Stripper names have always been a topic of fascination, whether it’s for those in the adult entertainment industry or just looking for a catchy stage name. But choosing the right stripper name is not an easy task. It has to stand out and reflect your personality. So if you’re struggling to find the perfect stripper name, look no further! Here are some ideas that will help you choose a name that stands out and suits you.

How to Choose Your Stripper Name

Before we dive into the list of memorable stripper names, let’s first understand how to choose the perfect alias for yourself. Here are some tips to keep in mind:

  • Be creative: Don’t be afraid to think outside the box and come up with something unconventional. Think of the story you want to tell and spice up your name accordingly.
  • Consider your personality: Your stripper name should reflect who you are as a performer. Celestial names like Star or Heaven form a soft and alluring image, while names like Tempest or Spark give off a fierce persona.
  • Use a play on words: Puns and wordplay can make for clever and memorable stripper names. For example, if you like roses, you could go with a stage name like Rosie Cheeks or Rose Gold.
  • Keep it simple: While unique names are always preferred, try not to complicate it too much. A short and catchy name is more likely to stick in people’s minds than a long and complicated one.
  • Consider your audience: Think about the type of crowd you will be performing for and choose a name that will resonate with them. A sassy name may work well for a bachelorette party, but not for a more upscale event.
  • Avoid using real names: It’s best to stay away from using your real name as your stripper name. Not only does it lack creativity, but it also leaves you vulnerable to potential stalkers or unwanted attention.
  • Get feedback: Ask friends or fellow performers for their opinion on potential stripper names. They might have some creative ideas or be able to point out any potential issues with your chosen name.

Why Stripper Names are Important

Some may wonder why strippers even have an alias in the first place. The truth is, having a stage name allows performers to separate their personal and professional lives. It also gives them a certain level of anonymity and control over their image and brand.

Additionally, a catchy or memorable stripper name can make it easier for customers to remember and request you for future performances. You want clients to hear your name and feel the desire the profession calls for. It’s all about creating a persona and brand that stands out in the industry.

Classic and Common Names

Some names never go out of style and are always popular among strippers. These names have a timeless appeal and exude confidence and sensuality. Some examples include:

  • Ruby: This gemstone-inspired name is a classic choice for any exotic dancer. It has a sultry and alluring sound to it, perfect for catching the attention of the audience.
  • Angel: The name Angel is a symbol of virtue and harmony. It represents beauty, grace, and innocence, making it an excellent fit for those who want to portray a more delicate image.
  • Candy: For your clients with a sweet tooth, Candy is a playful and flirty name that’s sure to leave an impression. It gives off a fun and bubbly vibe, perfect for dancers who want to entertain and put a smile on people’s faces.

  • Cherry: Another fruity name that’s fashionable Cherry has a playful and sexy sound to it. It’s also a great option for those who want to add a touch of innocence to their stage persona.

Gemstone Names

Gemstone-inspired stripper names are a fantastic way to convey elegance, luxury, and allure, as we saw with Ruby. These names are perfect for performers who want to shine and impress their audience with a name that suggests rarity and value. Here are some sparkling names to consider:

  • Jade: This name has a sultry and exotic feel to it. Jade is known for its beautiful green hue and is often associated with wealth and serenity.
  • Sapphire: Evoking images of deep blue oceans and endless skies, Sapphire is a glamorous choice for any dancer.
  • Diamond: One of the most precious gemstones, this name is a symbol of strength and resilience. After all, Diamonds Are Forever!
  • Emerald: If you look good in green, Emerald will carry you far. Cleopatra herself adored emeralds and reigned over all of the mines in Egypt. Who are we to argue with a Pharaoh?
  • Amber: With its warm, golden tones, Amber is a name that conjures up images of warmth and timeless beauty. It’s an ideal choice for those who want to portray a glowing and inviting persona. Red heads, take advantage.
  • Amethyst: Known for its rich purple color, Amethyst was once worn as a symbol of royalty. Be the queen you are and choose this regal and enchanting name for your stage persona.
  • Topaz: A name that can evoke the range of colors found in topaz gemstones, from golden yellow to soft pink. Topaz suggests a versatile and captivating stage presence.
  • Opal: This name brings to mind the shimmering, multicolored beauty of an opal gemstone. It’s an excellent choice for women born in October, as opal is the birthstone for that month.
  • Crystal: Although this is a popular name among exotic dancers, it represents the clarity and brilliance of the crystal itself. It says you are pure and shining. More than mirrorball.

