Hellobee Boards

Ha! I loved the name Gemma and my husband thought that was a stripper name. Booo

The tellers at the bank I used in college were Candie, Dawn, and Bambi.

The classics like Chastity, Destiny and Diamond, of course.

The "Mc" names come off strippery to me: McKinley, McKenna.

Some of the city/state names for girls: London, Paris, Brooklynn, etc.

I don't know what makes a stripper name.....when you hear one though, you know it!

@lilyofthewest: Bambi is such a stripper name! What kind of bank was this? Did they shimmy and toss their hair around when counting out your bills?

Summer was the first thing that popped into my head!

FWIW, I loveeee Savannah, stripperish or not

Anything with a kr8tiv spelling. Also any virtue name (Chastity, Faith, etc). But I also think that some names go either way. Like Trixie is sort of strippery to me--- but when you think of it as a nn for beatrix it becomes adorable and I love it. And my husband thinks Eve is a stripper name, whereas I don't see that at all!

@loveisstrange: Oh yea totally. Porsche, Mercedes, etc… totally strippery.

Amber is a strippery name to me. (Which I feel really bad saying since a good friend named her LO that...)

@Mae: what about Portia? I think it's so pretty but definitely not Porsche

Destiny is the most stripperish to me. Also Venus and Lovely

@hellobeeboston: I love the name Gemma! definitely don't think that falls into this category.

@T.H.O.U.: I used to babysit a Savannah and she is the sweetest thing! I never would have pinned that for a stripper name at all.

I really don't like classifying names as stripper names. I feel that it's unfair to people who actually have that name. The only name I would say IS stripper would be Bambi.

I think I know too many Candace's/Candy's for me to think of a name in that way.

DH rejected Lexie because he said it's a stripper name. He also didn't want her to be called "Sexy Lexie."

When I saw the thread title, the only name that came to my mind was Savannah! Poor Savannah.

@rattles: I've seen my mom's name on one of these threads started in the past, and sure it irked me, but it is what it is. I personally have never seen it/heard it as one...

Destiny. My mom is a fourth grade teacher and she had a girl named Destiny who is destined to become a stripper. She would try to sell kisses to boys in the class. That was a crazy school year.

@Crystal: Aw, I'm sorry! More often than not they'd pronounce it Chris-stall (like the champagne?)

Hey, i think if you're opening this thread you're opening yourself up to the possibility of seeing a name you love or of someone you know on it! lol

One of my friends posted something about this on FB the other day because he was at a normal restaurant and their waitress's name was Precious. Yep, there's one.

@sarac: such a bummer because I honestly really like the name trixie as a nn for beatrice or beatrix!

@sandy: would you pronounce it the same way? I mean if I heard a name spoken that sounded like "Porshe" it would sound stripper-y to me. When it is written it just reminds me of Portia de Rossi.

@Crystal: I am also a Crystal. I always joke that you never hear of professionals names Crystal. They are always trail or trash strippers or ghetto fabulous. My Mom totally gets offended every time I say it.

Heaven, and Nikki
