I chose my name ad was the name of a close friend growing up, and also should a client make a mistake of trying to approach or call me in public it doesn't sound too odd.as it is a real name ( yes it has actually happened before to my surprise and was unappreciated but fine)

Great topic
I am sure there are more interesting replies to be shared

I use to run under the name phoenix but that was years ago. I choswe my second name coz I love it!! But its been suggested to me to go back to phoenix a couple times. Dunno if I should

When i was a child, my mom had a very beautiful friend. She told me that when I one day have a daughter, I should name her Claudia.


I did not end up having kids, but the name brings me beauty. ..

Not trying to hijack the thread, but if you think the girl's names are intersting, what about the punters ? Some really weird and wondeful names out there. Must be a story behind them as well ?

Too true.
So I was busy registering and up popped this question about a nick- yes I should have given it thought as I could see nicks were used. Anyway I was just wanting to get registered and the first thing that popped was "I am here to have fun" so iamfunluva was born

Hate it now! ESA admin is there any way I can get another nick on my profile? Pretty please

I was going with the REM band members names. Peter Buck is the lead guitarist. Then afterwards I heard he is gay.

You think you want to change Fun Lova, I am desperate to change . To be associated with a gay retired guitar player ? Man, my self image is just broken.

But as you say, you need a name. No real thought goes into it.

Anyway, how is that song ? I am happy , I am happy so happy and GAY ?

And no, I AM NOT COMING OUT.

LOL

Lol @peterbuck
Definitely the wrong forum to come out on :-)

Naledi
Lupe
Anouk
Amber Jade

Would love to hear the stories behind these names!

How many ladies actually use their real names?

Came across this thread while trawling. Thought it was a nice topic to revive as we have new ladies on the forum since this post.

I am who I am, I can answer for two of the names you mentioned.

Ann Bews: I can answer this since I was with her when she chose it and explained it to me. She loved the historical icon ,Ann Boleyn (Strange choice since she was beheaded by her own husband, King Henry VIII) The second name, Bews is unfortunately something very personal to her and It would be wrong for me to reveal it.

Veronica Franco was the first name that popped into my head when I was advised to pick a pseudonym, although my real first and second name was originally what I had in mind as I have a beautiful name.

I recalled a history assignment that I did the research for in high school, but left the school before completion. I was intrigued when I came across the 16th century venetian poetess and courtesan by the name of Veronica Franco by chance in the school library, listed under 16th century art and literature. A few years later, I saw and fell in love with a movie called 'A destiny of her own/Dangerous Beauty' that rang a bell, but I never put the two together until the day I had to choose this name for my alter ego and discovered the beauty of Google,Lol. I read all I could find on her and decided I wanted to have her courage, passion and conviction if I was to go into this line of work, which had terrified me for weeks before. Taking her name gave me a new found sense of courage to do what was necessary with joy and fulfillment and not cry myself to sleep every night as so many ladies had told me they had done in the first few months of this industry.

Too many "Lexi's" and so Lexus came about, a car designed to drive smooth and it's elegance, I find sexy....

The other day had a call from a mrs asking who I was, and my reply was ma'am it's Lexus from Sandton the test drive had to be cancelled. Needless to say her whole attitude changed to surprise. Must've thought a new car coming.
