How do people decide potential baby names are stripper names? I've given DH some ideas and he says they are totally stripper names. I've also heard others say certain names are stripper names. So how am I supposed to know what names are stripper names, since I've never met a stripper. Would you name your baby a "stripper name"?
-
Haha, this was one of our criteria. I don't know what it is about the names that make them seem that way. I guess just the mental picture you get when you hear it?
-
I think some "food names" are stripper-ish. Like Candy/Muffin, etc. LOL.
-
Some people say our daughter's middle is a porn star name. WhaTever.....I don't think so at all!!
I don't get the criteria either. My hubby would say the some thing.
-
@adnama: lol I have a neighbor girl named taffy. The cutest little girl I've ever seen. Is taffy a stripper name?
-
I think anything verrrryy unusual is a potential stripper name. There aren't many Heather strippers, but Elektra, Candy, etc. Anything spelled strange too, like Karmin.
-
@anonysquire: Hmm.. Maybe! It is kind of cute though! haha
-
@zippylef: @Rainbow Sprinkles: Ya I'm ok with naming my kids something that is considered a stripper or porn name but I wouldn't want DH hating it his whole life.
-
@adnama: yes! Candies and jewels sometimes!
Two of the names that I got vetoed by all the guys are Madison and Ashley. I think both are lovely names, but apparently there's a website called Ashley Madison for cheaters! :O
Another name that I used to love but somehow people say is a "stripper name" was Jade. Oh well... I still think all the names are lovely, but I understand if a Daddy-to-be doesn't want anything that makes him or his friends think of a stripper. Lol -
I just asked my husband what he would consider a stripper name for a baby and he said the names Neveah and Destiny were the first to come to mind.
However, I am sure there are substantially more Neveah's and Destiny's who are not strippers than actually are.

TrinityAs long as your daughter avoids acrylic platforms and pasties, I think she'll be A-ok even with a "stripper" name.
I'd totally name my kid Claire, Lola or Bailey.
-
Yeah it's hard to articulate what makes a name a stripper name... But I know it when I hear it. Candy and Destiny were the first to come to mind. And I agree with @MrsTiz: that strange spellings (particularly spellings with extra unnecessary vowels) make a name more stripperesque as well.
-
@Mrs. Tricycle: ummmm my mothers name is totally on that list WTF!!!!!
the names I thought of were Bambi, Barbie..
@shopaholic: what? definitely wouldn't have thought that name. My cousins name is Jadyn!
-
@Mrs. Tricycle: chahahahah love that list. I know so many people with those names lol.
@rahlyrah: My friend has a friend named destiny and I always call her stripper destiny. I don't know why?
-
Haha fantasia made me lol. As if that's a real name. @Coco Bee: hope that's not your mothers name. Haha
-
@Mrs. Tricycle: I love the name Lexie but DH vetoed it cause he said it's stripper name and we got into it about whether it is or isn't a stripper name. I am NOT showing him that list!!
-
@IcebergMom: wasn't there an American idol winner named fantasia?
-
I think guys are probably the "expert" here... If they've ever seen "Eva, now performing on stage 2," they will think its a stripper name.
That being said, I would never give a daughter of mine the name Taffy or Bambi or (ack!) Trinity because I don't feel those are names she could grow old gracefully with. They just sound cheesy to me. Dr. Bambi anyone? -
@lawbee11: my nail girl named her daughter Lexie- they picked it because her husband liked that she could be called "Sexy Lexie"! How weird is that?!??
-
@anonysquire: I must have missed that season but it does sound kind of familiar. Was she a stripper? Lol
-
@Pink Champagne: umm very weird. My DH didn't even like hearing that my 16month old girlie was kissing toddler boys. Lol
-
@Pink Champagne: Lexie is cute but Sexy Lexie is not! Woah!
-
@IcebergMom: she is black. Not sure on the stripper part lol. I could be wrong. It was ages ago though.
-
@Pink Champagne: OMG - I liked that name from Grey's Anatomy and my DH said "omg, people will call here "sexy lexie" her whole life - I can't handle that!"
-
@Mrs. Tricycle: The irony of Chastity being a "stripper name"- lol:)
-
@Mrs. Tricycle: I definitely DON'T think Claire or Bailey sound like stripper names at all. Especially Claire. That's such a classic, pretty name?
-
I think stripper names are the really frilly ones, like - Sparkle, Destiny, Diamond, and ones that are spelled funny like Kandy and Karmin.
-
@IcebergMom: hahaha no it's not.
@anonysquire: yup! Fantasia won AI!
-
@PrincessBaby: bahaha.
-
@PrincessBaby: omg I have a neighbor named chastity. She has 9 siblings all wi similar names. Chastity, celestial, harmony, charity, heavenly and so on. I can't remember the rest. Oh and they have a brother named north.
-
@Arden: sparkle is on my list....
-
@Pink Champagne: What dad wants to think about people calling his daughter "sexy"?? Weird!!
-
The most ridiculous name I've ever heard IRL was "Felony." I would like to formally add that one to the Stripper list. Or at the very least, the "Destined to a Life of Crime" list.
-
@PrincessBaby: bahahahaha OMG, clearly her parents did not watch Freakonomics!
-
@Mrs. Tricycle: Destiny was the first name I thought of! lol!
My neighbor named her daughter Savannah and has been told several times that it's a stripper or "white trash" name. She gets really offended. I probably would too, to be honest.
-
A guy I grew up with married a girl named Bambi. She's as far from a stripper as could be, but while her name is terrible on its own, it's pretty disastrous with his last name. It's Bush. Yup.
-
@bree72: OMG. I went to high school with a guy whose last name was Boner. And yeah, it was pronounced just like it.
My parent's neighbor was named Buffy. I think I'm nerdy enough that it just reminded me of the TV show though.
-
@PrincessBaby: Maybe she was conceived during the commission of a felony??
-
One of my college roomies was a stripper and her stage name was Trysta...lol!
-
Besides the obvious ones, I don't know but DH tells me. I wanted to name our #2 Vivian/Vivienne but he insists it is a stripper name.
I'd totally name my kid Claire, Lola or Bailey.
