Dorian Electra
I've recently come across the musician Dorian Electra and was like wow what a cool stage name then realised its their actual birth name (Dorian Electra Fridkin Gomberg) which is even cooler!! Also I dont think ive ever come across someone who suits their name as perfectly as Dorian.I kind of like the idea of giving your child a middle name that makes their full name stage name worthy but the first name on its own is completely fine for every day use, maybe like Eris Clementine, Paris Nightingale or Remy Marmalade for more wacky. thoughts?(while we're at Dorian, their parents are called Paul and Paula lol)Edit: just for reference this Dorian is not a girl, they use They/them pronouns :)https://www.behindthename.com/pnl/145466

Dorian's a nice name, and Electra is wonderful. They're beautiful together, but it can be hard to make a name like this really work for ordinary people.

Dorian Electra isn’t terrible. But Electra as a name is definitely cool. Eris Clementine is also amazing, Paris Nightingale, and Remy Marmalade is too.With that being said, Dorian is decent on a boy but on a girl it’s awful. I would prefer Electra Dorian, or even better - No Dorian at all. Edit: I looked them up and I just realized this person goes by They/them pronouns but I still think it’s awful as a unisex name lol

I dislike it. And no, I wouldn't do that. The chances of a child becoming a famous stage persona are close to zero. And if they manage they are better off choosing a fake name for privacy reasons.Dorian Electra sounds like some robot or A.I. to me, it doesn't really sound very human. Dorian is odd on a boy but on a girl it's weird. And Electra is 100% "electricity" to me.

Wow, what an interesting person. They make Lady Gaga look boring. Honestly I feel like adding Electra to anything makes a name stage worthy. It's just such an.....electric name. I'm a fan of flamboyant middle names myself, so I support the idea of Remy Marmalade and Eris Clementine.
