Thread: and you thought another performer using your stage name was bad enough...

...what about when you find someone random suggesting your stage name as a good name for a newbie to use?!

This week's self-google found this beaut:

Yahoo! Answers - Can anyone help me come up with a few burlesque stage names?

The world's a strange place.

EDIT: And I just found that 'beatrixvonbourbon' is a registered username on Yahoo... but it's not been registered by me!!!

i bet your pissed off?
xx oh well there is only one!!

I'm not angry at all. I've got the name registered in the places that count...

...it's just a bit weird.

maybe he's seen you perform and thinks he can pass it off as his own suggestion?
people are strange
xx

I like the name 'Honey Von Da Belt'

Some guy also left a couple of picture comments on MySpace along the lines of:

- I love women with chestpieces
- I have a copy of the magazine with you (and your chest piece) on the cover
- You might like my chestpiece

...only to find he has a microphone *extremely* similar to mine tattooed on his sternum.

Goddamn. What a strange evening.

At least I won at poker.

That sucks hon,

Well it's not that uncommon, Daisy Cutter is used by someone in my troupe. LOL

I seem to remember when we met at CandyBox your young chap telling me that your name was based around a historical European lady?

Perhaps this Yahoo bloke has a fixation with obscure European aristocracy figures (and was really pissed off when someone else grabbed the name "Franz Ferdinand")...

Funnily enough, I conceived of the name first and then, after an internet search, discovered the historical figure: Countess Beatrice of Bourbon (1320 - 1383).

I just tried to find an interesting web page on her, but could only find substantial amounts of text in German.

Hi all, I'm a newby to the forum. How due you find out if your name is taken? I have googled it and searched on myspace for the name and it has not come up.....does this mean its safe to use. I don't want to be treading on any ones toes....

A worried newby :worried:
