ORIGINAL: Owner4SexSlave He was simply asking for advice, I don't know about you, but I come from the school of thought, that the only dumb question is one that is not asked. Nonesense. It's a harsh reality, but there's plenty of dumb questions - in particular those that are asked out of lazyness in stead of doing some rudimentary obligatory research. It is far more accurate to say that seeking knowledge is never dumb...and quite often asking random strangers for the answer is simply not the smart thing to do. Consider my reply to be a 'RTFM' response...doing a little reading of the forum in stead of immediately posting a topic, he could easily have found out that there is no 'standard' way of naming submissives. I would consider his post to this message board part of "rudimentary obligatory research". The internet is after all a great tool for doing research. He was asking for ideas on something specific and help. He did not ask for other to actually Name this girl, but for ideas. Ideas are just a pool to draw upon and make decision. Hell, people do the same thing when trying to come up with a name for their new born baby. Matter of fact there are books and articles written regarding the meaning of Names, just for people to name their baby. People go to Borders or Barnes and Nobles to buy such books even. I suppose they should have no business having a Baby, if one is to prescribe this this lines of thinking? OK, if one googles "slave name" an article such as this comes up. http://www.afrolumens.org/slavery/names.html mind you it applies to Real life slavery of american history. However, it outlines some method to a madness. Things such as... - Names Derived From Antiquity
- Biblically Inspired Names
- Names Inspired by Locations
- Novelty Names
- Descriptive Names
All of which can be used to provoke deeper thought into a name to give a slave in the BDSM lifestyle itself. Again back to my comparison of one selecting a name for Baby. There are books and even whole websites on this matter.. http://www.babynamesworld.com/ I suppose anybody asking for ideas for their Baby should be meant with sharp remarks "that they have no business being a parent" as well? A message board such as this should is a wonderul and tool for research, and in provoking some positive thought and exchange of ideas. Here's an interesting Link on BDSM slave names.. http://www.steel-door.com/tagging.htm Here's another link, where somebody posted similar advice I gave regarding doing it at the time of Collaring.. http://en.allexperts.com/q/BDSM-2733/Slave-Naming-1.htm This was on another message board on the internet, I don't see people belittling the OP there. Here's a follow up post to it as well... http://en.allexperts.com/q/BDSM-2733/f_4616650.htm I wonder how many other people give their slaves a name during a Collaring Cermony? If there are a number of people that do this, then is this not something that could be considered a Formal Protocal in BDSM that some people practice or follow? Mind you there is not any one set TRUE WAY of doing things in BDSM, however this at least reflects this is something is a common practice within a segment in the community. Also, what's wrong with asking random strangers for thoughts and ideas regarding something? Again, this is only asking for input on a matter, and not asking a stranger to make a decision or choice for oneself. The OP did not say, I want somebody to name name my slave because I can't. He simply asked for ideas, and not for somebody to make up his mind for him. Let's see, what else about Slave names for ideas? I could imagine this thread could spin off into... use of Slave Name tags, Name on Collars, Registration of slave with a Slave registry... All kinds of things I make the giving of the Name have more meaning at the time as well. Help form a deeper significance with giving the name. Perhaps I'm the one being too harsh, or out of line on this thread. Perhaps, I've just had a bad day and need to pick on somebody to make me feel better about myself and my crappy life. Perhaps, I'm just too narrow minded to realize that the OP was asking a dumb ass out of line question. Perhaps, I'm too set in my way from all the years of my own BDSM experiences. Perhaps, I just want to slam other people and make myself look better. Perhaps, I just want to slam body and be a comedian for a moment, get people to laugh at somebody elses expense for day. Perhaps, I'm just an idiot that does not understand anything at all going on. Perhaps, I'm just being all emotional and not able to clearly see when other people are being constructive and respectful of others.
