      Stage names are typically made up. That dancer you like named after a city is probably actually a Jennifer or an Amanda.

      As a joke, you’re damn right lol.

      In reality, back when I was bouncing strip clubs, it was car names that ended up grinding a pole. Mercedes in particular. Knew three different strippers named Mercedes, only ever met one with a state name that wasn’t a last name.

      One Porsche, one Ferrari.

      But the rest had pretty typical names, rather than being named after something. You’d run into names from languages other than English being placed on ladies that couldn’t speak them for sure. But nothing too weird.

      Also, in the joints I worked at, ladies working through school was more common than I expected, but far from being as many as you’d hear telling customers they were.

      This one place, a nicer joint, there was a lady that was doing a master’s in psychology, and she ended up kinda recruiting three other ladies from the same school that worked there for a while. And one of those got two of her friends jobs there, one as a dancer, the other behind the bar.
