I thought there was a rule that you had to take your first or middle name and combine it with a San Fernando Valley/Los Angeles landmark or street name.
Or you can just say your first name is Jenna and make up the rest later on...
When I started I was working with a gal named Candy Kiss (her legal first name is Candy, I dunno why she went with Kiss, but she had a little tattoo of a Hershey Kiss on her tummy). We thought it was so cute to sign things Kisses and Lixx at bachelor parties! Ooooo! How Cute!! So... here I am, Kimi Lixx. (my first name is Kimi)
Well some girls have their agents help them pick a name. I wanted something basic and simple that i would answer to. Some have had nicknames their whole life and it ends up becoming their second name they are attached to so hey why not use it. A stage name is cool because you do not normally have the opportunity to say if I could name myself what name would I choose and you can have fun with it.
There's no "rule" or strict tradition how one's "Stage" name is selected. There are lots of different ways that names have surfaced.
I wanted to keep my real first name, and after a bit of self-brainstorming while I was doing a half-marathon (I seem to do my best thinking either in the shower or while running), I decided to see how many "Cummings" were listed in the San Diego phone book; when I counted 125+, I decided that it was not an uncommon name, so I selected "Dave Cummings". I now own the trademark for "Dave Cummings".
I think its always good to have a name that actually means something, so there is actually some kind of connotation when you hear it- like "Haze", you can picture a hazy sunrise.....a washed out orange and yellow horizon, you know?
"Lonnie Waters" sounds pure and sexy....feminine, because water is soft.
I dunno about "Krystal Steal".....just sounds awesome....I tend to picture somebody cool, calculating and sleek, like "Steel" yea?
If I could've named myself I would call myself "Cloud" (as a first name) -no joke. :)
I have a list of names, if I became a porn star: Pat McGroin Mike Rotch Jacques Itch Ivan Jackinov Jack Mehoff Harry Cox Mike Cockyczar Harry Parabols Won Hung Lo Peter Dragon Dick Hertz Les Johnson Buck Naked Dick Allred Hugh Jass Peter O'Toole Buster Hyman Dick Head Kraven Moorehead Dixie Normis Rock Hardon
I am still waiting for a female to pick: Connie Lingus
really? i thought of "Veruca Salt" from Willy Wonka (My name would be "Swan Ronson" hahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaah) Edited by - cm37564 on 12/28/2013 2:23:38 AM
