Help..... Strippers
 
Help

I need a list of strippers names

A comprehensive list of what they CANT call the pink Jellybean....

I've got as far as

Brandy (with either a y or i)

Candy. (with either a y or i)

Lola

Krystal


Not getting out much I have no idea which other names they will need to avoid using so my Grand daughter doesnt end up working at Zelda's on the foreshore.....:(

Good point:unsure:

Zelda

Re: Help..... Strippers
 
Candice.... Thats good...

I'm worried that the strippers names I am familiar with are circa 1980s and strippers names may have evolved since then....

Oh.. And we may need drag queen names too.... Not sur:blink:

Take your bloke to a local strip joint, then you will get some names not to be used and he will enjoy your night out together. Win win.

That was my gran's name!! (Known as Big Bertha.....after the WW1 gun, not because she was amply endowed.)

Avoid any names with weird spellings, and any names ending in Y that are American- eg Candy, Brandy, Mandy etc. Avoid names of places or things.


Old fashioned names are ok, but check possible derivatives, and that the initials don't spell something odd. As a child I was often called Taxi as my initials were CAB. Not much better now with CAP, but I'm older and not subject to that sort of teasing.

American? Candy, Brandy & Mandy?

Candy is a short version of Candice and it's Greek origin, Brandy is Dutch origin and it means "burnt wine" and Mandy is English.

Yes I'm aware of the origins, but the Americans call them that as their full name rather than the shortened version. (And they also can use the "ie" endings.)

Funny enough, the only Mandys I've ever known have been from UK. My American friend Amanda would never dream of being called Mandy. And my girlfriend's daughter Candice hates being called Candy.

Ah but we are talking "trailer trash" types here- the bogan equivalent. I am presuming your friends are not that sort of people.

Re: Help..... Strippers
 
Anything remotely French sounding that is not an actual first name anywhere in the French speaking world
Eg. Chantelle (brand of lingerie in France) and all its derivative spellings - Shontelle (WTF!), Chantel, Shantelle...

Anything with an apostrophe in it
Eg De'Anne, D'Arcy (still don't get how Darcy is a first name but hey, that's just me), Bree'Ann :sick:

I hadn't realized I'd given my daughter a strippers name! My husband named her after his truck ;)

Interestingly my daughter has an Alexis, Lexi & Ginger on her hockey team. I've never considered those stripper names either, maybe it's not the same in Canada?

There's a woman in the olympics who's first name is Campbell. That's slightly odd imo.:lol:

Trouble with teaching was that it severely limited your choice of names for kids, on the girls side I personally wouldn't use...
Maddie
Lucy
Chloe
Megan
Alex
Molly
As there were sooooo many of them!

Sharon and Tracy or Tracey should be used as a nod to your background surely?

Wait til they reach college age ;)

In fact, I wonder what names her friends would choose if they did become strippers? Probably normal ones like Sarah, Doris or Kylie

Read the deaths column and see which names have stood the test of time.

And make it something easy to spell. A lifetime of spelling out your name can be tedious.

I had dealings with someone through work who had named their (poor) child
La-a.

How do you think that should be pronounced? I went for (sounds like) Lar.

It's actually pronounced (and I'm not making this up) 'La dash uh'. :blink:
Seriously.

what was your stripper name again?

Constable Candy?

Oh and don't let them use any name of current singers/models/Kardashians. Or names the above people may have used for their children.

It's actually bloody hard giving children names which is why ours only have first names and why I can understand people making names up even if they are shite. :lol:

What? Abbyghaele and Jaxxsen don't work for you? :rofl:

Oh and my personal two cents is to leave the boys names for the boys. In the past couple of months, I've read of girls being named Joshua, Maxwell, Elliott, and Wyatt. At this rate, there will be fewer and fewer options for parents who like a traditionally masculine name but don't want to give their son the same name as five girls in the school.

My son has two Isaac's in his class.

One is spelt "Izak" the other is "Issacc"

I can just picture the latter's parents thinking "now, I know there's a double letter in there somewhere so we'll hedge our bets and go with the s and c"

And they'll go through life having to spell it again and again and....... and if they're anything like the husband, they'll get forms back with a note telling them they've spelt their name wrong and to please correct it, initial the correction and return it. :rolleyes:

There's been a whole big research into name spelling in the US of A, back about 10 years ago. They concluded that ordinary names spelled in a weird manner occurred in minority groups way more often than with the w.a.s.p. folk, and went on to saying that it hurts employment chances - awkwardly spelled names are apparently a turn off and one of the reasons for a CV to hit the bin. PC shite in other words.
