Thread: OK - think I've got my name.....

I've been hunting for a name for ages - something that hadn't been done before and, although I've typed into the search engine loads of times and it hasn't come up.....I'm reticent to 'announce' it because I'll be really disappointed if it's being used.

OK - so I'm a professional Tarotist and I wanted to marry my interest in burlesque with my Tarot. So I came up with the name Gypsy Creams. With the strap line 'she puts the Tart into Tarot' :-DDDD

I thought it was taroty, burlesquey, funny, sexy, slightly old fashioned - a bit like myself....but has it been done?

*hides behind the sofa and waits for the deluge of postings to say that I need to return to the drawing board...again!*

I think it's a really cute name - certainly does everything you want it to!

A quick "google" of it turns up some biscuits with the same name.... so now I'm hungry and after biscuits lol...!!
But it doesn't look like there's anyone immediately famous of google-able with the name hehehe!

I love it! It sounds like a delicious old-fashioned biscuit.


Edit: haha, so it *is* a biscuit name. Genius.

Looks like it is an old fashioned biscuit too... I think the website say they were first around in the 60s? *giggles*




yum!

I don't think they make 'em anymore :-(

It is a name that evokes memories of 1970's flock-wallpaper and shagpile for me when my mother would invite her friends around for coffee and a chat in the afternoon... *sigh*

I like the name Alix. It suits you I think.

John

I really like the name and I think it suits you well.

I would only point out that Gypsy Creams is very close to Gypsy Charms, headmistress of the MoB Academy and well-known burlesque dancer, teacher and choreographer.

Honey - I don't think that there is ANY danger of anyone getting me and the gorgeous Gypsy Charms mixed up. I'm at least a decade older than her, five dress sizes larger than her and a whole load less talented in the burlesque department :-)

Hi Alix,
I agree with Honey Wilde. Please bear in mind that sometimes people just hear a name, and a lot of the time they mishear the name lol.

Say Gypsy Creams, then say Gypsy Charms. Out loud they are pretty close sounding. Now imagine your in a club with really loud music and someone is discussing Gypsy Charms, in that setting it would be easy to mishear.

I guess there's a few names that could probably be missheard in a loud club!

I'm not hoping to work as anything other than a rather saucily dressed Tarotist, perhaps at an event, doing tables/crowd - I've no idea whether that sort of thing would be useful at a burlesque night or not.

However, I take everyone's point that at some stage there could be confusion and ask her if it would be a problem for Gypsy Charms - perhaps I could put something on my website (not built yet!) that pointed folk in the right direction if they were actually looking for a slender dancer/burlesque star and not a Tarot reading from a middle-aged pudding in a corset? *grin*
