It very much depends on what sort of performer you are Jennie. Are you a glamorous showgirl type, a comedy act, a traditional 30s/40s blitz bunny, or a darker more gothic neo burlesquer? Your name should tell the audience something about you, so if you're a bit of a self professed geek, I'd go with that.
I personally like She-ra's alter ego 'Princess Adora' or Mistique's which is 'Raven Darkhölme'.
Alter egos may be too suble for a mass audience though so you could always go for something obvious like Bookworm Babs, Pamela Graphic or if you wanted to be a bit clever 'Barbara Bluestocking'. (Bluestocking means an educated intellectual woman.)
I hope you have your eureka moment soon. Sometimes you just have to try a name on for a bit and see how it feels. Good luck x

I like Pamela Poison i'm new to burlesque too and i have no idea where to even start with ideas for names. Can you help me as well?

I found it really helpful to make a name wall. All you need is..

- Your imagination
- A dictionary/the internet
- Colourful post it notes
- a pen

Write words that you like, find inspirational, that sound nice, the are cool etc.. on post it notes and put them all over the room you spend most of your time in. As the days go by you'll find yourself putting certain words together and will find that certain ones stick out. It's a good way I find to come up with a name thats personal to you. x

everyone tells me i'm a very sweet person and i love to dance and i really like the sound of the word "darling" i just dont know how to work it in. The first thought for my name, i'm still debating wheter or not its good enough, but it does mean something to me and that is supposed to be the point right? My nickname is Lissa and my favorite pet (cat) Milo passed away almost a year ago this february and i thought the name Lissa De Milo sounded good but i'm just not sure... any thoughts?

Lissa Darling??? Sounds cute to me! xx

Lissa Darling is very similar to established performer Lydia Darling. How about Darla De Ling or Darla De Milo?

Barbara-rah! or Barbara Wire for Miss Jennie