Nature and Animal Inspired Names

For those who resonate deeply with the natural world, choosing a nature or animal-inspired stripper name can add a powerful and enchanting element to your stage persona. Animals like birds and felines been a popular choice among performers for their grace and sensuality. Some options to consider are:

  • Bambi: This name is an excellent choice for dancers with long legs. Reminiscent of the graceful and delicate young deer, Bambi brings a sense of gentleness and charm to the stage. It emphasizes a stripper’s elegance and fluidity in their dance routines. Bonus: it is part of the public domain!
  • Phoenix: Symbolizing rebirth and fiery strength, Phoenix is a powerful choice for strippers. It conveys resilience and transformation.
  • Vixen: A vixen is known as a female fox, but it also refers to an attractive and seductive woman. This name has an alluring energy and draws your clients in.
  • Bunny: This name brings to mind images of cute and playful rabbits. They are agile and quick, just like dancers on stage. Bunnies also represent fertility and sex, given how frequently they mate.
  • Raven: Ravens are known for their intelligence and mysterious nature. Blacks and dark blues are commonly associated with this name, making it a great fit for dancers who have a darker and more enigmatic stage persona.
  • Kitty: Channeling the playful, yet sensual allure of a cat, Kitty is an ideal name for dancers who tease and prowl. Cats symbolize femininity, magic, and sensuality. Do you have the claws for it?
  • Dove: Known for symbolizing peace and purity, Dove offers a soft and serene option. It provides a gentle contrast to more aggressive names.

Male Stripper Names

Not all dancers are female, and we would never leave the boys out! Often, a male stripper chooses names that are tough and sexy with a touch of humor. Here are some ideas for male stripper names:

  • Maverick: This name has a rebellious and daring quality to it, perfect for male performers who want to challenge traditional gender roles in the industry.
  • Blaze: For those with fiery energy and dance moves, Blaze is a fitting choice. It’s bold, confident, and adds an element of danger to your persona on stage.
  • Ace: Ace has a cool and charismatic ring to it. Ace also means “first” or “top” in card games, making it a great name for performers who strive to be at the top of their game
  • Gunner: Another powerful and masculine name, Gunner symbolizes strength and control.
  • Titan: Evoking images of ancient mythology and formidable strength, Titan is an imposing name for male strippers who want to dominate the stage with their presence.
  • Diesel: A name that suggests raw power and high octane energy, Diesel is perfect for performers with an intense and high-energy act. Let this engine roar!

Stripper Names to Avoid

Although some of these are common names for women in the industry, choosing an alias from this list can be a mistake. Many have grown to be popular baby names, and you don’t want clients to associate you with their daughter or child. Ask a mom in your life for a list of names to avoid, as well.

Popular Names

When selecting a stripper name, it’s important to steer clear of traditional names that are commonly used for newborns or have a strong association with childhood. Here are some traditional names to avoid:

  • Emily: One of the most popular names over the last few decades, Emily is sweet and innocent, but not ideal for a seductive stage persona.
  • Olivia: Meaning “olive tree,” this name dated back to the 13th century and has seen a resurgence in popularity in recent years. While it may sound beautiful, it’s too traditional for a stripper name.
  • Scarlett: A passionate, colorful name that ranks high on the baby-name charts, Scarlett may be a little too on-the-nose for someone in the adult entertainment industry.
  • Violet: Also inappropriate because of its rank of 21 on the baby name list. Other names like Magenta or Cerise are better bets.
  • Sophia: This name means “wisdom” and is a top choice for many parents. Almost 12,000 girls were named Sophia in 2023, making it one of the most popular baby names. Avoid using this name as a stripper name to maintain professionalism.
  • Nova: Associated with stars, Nova means “new.” While its celestial connotations are interesting, it’s a favorite name for newborns (and cats).

Names Associated with Famous Characters and Celebrities

When choosing a stage name, avoid names that are strongly associated with well-known characters from movies, TV shows, or books. This can lead to confusion or copyright issues. Some common names include:

  • Hermione: This name became popular thanks to the beloved character from the Harry Potter series. You may be magic on the pole, but choosing this name could lead to confusion with the famous witch.
  • Harley: With the popularity of Harley Quinn, this name has become increasingly popular for strippers. Yes, Quinn is a sex symbol, but choosing a name that’s associated with a comic book isn’t marketable (copyright). No Jokers here!
  • Bella: Another popular baby name thanks to Twilight, Bella is also common among exotic dancers. But do you really want to share a stage name with a vampire-loving high schooler? Particularly, a repressed mormon-esque one?
  • Ariel: Thanks to Disney’s The Little Mermaid, this name conjures images of a red-headed mermaid rather than a sultry stripper.
  • Marilyn: While it may seem like the perfect choice for a Marilyn Monroe-inspired stage persona, tying yourself to a deceased starlet may not be the way to go. You don’t want to come across as impersonating or exploiting a cultural icon.

When it comes to your career as an exotic dancer, it’s best to keep the names unique and unconnected from famous figures. However, they do provide some sexy cosplay opportunities for off-stage experiences.
