me as much as this. Our garbage disposal is Fred (I actually had to ask my hubby as I had forgotten the name just now…I find it hysterical he remembered!) and our vacuum is Suck-M-Sam. :o) AerialMcK - I like the notion of a pole as a friend you can lean on for support. Beautiful!

I call my pole Quicksilver. I have a silver car I name Argento (a common Italian surname), but I had thought about calling it Quicksilver. But it's a better pole name anyway.
nymphdancer · 1/16/2011
the little minx is just "that freaking slippery little minx" most of the time. The x-pole is just "the x" But I don't name cars or anything like that either.....
willowbreath · 1/17/2011
LOL. Well I haven't exactly named it, other than an ongoing commentary about it not being Hitch Pole. In my mind, Hitch Pole has a whole life going on that, to me anyway, is hilarious. My pole is NOT Hitch Pole. My pole doesn't leave out the back door, ask for money for the dry cleaning, need change for a taxi, etc. For those of you who don't know what Hitch Pole is, I've attached a link so you can all get the same giggles and fits of laughter I did. http://www.platinumstages.com/NEW-Hitch-Pole_p_376.html P.S. You MUST watch the video too! haha...love it. 😀
tiggertail · 1/17/2011
you must be kidding me!!!!!!! Hitch pole?LOL
thesoulstudio · 1/17/2011
evennotodd - Ooooh! I like Quicksilver. Nice. :o) nymphdancer - I love your reference for minx. To freakin adorable! willowbreath - Now I have seen everything!
horsecrazy12987 · 1/17/2011
LMAO @ the hitch pole. I kind of want one, just to see the looks on people's faces.
reenie aka Mysfit · 1/17/2011
Hitch pole.... Wow....I am speechless. I honestly thought I had seen it all. LMAO Interesting...........Can't say I would purchase one......but interesting none the less. Great gigles up here too....
BailaHoops · 1/21/2011
I just stumbled upon the hitch pole randomly, and I had to come SV cause I knew someone else must have seen this by now!!!! I think it is very uh.... inventive. ;) Love to know if anyone purchases it and how they feel about that. I would just be too scared of falling off of it.
