I don't have a M/s name. My owner owns Claire, not some different name segmented personality distinct from Claire. To me there's always been something a bit split personality-ish about having a slave name/master name.

My online nickname comes from a song I love by Tom Petty, Wildflowers.

You know, you do not different names than the ones your parents gave you unless you use them to help you get into a different headspace.

Fox had a "sub name" when he was trained and I gave him a "slave name" when we signed the ownership contract. But frankly since we are 24/7 and live together it became rather silly to use anything other than his name, Fox.

If you like the idea of a scene name, make a list of what you expect such a name to do for you. Turn you on, make you feel more sub or dom, call attention to a physical quality, what? Once you have a better idea of what you want from such a name, I think you can then start generating another lists of names that fulfill those expectations.

Maybe I'm just not all that creative. I simply use my name. I prefer to expend my creative energies on play time.

But, if you are set on some cute names, I would look at what each of you like, your various personalities, what distinguishes you and try a few on for size. Something will stick but it has to be personal to you both.

I love to do this...I choose my slave's name based on something about him that touches me. I chose flutter once because he made my heart flutter. I chose scintilla once because that is shiny in Spanish and not only did he have a spark in one eye but he simply shone in day to day life. I am currently working on finding what is just right for lovely Robert who is mentioned in my journal.

I never use the word pet because for me it is simply to generic. I want the name to reflect US. I often think of a word in English and then use an online translator to find a cool counterpart in German, French, etc... Maybe the best example of that was my last live in. He identified with being a "fairy" (bisexual and fairy was his word) and loved pink. I chose to call him Hada Rosada or Pink Fairy with the femme gender in Spanish. I called him Hada for short.

I just go by the same nicname that I go by on IRC SwitchWitch. And when I collar a sub, I hope they would want my nic name or initials tattooed on themselves.

Calling someone sweetie or baby sometimes as a term of affection is different than the person having a separate name given to them by their dominant as their "submissive name" which basically segments off their submission from them as a person.

I didn't know that, I like that song too! :)

And yeah, I don't have a "scene name" Never wanted or found a need for one.

I've had plenty of nicknames with partners, but those just come with time and experience together, just like vanillas.

I just used my middle name. It's more interesting than my first name: Peter.

What's in a name? A rose by any other name is still a rose.

Actually Vartan means rose in Armenian.

i have a name that i use for online that was given to me by my Daddy/Master and it's cherry because my favorite ice cream is cherry garcia and my Daddy thought it was cute.

However, he WILL NOT give me an actual slave name...which really disappointed me at first (i asked for that to be a collar-versary or Valentine's Day present but

)...i did get a great explanation for it though....i have spent most of my adult life going by a stage name as a dancer...always hiding who i actually am....so even though it is soooooo ultra uncomfortable for me to omeet someone and actually tell them my real name off the bat, Daddy feels like it will help me grow and be real.

Edited to add: The reason that i really really wanted a slave name was because it would be something that my Daddy had chosen for me....kind of like naming a pet or UM...

Not much consideration went into it.

"Curious": I'm typically curious about things well beyond most people consider normal, practical, or even healthy.

"Lord": I wanted my name to be clearly a "Master" name, for easy identifcation, and "Lord" is the Master-ish title I most identity with. I have a decent following of individuals who are loyal to me- so, I thought back to the fuedal lords.

I wouldn't worry too much about your name. Sure, it's important for appearances, but that's not something to worry about, in my book. And it's just a posting name on some website- don't let it change your identity.

You know for a group of people who are always spouting off things like "Your kink isn't my kink but they're both ok kinks."a lot of ya'll are certainly really good at putting this couple down for wanting something you guys don't necessarily want ... And you do it with such subtlety too ... Wow, I'm so impressed by how open minded and accepting you are of the thoughts and feelings of others.

*eye roll*

As to the OP, you might try looking at baby name websites. They've got some great suggestions and a lot of them include the meanings behind the names. Choose something that reflects what you mean to each other or something that reflects the "inner" you ...

Lets face it, when we were born our parents had no idea who we would become. They chose a name *they* liked ... That name may or may not have any meaning to the adult person we are now.

In many cultures a person's name is changed several times over the course of their life. They have thier childhood name, their adult name and that name might even be changed also when they accomplish something or have a signifigant change occur in their life.

edited to add

forsaken grace isn't my 'scene' or M/s name ... its my yahoo nick actually and I chose it when I was 19 so I've actually forgotten now all the reasons behind it ... I associate "Grace" with the grace of God and I think at that point in my life I was acknowledging a concious decision on my part to turn away from God ... I've since returned but the name still holds meaning for me ...

the name I usually use in the "scene" has been kitten ... But since there are *so* freakin many kittens out there ... I've recently changed to neko or neko shibari ... neko is Japanese for kitten and shibari is Japanese rope bondage ... so ... there you go ... tying up kittens ... or more specifically, tying up this kitten :)

Calling someone sweetie or baby sometimes as a term of affection is different than the person having a separate name given to them by their dominant as their "submissive name" which basically segments off their submission from them as a person.

I suppose that "name" means two entirely different things to us then, because I never would have my slave change his name or only call him that when I think of him as a slave versus a person...oh wait....He's always a person. He's always my slave. Yes...the names I give are pet names....just like my husband calls me "Babe". I also think of Native American Traditions of giving a Native name to someone. (Mine is "Purple Frog Woman"). There are so many facets of life where a name is given to someone as a sign of love, affection, status, growth, change....It isn't segmenting it is growth and symbolism.

This person came here to get help for a specific reason...why do those who oppose her need bother to respond? Why not let those who appreciate her need reply and those who are negative about it, find a thread that "fits their beliefs"

If her question had been "should we choose names?" then fine...give your opinion...but why try to hurt something that is obviously beautiful to them?

D~
