Hi, love all the names!
Stumbled onto this site, as I have just started to dance burlesque in shows, after only performing as a ballerina/ballroom dancer and really need a name, so any suggestions would be great! I’d quite like something sweet but sexy to reflect my personality, as I tend to switch from cute and sweet to dominatrix quite quickly!

Well, the performance was super and fun!
The audience liked it, also the other girls were great.
Well, I think, one day the right name will come up.

The problem with Ellen Poe is that it sounds too much like a proper name. What about extracting some characteristics from it (like mystery, or fascination or something like that) and creating a name with the sass and the mischief of burlesque? Something like Miss Teria, or Miss Tique? Good luck with your performance!

Thanks.

Any ideas? Well tomorrow is the day. We picked “Ellen Poe”, if we don’t find any better name.

Oh damn, could you please delete my full name and leave just “Mel”?

Hello,
I just got on your side, googeling for “Burlesque name”, ’cause right at the moment I have the same “problem”.
And you guys really have good ideas.
I am blond, German, “normal” shape (well, my “highlight” is my back, you know what I mean).
On coming Sunday I have two short performances, where I can show what I have learned in the burlesque lessons. Once I am a mug (like Bonny and Clyde), I have dollar emblems on my stockings. The other performance shows me as a cowgirl.
I thought about “Jenny Cash” (in relation to “Cash” because of money and to Johnny Cash because of western style).
But actually I don’t like “Jenny” that much. I do not want the name to promise a naive blonde.
Another idea is “Ellen Poe” (we say “Po” for the back), also remining Edgar Allen Poe.

What do you think, got other ideas?

The initials of the name you came up with, DD, are very enticing. I like it very much. And I like your name too Miss Juicy Cherry. I danced with a few names last week during my class and I think out of all I tried in my head Elle Rêve suited me down to a T. I am a daydreamer!

hi there,

ive just started a burlesque course yesterday and i love it – need to come up with a name too, so i chose miss juicy cherry bossom – as i love cherries (they are everywhere in my house and got a few as a tattoo) and im quite top heavy (34h)but i also like miss cherrie De Vil so not sure.
what do you think?
i really like Dulcinea or why not Dulcina Devine?
i know i didnt come up with a new name but i hope you like my name i put together.
good luck
Miss Juicy Cherry Bossom
