Advice on naming a slave - 7/17/2013 7:46:07 AM

I have recently taken on a slave, and will be formally collaring her in about a weeks time, we have agreed that I should give her a new slave name, however I am having a bit of 'writers block' so to speak! Was just wondering what other masters (not gorean) have given to their slaves? I know ultimately it is down to me and my preferences but I would love to hear ideas, ie do I go for a pretty girls name that I like, something more exotic with a hidden meaning, or maybe something a bit more..ahem..obvious! Would love to hear your experiences!

How do you think your slave would feel if she knew you'd posted this?

Not sure what that has to do with anything! She has left it entirely up to me, and I have a few ideas, but was just wondering what others had done!

I've used middle names.

BUT, usually the slave will "tell" you by some action, just as dogs and cats "tell" you their name. A friend had a cat that as soon as they got home, curled up in his Nikes.

I was doing puppy play with current, and asked him his name, and he spelled out Geist. Turns out that was his dog's name from puppy until death 14 years later. Grey Weimaraner had the name of Ghost in German.

So, it's more to important to the SLAVE than to the MASTER.

HOWEVER, don't just ask her. I think slaves are hoping Master will "pick-up" on the clues.

I hope this murky post helps.

ETA: Color, food, location, animal, and then translate it.

I'm agreeing with this. I'm not a slave, but I might look at you a little incompetent for this. Nothing to make me leave, but I'd be running over you within weeks. Just my two cents.
Lance gave you great advice.

Well, if you are the jailer of love, name her inmate 90210.

Give her a number and watch her closely.

~FRing it~

My situation with my guy is a bit different due our switching with each other, but I'll give answering your question a go. We actually each have a set of names...one for when we are dominant, one for when we are submitting. He selected his dominant name and then gave me a choice between 3 names that he felt fit me. Ultimately I chose mine, but it was out of choices that meant something to him. I did the same thing with him and for myself with my dominant side. Ours are deeply meaningful and personally tailored to each of us. In my eyes, that is what makes a slave (or in our case submissive) special. Three of our names are Native American words...and one comes from around the time of the French Revolution.

Pick something that speaks to you about what she represents or means to you. It can be in another language if you want. But trust me on this...take time and think about it. Her knowing that you thought long and hard about it is going to make that slave name very special to her. Even more than it already will be. Just my $0.02

Granted, most of my relationships weren't long enough to get to the level of properly "naming" a slave, but I've often wondered about the aspect of giving them a number instead. There's something about being reduced to a string of digits that lends to the dehumanizing aspect of enslaving someone. Not saying you should do this, because I have no idea of the actual depth of your dynamic, just throwing the idea out there. Perhaps using their birthdate, or some other identifier unique to them?

Thanks Lance, that is exactly what I have been doing, paying close attention to her to chose I name that will suit her! Perhaps I somewhat mis-worded my original post, I don't want anyone to come up with a name for her, just wondering how others came to their decisions. That said I would never consider myself too arrogant to ask for advice if needed, and neither would my slave!

I think some people naturally are nick namers, and some aren't. Himself, my sub, and I have numerous nick names for each other and our pets. It's how we roll.

Perhaps you aren't a namer, Jailer.

I think another possibility is that the name itself has such personal significance and important to you both that it's become a 'thing' that your mind has decided to block. I can see this happening to me.

If it did happen to me, I would do two things, were I in your situation. First, I would take away the collaring and the naming. If you don't have a name by then so be it. A name has to be RIGHT. So don't try to force it.

When my mind is blocked, the last thing I can do is apply force.

Second, before you go to bed at night, ask your subconscious to work on this name problem for you. if you wake up with a good one, great, if you don't, no problems, you will try again the next night.

Best, CP

Very nice. This is very honest and quite understandable. "What to name a slave?" It is something few of us get to do so this is step in a journey few couples, relatively speaking, take together. Thanks for asking for our experiences. I did read that you did not want name suggestions but want to hear of our experiences.

I went down this path with the submissive named in my profile. When the time came to enslave herself to me it then came time to choose a "slave name" for fun, for our benefit and our use. To this day we use her slave name when we desire. If you were to call her using her slave name on my Lincoln Sync system it would dial her number. If you were to address her by her slave name in person she would answer.

I coincidently chose a name she already had as her middle name not knowing it was her middle name already. I chose something that signified what she was to me in my journey through our lives together. I came to realize she is the "Star" of my journey now and so I named her so. What ever you name her, I think she will love it if you follow your heart as well as your head when coming up with a name because (I suggest) it will become a dear thing that means so very much more than a vanilla pet name, yes so much more to a couple who are One.

I tend to pick names that represent who that person is to Me or the situation of the dynamic. It can be something small that really speaks to Me in some way. On occasion, I'll even name folks who aren't Mine as a slave, but a special name for them as a play partner. It's something special about them or our time together.

Because of this, I don't honestly have a suggestion for you. Without knowing a person, I couldn't name them.

I do the stereotypical "your name is Slave thing". Always have. So reading how others do it has been pretty cool. Would love to hear about what name you use. And why.

With the greatest respect.. are you really not sure what that has to do with anything?

I mean... it doesn't take a Stephen Hawkins stylee thought process to see how the feelings of a recipient of a name might not only have something to do with something, but might even also have something to do with the choosing of a name.

But hey, call me batshit crazy

How about

"S-for"

As in "S" for Slave.

It worked with my cats. Obviously, I didn't call them "S-for".

The first was called "C-for", the second was called "O-for"

As in "C" for cat, "O" for other cat.

I have a bit of a hard time seeing how if you recently taken on a slave you are ready to collar her already.
It is not that you are doing it wrong, but that to me, collaring is a big deal and I don't have any comprehension of instant collars: just add submissive partner.

If you recently took her on then you still do not really know each other yet... which means it is difficult to know if the 2 of you are actually compatible as partners.

Having said that, I had a sense very early on with [my] Master that He was "the One".

Her name should be something special to both of you; is there a character in a book you both love, that you could use?

In our dynamic, He has a variation of my name; a nickname, if you will, that is made special by virtue of Him adding "His" before it.

And for me, there is nothing more special than my being His.
