When I was younger, all of the pretty girls who intimidated the fuck out of me were named Bianca. I remember there was one Bianca from another volleyball team, she was so tall and so gorgeous, and I wanted to be her.That's interesting! Some actually do put thought into their names. 1920's era New Orleans must have been something to see...its a very interesting city to tour & take in the history even now.
I obsess over images (if you couldn't tell), and I have this very full, complete picture of what I imagine New Orleans bordellos looked like in the 1920s and 30s, so I wanted a last name that would reflect that image.
I actually sat down with a notebook and wrote one column for first names, another for last names, and then I tried them all out together. Originally Posted by BiancaBonVivant

My original working girl name was the first name of a film's protagonist, and the last name of the person who directed it.
I've noticed that men who either hobby or partake in other social pay for play like webcam services will most likely give themselves an alias that starts with the letter "J". I'm assuming this is because the name "John" is so heavily associated with the hobby, and these guys say, "Nah, John is too obviously fake... I'll be Jay/Jason/Jake/Jeff/Jeremy instead." I could be wrong, but I doubt it.
This is of course different than the internet handle, which is another tradition in itself. Originally Posted by BiancaBonVivant

Ahhh the 20's imo one of greatest periods in our history, minus that whole stock market crash thing. That was when the mob took over NYC, speakeasies thrived, and most importantly that was when Swing dancing was born in Harlem, NY. The young beautiful women would hang out at the jazz clubs and were known as "Flappers" or "Jazz Babies". I would give anything to be able to go back in time and visit one of those clubs"Jazz Babies"...that would be an awesome name for an agency!
