i have given names:

i have been named:

I find the act of me naming what is mine, or them naming what is thiers, a deeply intimate and beautiful act.

And to those that think they would forget that name? i think they would surprise themselves at how quickly and profoundly you align your whole being with it.

i have four names:
Angelchild
Princess
Little One
and Indigochild (abbreviated to Indigo, the name my Master calls me)
My contract, which i signed in my blood, bears my mark: i

It's not what you call me, it's what I'll answer to that counts. *grin*

My Sir asked me to adopt a scene name and let me choose it. I picked Aidan because it was and old character name from when I worked at the Ren Faire and I couldn't think of anything else that sounded remotely like me that was also a name. The name in and of itself has no real meaning for me. I've had lots of names.

I started using my middle name in 6th grade. At the camp where I taught horseback riding at I was "Pony". I had no clue of the BDSM significance of that name... it's just that I'm addicted to horses and I'm short... exactly 14.2 hands high, to be precise. My former sis calls me "brat", which lead me to my screen name here.

Sir very rarely calls me Aidan... or even my real name. I'm usually "cutie" or "deary"... though, anything with "my" in front of it makes me melt. *grin*

New names take some getting used to. Some of that is good, some... not so much. Regardless... I hear him call and I come running!

I have no opinion on this really other than if i had been allowed to come up with my own it would either have been something not so nice like 'freak' or cutesy like 'fuck candy'.
Pretty sure Sir would say neither of these suit me or resemble me to him. He calls me 'minx'. Common place? most definately. Descriptive of me? To Sir yep.
So i guess my opinion would be i would rather as Sir did he choose my slave name but each to thier own as always.

Edited because i agree with the dark below. my slave name is just a nick and i presumed that was what we were talking about - my bad lol.

Ha! Ha! "Fuck candy" I love that. If/when I get a slave I want to use that. Unless you copy right it that is.

This is my opinion on the matter. I would never expect for a slave to come up with their own nickname or slave name. That's something I'm resposible for doing as a DOM, actually I believe in names with either meaning or a name that sounds beautiful to say/think that is a personal name special to the relationship.

Not to belittle things here with this comparison, would anybody who owns a pet, expect for the pet to come up with it's own name?

I really don't get it, or understand anybody who makes a slave/sub come up with their own nickname or name.

It's one thing to look for suggestions for the types of names, ideas ranging from indian names, to celtic names, or picking a name with meaning. However at the end of the day, it's up to the Dom/Master/Owner to do this.

This is my opinion for what it's worth.

I sorta got a new name but its not really a 'slave' name nor is it used all the time. I was equated to White Tiger, a fung shui animal, I found the japanease spelling of tiger which was Tora and that name is used a fair bit. For me its not actually much to do with BDSM or even the relationship more to do with my spirituality, I have never really gelled with my name, the reason behid it is the antithisis to who I am, but its not a name thats used only in pay or even generally to be honest. I wouldnt want to change my name lightheartedly but it is something that I have been considering.

I have had nicknames in other relationships, one which became what I was known as to pretty much everyone I knew in the scene but again that was less to do with my introducing myself as it than the fact that it just fit well and became habit. I think that it depends really. I think that nicknames and name changes should reflect the person rather than be a projection, I dont really think you can choose a nickname they jsut kind of become.

My Dom has two "pet names" for me. One of them, Star, was because I have this fascination with the moon. He would ask, when I looked at the sky, if I was looking for "my friend." Eventually it just became this affectionate thing he called me. I don't think it's much different than any sort of honey name any one person might have for their significant other... except that for me, because of who and how we are, when he calls me "my Star" I feel laid low, in a sweet tender sort of way.

The other he asked me to think about. He wanted something he could say, in public if need be, that would immediately get my attention and let me know that I had crossed the line without making anyone around us uncomfortable. Y'know, unobtrusive like. I mentioned in casual conversation once that my father used to have this very specific way of abbreviating my name when I was in serious trouble. We agreed that that would be a good name for him to use. I think that because I played a part in picking that name I respon to it more than I might otherwise... it's something that came from my past, something that already had significance for me. If he hadn't asked for my input he never would have known that, and if he had simply chosen a name that would have been absolutely fine and I would certainly bide by it... but I'm glad he did ask. He doesn't use it often - he really does save it for when I've screwed up pretty royally - but, Lordie! When he uses it I sit up and pay attention.

Substitute "pet name" for "slave name" then, and be happy in your life.

I do think the OP was asking about slaves choosing their own names, versus having their names chosen for them. You missed a part. You call your girl bitch most days. Did you choose that? Did she? Why?

I know this sounds odd, but I think my pets (animal companions, not in the BDSM sense) tell me their names and what they would like to be called. Sometimes it takes them a while. As for the other, I've never had anyone give me a name other than my given one.

My masters just call me little Tia when we are alone but when he takes me outside in public he or she puts me in my place! I've tryed to not be called to many dirty names when I first started being dominated in public but now I just say forget that you can just be as rough as you want with me I just love the nasty name calling & hair pulling whispering in my ear is my favorite. I love this very much! I love being degraded! Take me out in a public place and show me who's in charge!

Yeah you!

little Tia
