What are stripper names? And how do I avoid them?

What sort of names are seen as 'stripper-ish' or 'porny'?





I was recently told by a friend that one of the names I'm considering (Violet Dawn- two old family names) sounded like the name of a stripper. Now I'm worried that all of my name choices have a slightly sexually promiscuous vibe- which is something I *really* don't want. The names that are all in the running are: Katherine, Annaliese, Isadora, Lily, Elizabeth, Zinnia, Louisa, Adelaide, Violet, Elodie, Serena, Lucy, Genevieve and Evelyn. Do these names sound bad, or is it just that I paired Violet with a 'bad' middle name?

Relax; its just that you've paired Violet with a 'bad' middle name. Violet Dawn sounds like a 'nature' name which in turn makes it sound like a stripper name. Both names are nice, but I'd pick one or the other. Isadora Violet, Elizabeth Dawn, or Violet Lucy would sound great.





And if you want to avoid stripper names, avoid made-up names like Nevaeh. You might also want to avoid trendy, empty names like Bailey, Brinlee, Kaylie, etc.
Reply:I dont think Violet Dawn sounds like a stripper name at all. Are you sure the person that told you that isnt just jealous? I also Love the names Lily Elizabeth Serena and Evelyn and With Evelyn you could call her Evie They are all so cute
Reply:Violet Dawn sounds more hippie than stripper (sorry, no offense meant by that, but you know what I mean? Names like Summer Rain and Crystal Snowflake), even though both are real girls' names.





I think it would sound better reversed: Dawn Violet





The thing is, Violet is a beautiful name, but also a dark, sultry color, so people might associate it with sexy, sultry women.
Reply:its the middle name that makes it sound stripper-like. all your names are adorable. just keep something simplier for the middle name.
Reply:Well in my opinion no it doesn't sound whorish. In fact a name is only whorish unless the person makes it that way. Besides a name is a name and either one you pick will be great. There will be more things to worry about when little Violet Dawn comes. Oh and yeah you did pair Violet with a bad middle name.
Reply:It was the combination you used. Try Katherine Violet or Lily Isadora, I just wouldn't use Dawn, Starr, Love, ones like that.
Reply:seperatley Violet and Dawn are fine names but should be used as a middle name i believe the best way to decide if a name is good is introduce them as a doctor so does Dr Violet Dawn (your last name) sound good? or not ? just consider it
Reply:the bad ones are isadora, zinnia, louisa, adelaide, serena and genevieve
Reply:when you call anyone one by two names it can sound like a stripper and another one sure way to tell is if it sounds like an animal or a car i.e. lexus, porche stuff like that.
Reply:Dawn seems kind of stripper to me... Violet sounds lovely if you pair it with something more classic though. I love how Violet Elizabeth and Violet Evelyn sound, personally :)





As a side, the ones that sound slightly "stripper" to me are Zinnia, Elodie and Serena.
Reply:Savanna Jade


Serenity Rose


Bianca Louise
Reply:I don't think any of your names sound like strippers. My sister's middle name is Dawn. I always thought it was very beautiful, reminds me of a sunset. Do what you want.





Serena Dawn or Elizabeth Dawn or Rachel Dawn





good luck!
Reply:I don't think Violet Dawn is too much of a stripper name, but it's basically a sunrise if you think about it which could lead to others thinking of it in a bad way, one that you didn't intend. I don't think any of your other names are "stripperish". But stay away from made up names. You have some pretty classic names, except for Zinnia. That is the only one I would say DO NOT USE. I really love Evelyn and Lily from your list.

Reply:Stripper names are like Candy, Star, Co Co, Rainbow, Rain, Capri, Sky etc
Reply:It is a bad pairing, neither name is stripperish on its own. Stuff like Misty Rose, Autumn Rain and Violet Dawn sound stripperish. Avoid jewel names like Diamond, Saphire, Jade and Amber. Avoid car names like Porsche, Mercedes and Lexus. Obviously you can run your suggestions through here. People will tell you really quickly if it sounds stripperish.
