Hey girlies, I need help!

[Ashlee]

So i've been in the modeling business and go-go dancing for awhile now. However I have recently been intrigued by the pin up side of modeling. I think you girls are just absolutely gorgeous!

Anyway, I decided I do want to use an alias. I was wondering if you girls could help me brainstorm in order to get the perfect name? I know it should be something personal for starters.

I have very curly hair (which i stopped straightening recently) and thought that might be something I could add to my name.


My name : [removed for privacy by request]

Others: I LOVE anything dealing with the sea. Sailors, The Navy (which I joined when I turned 18), Ships etc. I also love the air force and planes. Horror themes, movies and Halloween is an essential love in my life. Hmm lets see....I also work in the animal rescue field, I love animals.

I hope that helps, maybe you can give me a few names to start up the brainstorm?

One would think!! But I saw a girl (just starting out mind you) who chose the name Dita Van Teese.... that's just wrong! I think it's all about respect. Respect for yourself to use something that is true to you, and respect for the other person, who is probably working really hard to build her brand. No need to go stealing her thunder along with her name. That's why I trademarked mine, just in case someone likes it a bit too much, lol.

I think unless a name is built up to be a global brand, it's a free for all. No one will choose Dita Von Teese, or Kat Von D because the world knows them as brands. However many will pull inspiration from the name, much like they do from the styles.

There were at one time 3 Betty Reds here, and like 4 Susie Qs...

Heeeey! I trademarked my name too!!! Not than many girls are going to run around calling themselves Honey B. Hooligan....but ya never know. It's catchy.

Not funny. I'll have TC figure it out.

[Plum Pea Dahl {★}]

You're tired of me? **pouting** j/k Yeah, my name is not exactly original, but it's been my alter ego for a few years and I like it.

You have a point, Edson. I personally am tired of all the Cherries and Devilles, though. 20 Devilles on PL alone!

Well you gotta admit, Lisa Luxe or Lux (1 x or 15 x's) is just about as creative as adding "cherry" or "deluxe" to your name. You really can't expect to be the only Lisa Lux or claim to be the first. Besides its also the name of a porn star and i can imagine many amateur ones that are up and coming.

what about "REDHOT ASH" ??

Shall I get my coat and leave ?

[Didi De La Rosa]

Choose something close to you, and you have plenty of cute options in your legal name already. My real name is Adreanne, but since I was a kid my sister called me Didi. My grandmother only spoke spanish and taught me how to spell it in spanish. I went into pre-K thinking THAT was my real name. Didi has followed me everywhere, and I love it. My last name brings up the 14 some odd rose tattoos I have, and its of mexican decent, like me.... the end LOL.

Thank you all for the help! I've been brainstorming and I am coming up with some cool ideas.
