I have a stripper name, too. I made sure my kids were both Supreme Court Justice names, though the girl admittedly has a nickname until she's an adult and can decide to accept her lifelong term on the bench.

Ian Anderson took my rock and roll cherry, everything up to that point was mere dalliance.

Evil? Aqualung was not very seemly, but I don't think it was "evil".

Plenty of good ians and iains, I have problems with Daves. nothing good ever came from the Britney sisterhood.

My name is a rare crossover stripper/judge-royalty You be the judge if you know what it is....

I'd say yours is more of a VIP room stripper name Monster, not a pole dancer stripper name.

My name is a stripper name.
A teenage stripper, all bubblegum and badly painted toenails.

As an adult I am a woman with children I hate, who never wear enough clothes (and neither do I) and who I like to alternatively slap or ignore in public. With a fag hanging out of my mouth.

Yeah, for monster I'd go more with "madame of the brothel" than plain old stripper. Me, I'm a "fresh off the bus from the Midwest lookin' to make it big in the city as an actress" kind of stripper.

Agreed. You are rocking the whole 'girl next door' things between your looks and name.

I have the misfortune of having neither a true, gritty stripper name, nor a Supreme Court Justice name. I have a '60s go-go girl name. Pathetic.

You could never put 'Queen' in front of my name, nor 'Supreme Court Justice', nor 'President'.

So I chose another name and added it to my legal name when I took US citizenship. It's much more powerful and respectable, but very few people know I have it at all. As I don't expect I'll become a Supreme Court Justice, there's no problem. I know I have it, and that's good enough.

Is there any similar dichotomy for men's names?

dickotomy?

yes. pres/prince or high-school-dropout

Princess Beans has a ring to it, don't you think?

Beest has a high-school-dropout name.

Or can you add The Great after your name?
My Dad can. I know that because some old chap in history did it and he had the same name.

My Mum can too. Because Judy Blume wrote a book about it.

Back in the day, at university, one lecturer told three of us girl students that we sounded more like a trio of nightclubs than three language students. That was when the clubs were named after the strippers that worked there. :p
