Name my stripper! http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/plot-doctoring/threads/50119 Steampunk avi8or So hi, you probably played that game when you were a kid to find out your stripper name: Favorite ice cream flavor and then your first pet's name. But that's just not going to cut it for my stripper character. Her real first name is Bernadette, and I thought it would be funny if her stripper stage name had something to do with "burning" to sound like her name. All I thought of was "Burning Fireball" so clearly I know nothing about stripper names and badly need your help! Thanks! -Avi8or Sat, 11 Feb 2012 18:54:14 +0000 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/plot-doctoring/threads/50119?page=1#forum_thread_comment_1131584 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/plot-doctoring/threads/50119?page=1#forum_thread_comment_1131584 Irukazab Actually it's your pet's name and the street you love on. Don't know much about strippers either, but you want the name to be sexy, not make the guys think their thingy is gonna get burned off.

It can be anything to do with fire/hot if you want (Sizzle, Spice, Ember, etc). Normally, I think of stripper names as this: Food (Strawberry, Cupcake, Sugar, Berry, etc.) Fabric (Velvet, Cashmere, Leather, etc.) Alcohol (Brandy, Tequila, Margarita, Martini, etc.) Emotion/Adjective (Envy, Lust, Pleasure, Precious, Bliss, etc.) Oh, and anything to do with sparkles (glimmer, gleam, etc.) Sat, 11 Feb 2012 20:34:19 +0000 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/plot-doctoring/threads/50119?page=1#forum_thread_comment_1131698 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/plot-doctoring/threads/50119?page=1#forum_thread_comment_1131698 Steampunk avi8or Wow this is helpful!

Red Smoke Black Smoke Trailing Smoke Smoke Tiger Sugarsmoke (These are all sounding like Native American names... I like Sugarsmoke a lot though.)

How about Smoke Devil! I neglected this little detail that she's a saloon whore in the 1860s, so they were less open about sex even in rauchy places, so I think Smoke Devil or Smoking Devil is more appropriate than Smothering Devil. :) Smoke Devil will be her name. If you have any objections, speak now or forever hold your peace.

Yes there were proper woman/men who frowned upon whores, but I think for the most part life was so hard and people survived in any way they could that people weren't so judgemental. Whores stayed on their side of the street, church goers on the other. In a well established town, maybe there weren't as many saloon girls or maybe they just weren't the whores they used to be. But I think in railroad town, whore-ing was was tolerated and encouraged and accepted. Julia Bulette was a prostitute in Nevada in the 1860s. She was also a well respected philantrhopist. Sadly she was murdered.
