Re: Does Genevieve REALLY sound like a stripper's name?
in reply to a message by Lilibet
Stripper name? This is ridiculous.
NO.
eta: My best friend in high school went (a lot) wild afterward and became a stripper. I hadn't talked to her in years and then all the sudden did and she told me she used "Caroline" as her stage name in honor of me.

oh boy ...
It's a nice thought, I guess. But I'd rather somebody honor me by taking me out to dinner on my birthday or telling other people what a neat person I am rather than taking my name as their stripper name. lol

agreed!
Did you feel honoured??
This makes me wonder what stripper name I would choose to honour someone...my inner brat wants to pick my Grandma's name, but Shirley isn't really a sexy name. Maybe Shirleen. Yeeeaaaah, sexy Shirleen.

Shirley is kind of cute, though I'd never say I wanted to use it or have it myself.
Shirleen maybe has a sexy vibe, if you're trying for a 1950's persona.

Haha, no not really. I thought it was kind of funny, such a prudish, preppy name for a stripper!
I'm beginning to get the feeling ...
That in Ye Olden Days, Caroline wasn't considered a prim or prudish name in certain circles.
Ever read "The Crimson Petal and the White?" It's about a prostitue in London in the 1880's named Sugar who hooks a rich benefactor. She has a friend who is described this way: "Like many common women, especially prostitutes, her name is Caroline."
And I just recently read "Bowery Girls" about two street girls in NYC in the same time frame. Molly is a skilled pickpocket and Annabelle is a prostitute. They start working in a settlement and the lady who runs it uses the name, I forget, Elizabeth? Anyway, she reveals to them that she was once a street child and her name was Caroline, a name she changed when she set out to become respectable.

That's interesting. I hadn't heard that about the name Caroline. I haven't read The Crimson Petal And The White but I did see the TV adaptation of it which was good.
Ha! Well that spices it up a bit!
Ha well i guess my definition of "old prostitute names" comes from that Jack the Ripper movie that came out like 15 years ago.
"Vintage Prostitute" is the most amazing style description ever.
How about Moll?
How about Moll?
Haha! One of my old school friends is now a stripper! I'm not in touch with her personally to find out if she uses a stage name but I'm intrigued now! One of my other friends still sees her regularly, I may get her to ask.
Oh no! Caroline is not a stripper's name! Some honour!
Oh that is just too funny! I almost spilled my tea all over me laughing!
It's nice she's honoring you, I suppose. Not a name I'd pair with stripping... :)
