Working Names
« on: 07 July 2012, 08:04:30 pm »
Ladies

What importance do you give to having a surname ....say AmyBrown.co.uk...., AmandaJones....whatever.....humour me here

Personally I feel its quite important so as not to get lost in the quagmire or other Amys in the escorting world??/  No??  Am I wrong.   Your working name is a brand....and therefore important

You dont want someone else getting your reviews by mistake ( unless your planning on being crap and scamming or something like that and then dont care)

What are your thoughts

i chose ParisB   Because I'm a total bitch and I'm from Bristol   ;D  nah the paris came from  when david beckham  got  the red card in Paris in 1999 and the the B was to distinguish me from all the other paris that are around  however i didn't add the B bit until  quite a few years later 
my friend Tiffany had the name Tiffany B and i like the sound of that so when she hung up her stockings i liberated her B  her website was stunning blonde which i always thought was a cracking name for a webiste ( its still available should anybody want it ( and they are blonde of course)

i think if you have a  common hooker name ( and apologies for that ladies) then anything you can do to distinguish your self from other is a good thing
you have have to look at the post that Chole Harris wrote recently about another girl copying her profile and  her  first name to realise that guys sometime only look at the boobs and unless they are a regular of yours it can only take a few quick punches on the keyboard and people are associating you with someone else

I don't have a surname, but I do have a double-barrelled (so to speak) first name, and I definitely chose it in order to stick out that little bit more.  :)  Makes it easier for them to remember you too if they need to get back in touch.  Wouldn't remember me as easily if I was one of a huge sea of Tiffanys for example.

I get the point, but i personally dislike any names which include an action. Y'know the gushing ----- type ones. Just my preference! I quite like my work name and it seems  remembered. X

I think if you have a very unique USP such as I do you'd be a fool not to use it as some part of your AW nick/website name etc as that really helps you stand out from the crowd. That being said I don't use it in all of my advertising

I think there are so many girls who use very common names/surnames and always wonder how they don't just get lost out there on the internet.

I chose Amy when I first started advertising online - I'd had a break and wanted everything new, and I used to get Winehouse comparisons because of my hair so it was just a lazy pick really. I chose my surname because it's got personal connections (but not ones that strangers would know about) and it never occurred to me not to have one - if I only had a first name I'd feel like a budgie.

There are always lots of ladies with names starting with A (partly I think because some of the directories used to list alphabetically and I think PLink still does) so I think it definitely doesn't do any harm. I remember at the time there were about a million Ambers as well which completely put me off picking it; I actually liked another name better but it was down the bottom of the alphabet. As far as second names go I don't think it's crucial but if like Paris says, if you want to stand out in a busy area it's one fairly low-energy way to do it.

I started with Gemma as the G is simular to my first name..I didnt want to call a client and by accident say my real name when I first started out so I'd be stuck if it was completely different and they called me my real name. Then I changed it to Emma once I settled in as I prefer Emma (sounds more sweet) clients used to call me emma and gemma anyway so it didnt make alot of difference.

Probably has nothing to do with what you are asking! I wouldnt have a clue what I'd choose if I had my own website and was indi x

I would go with the addition of a surname, it does make a difference and (most) clients can then know which Amy, Anna, Emma, Lucy, Jas they are talking about.

Or you could add something at the beginning.  Kinky, naughty, flirty etc.

Every other Indian escort seems to be called Jas, Jasmine etc.  So to stand out from them I just added naughty before Jas.  And now I get some clients that phone up and ask for Naughy Jas!  So it does work.  Besides you now what they say, naughty by name, naughty by nature. ;)

Thanks ladies...I think the market is so saturated that we have to have something in the name for clients to distinguish us by.  Whether its a tag ...naughty, B, or surname....

I'm personally not a fan of using descriptive words in a username, my username is taken from a character in one of my favourite films, Indecent Proposal  ;D I don't think anyone has ever put the name to the film character and a lot think I must be Irish and it's my real name, which of course it isn't!

I picked Lydia when I started off doing adult phone lines- It was after the naughty youngest Bennett sister in Pride and Prejudice; the one who ran off and had premarital sex with a soldier and shamed her family. Just the sort of thing I would have told if I were a 19th century daughter of a country gentleman!  It is also a name which is not too unusual, but not too common and most people can spell it. I added the Minxy part because my friend used to call me a minx when I was telling her of my latest exploits and I like it because it denotes naughty and isn't as graphic as 'slutty' or 'kinky' or 'dirty' etc.

As has been said I think having two names helps to distinguish you and  works in getting remembered. I don't get lost in the other Lydia's out there. Not that there are *that* many! Also it's a fairly ageless name and doesn't make me sound younger or older than I am.

 Incidentally if you Google 'Lydia Escort' or 'Minxy Escort' I come up in the top hits, so either my SEO work has been awesome (takes a bow) or both names are unique enough. Advice I would give any new girl is go with something different and something men can spell when they are looking for your website again!

I think it's really really important. I did advertising and promotion at university so I chose a name that represented what I wanted people to think. Annabelle to me is feminine and has a sort of 'higher class' undertone to it (than say 'blondbitch69' for example).
And I agree, you don't want to get lost which is why changed it from Anna.Belle to Annabe11e so hopefully people would remember part of it's spelled with numbers.

When I 1st started I used the name Bustyscotlass as Im a natural 36M and was all I could come up with but decided to change it last month, my new name is my 1st pet and 1st street I lived on, not very original but I like it and it sounds better when clients ask is this Chrissie rather than is this Bustyscotslass.

I think Gemma is one off the most used working girls names, im not sure why!! Im Gemma because i first started at a cardiff parlour and on my working interview the boss said what do you want to call yourself and my dog (at the time) was called Gemma and thats all i could think off!! Id love to change it now but i think iv morphed into gemma, sometimes i don't know where she ends and i begin!
