Ok, I will go first although mine is pretty easy to figure out. I was living in Georgia when I first joined TER and I was/am a degenerate gambler. hence GaGambler
OK, your turn.
One thing that never ceases to entertain me is looking through the reviews and reading providers' stage names. Bambi Butterfly Kisses, AleXXXa, Mimsy VonComebucket, Diamond Tiara... I'm making those up off the top of my head, but I guarantee that at least one of them probably exists somewhere out there lol.
Providers-- How did you choose your stage name? Does it have any special significance to you, or did it just sound cool?
Hobbyists-- What's the craziest/funniest/oddest stage name you've encountered? What about your TER handle, what does it mean
That is too funny. I would actually want to see a gal who had that stage name because she is showing a good sense of humor. (Yeah I am odd)
How about Ivana Humps Alot?
See link below......
Yep n she's a sweetheart! I adore Adora N I love cash too 
Hugs and kisses

that the name Alexandra conveyed intelligence with some naughtiness. All the other names that I like didn't seem to fit for me. Got to look like the name may fit. I can't be a Bertha or Blondie if I don't look like I'd fit the name. (examples). Also, Alexandra works great if they want to save my name in their contacts under "Alex". Can be passed off as a guy's name.
Obviously as far as my handle, I just used my stage name and my city. We all know I am in Milwaukee. Just straight to the point.
One of the oddest names I came across was CalamityJane. I don't know the woman and she is now retired. Just found it an odd name but with some personality perhaps. Not a bad name, just different.
I have seen some hobbyists' handles where it conveyed either curiousity, loathing/negativity, laughter/hilarity, warm feelings etc.
Mimsy sounds like s snob. She may not be a snob but it is the first thing that pops into my head when I hear that name.
I sort of want to add onto my handle but am not sure how many characters we are allowed. I'd be adding on 6 more.

No, I was going to put AlexandraSteeleMilw as my handle. Adding 6 letters. Adding 5 letters would make Milwaukee. I think everyone knows what Milw stands for and if they don't, I probably wouldn't want to see them anyways.
I have a thing for the word Steele. Anyways I am going to keep my name as is. Having AlexandraMilw as a handle and Alexandra for reviews is fine. Confuses things for some if I have a last name added on but only first name for reviews.
Just in case ... there was a real Calamity Jane. She is also retired. Don't mind the pics too much. She'd look a lot better if she did a shoot with Aldo
Weird, strange, but could be considered meaningful, I guess.
I once saw a provider in San Diego, who has since retired and was married, who was a Librarian in the real World.
Ready for her stage name ?
Paige Turner
The very first name I went by was my personal middle name (initially I was planning on using a different spelling of my real name...probably a good thing that I didn't). My next stage name (Kylie) was chosen by my former assistant. My current stage name is my porn name (though I don't advertise my last name in order to keep this business a bit separate from the porn business).
Reverse engineering using the "street you grew up on" + "name of first pet" rule, that means you grew up on Danielle Street and your first pet was named Doll. Or did I get it backwards
LOL...no "danielledoll" is just some random username I came up with for TER. I don't remember the name of the street I grew up on (I'm a military brat so moved around a ridiculous amount when I was younger). The owner of the network my site is under actually came up with the name "Danielle" for my porn stage name (I initially wanted to use the name "Genevieve" which I had used for two previous porn shoots). If I was to use the name of my first pet for my last name it would be either Bebe or Fifi (the names of my guinea pigs from when I was a child).
and had writers block trying to think of a name for a character I figured maybe I'd help him out a little PS you should see the lovely thank you note he PMed me.
As for providers, my first was Andrea Ferria who worked out of San Jose and Portland. I didn't think much of the name until it occurred to me that Ferria kinda meant money; very well done. She was smart as Faulkner lol, fun, normal, and worth all the ferria I had that night.
My name was Rash. But guys found that a bit off-putting, so I added the “a”
I can only imagine if you had changed your name to "A Rash" lol
I'm glad I didn't go for my first choice, which was Simplexia.
Sorry bullshit story, but that would be more interesting than the real reason I chose this handle.
My handle has little to do with the movie or book, but if I told you I'd have to kill you.
I like to imagine getting an awesome blowjob from her, and after I regain focus from the intense orgasm, I look over and there is one of these on the pillow next to me:
and other variations of cum and jizz.
I always end up with a large order of #69
Cream of Sum Yung Gai.
After all, it was not me who was consuming the Cream of Sum Yung Gai, Slingy.
PS: Love your yellow shorts
regarding whether or not to see someone?
I have to admit, I like a simple first and a last name. Silly word play would likely cause me to pass.
but I will skip over a woman if her handle turns me off.
For an example any woman with "goddess" in her name will never get a call from me.
Cunning Stunts. Of course she would answe her phone and screw up her name. And yes she was Stunning.
and a young lady from awhile ago named Jupiter, and she was white. That's one name that just didn't fit the bill. And my handle is how I am, never let anything get you down, everything will be ok.
So Ava St. Claire is actually a little inside joke with myself. It gives the impression of class and sophistication, but it's actually the name of a character from the TV show King of Queens-- A 70-something year old lounge singer, played by the fabulous Lainie Kazan.
Elegant and glamorous on the outside... sassy old broad on the inside 
As for the "THE" in my handle, apparently there's another AvaStClaire lurking on TER somewhere, since that name was unavailable. I guess, technically, I'm an impostor since she and Lanie Kazan came first... But I'm THE only one writing on these message boards
...October 1970.
What?! I like her even more now!
... or was that some other lounge singer, on some other sitcom?
IDK about other guys, but I'd never visit with a lady who excessively posts on TER, It just gives me the wrong impression.
Some other lounge singer, some other sitcom.
Also, thanks for the tip on how to repel trolls! Much appreciated
Trolls? I'm trying to avoid pimps, and don't nobody like to hear themselves talk more than a pimp.
--licking finger and marking a big ONE in the air---
way to go girl, great shot...
She doesn't even post half as much as London and I do. You post even more than us.
Why would a gal who has a mind and uses it give you the wrong impression? I for one like outgoing gals that post interesting things. It's called being friendly, unless they are posting ThreADS, of which she doesn't.

