I'm interested to find out how you choose your professional Mistress name - I'm struggling - I really want something original but just comping up short at the moment.

I pulled mine out of thin air. I've no idea where it came from. It might have something to do with there being a type of Nightshade called Purple Nightshade, and me being obsessed with the colour purple.

I'm slightly regretting my choice now though. I'd checked that there were no other Dommes using the name before I settled on it, but I hadn't realised there is a book called Lady Nightshade.

Yeah I know what you mean about not having the same name as someone else - which is why I'm trying to steer away from colours, any reference to bdsm or personal names. I think I may just have to get my thesauraus out and start reading!

I do like your name though. My friend just suggested Mistress Midnightslash but someone's already got it!

I'm strict and you know you love it, that's why you come back time after time, so don't sit there and complain.

Don't worry about that. I've got used to sharing my Google space with Anthony Trollope's famous novel, and a hotel in Mykonos. Just think of the pleasure you get when you gradually push them down the page and take top spot/s. :-D

Midnightslash? Makes me think of middle aged men with enlarged prostates.

Go with something simple is my advice.

Your pendant in your pic suggests to me Miss/Mistress Krypt, not sure why.

Edit: well I guess it's obvious why, reminds me of something I've seen but don't remember from smallville/superman

I spent ages looking though lists of exotic names, but ended up with this one. The main reason is that no one else had it. Had a few choices before but they were all taken.

it's difficult though - I don't want to regret the choice later after doing all my marketing etc. gonna think long and hard about this one.

I'm with Lady Anna on this one - go for something pretty straightforward

For many subs looking for a PD the website, the person you are and possibly the connection are far more important than the name

oh - and good luck

:) :)

It has to be something that describes you and something that rolls off the tongue. For a long time I was sweetie because my boyfriend used to call it me all the time, and it kind of stuck. Now I'm chastityslaveFE because we practice enforced orgasm denial, I have no say at all when I will orgasm, and it may possibly even be permanent, if Sir chose it to be - hence, chastityslaveFE (forever).

I would say, take the first thing that comes to mind, and use that. You can overthink these things sometimes.
