Code Blue 3585 Report post Posted September 25, 2011 (edited) "Look before you leap" For those of us inclined toward doing a little research into our interests, a site such as this is a great resource. For those hobbyists who can't or won't make the effort it is their loss. This place is not hard to find... I managed :icon_smile: From the business perspective, I would think the only easy way of maintaining a "unique brand identity" would be CERB.

Nicolette Vaughn 294340 Report post Posted September 27, 2011 Unfortunately another SP out west has decided to take my last name with the same spelling! C'mon ladies! Think of something original! I could see someone using the same first name that was common but a last name never ever used in the business with the same spelling? Definitely not a coincidence especially since they have been a member of cerb since June 2011. There is only one Nicolette V aughn. And Vaughn is actually an ancestral name in my family. Start brainstorming and use original last names please! It makes offending SPs look tacky and not too bright because they don't want to use their brain to think of a name that will be profitable for them. I guess riding on someone else's coattails who has done all the fieldwork here seems much easier right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She did her research, found many original names and had us vote. We all loved her name because it was unique, beautiful and soooo her. I guess what I am trying to say is that she went thru the trouble to form a unique identity. Is that really so hard to do???? Why would anyone want to "steal" a name? Show us how intelligent, unique, creative you really are!!! That is the best advertising possible! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I did do this almost a year and a half ago after being out of the business for a while. My last escorting name and domain I used in the past was turned into a dating site for married people so I had to come up with something new. I almost became Natasha Huffington but after careful consideration it sounded too sno bby and mean. And there was Al exa Ashby which sounded like a character from a soap opera. Now there are some original names! If any SPs need help creating a name that is original and so unique that no one will decide to recycle it by taking it as their own, I will offer my name generator service free of charge!!