by that yardstick he hardly posts at all. lol
Who posts here excessively? 
... if it didn't make sense I wouldn't say it.
Best provider name - Lili Von Shtupp. Ok, she wasn't real - she was a character in Blazing Saddles. But I still love her just the same.
And my handle comes from... well... the short answer is that I'm a nerd. The full answer would be long winded and overly complicated.
Much like myself.
LO
I like Russian and Bbbj, being the nerd that I am, since I abbreviated Russian with Russ, and equations being equal I just had to abbreviate Bbbj with bbj. I totally get how stupid this sounds, but it makes perfect sense to me. Oh hell, I know full well how bent I am, but I am having fun.

What's in a name is really interesting, because there are some ladies I pass by strictly because of their poorly chosen names. But there are some names that catch your imagination. One of my favorites was great.day.to.play. One could draw the image of this woman being a lot of fun, which was actually beyond the truth. Another name I loved was Rockabella. Did one imagine that this lady was going to rock your world? She did, and then some! An interesting one that has a lot to do with your 'I love you' thread from a few days ago was, Luvmenot. You didn't want to mess around with her. I also liked the dancer name, V. Tracy. You got the impression that she was a little more thoughtful than the other ladies. Again, oh so true!
As for me, several of my lady friends have given me nicknames. My Ter name is an offshoot of two of those nicknames.
By the way, could you give me the link to Miss VonComebucket? She sounds like tons of fun.
subtle, yet accurate? Kitty Rains.........am sure it IS obvious.........but STILL subtle........she squirts.
....or pees ...which would also be obvious, lol!
She was a real hottie too.
My handle was bestowed upon me by a provider pal of my now beau, former escort Bev Fisher and me who wrote on this very board after we paid her a visit. She mentioned us as Ms and Mr Fisher, and I decided to take that as my handle.
Some guy once PMd me and part of his handle was Killa. Yeah, No thanks.
Have some acting experience primarily through Little Theatre. Played Governor John Slaton in a play called Parade. This was based on a mini series from the late 80's. In that min series The late great actor Jack Lemmon played Governor John Slaton. For more information one can google The Trial of Leo Frank, or The Murder of Mary Phagan
I never expected to become a hobbyist. if someone told me tow years ago that I would be hobbying today, I would not have believed it.
Would it be too far off to ask your provider what her real first name is? I suppose they'd be less reluctant to give it to their regulars, if it were to be made into a big deal.
I thought mine sounded cool...kinda like a sex superhero coming to save the day and take care of all the "hardened" criminals😉
