Four if you count the sock puppets...

What I've learned on DCUM is that every name is a stripper name, except Elizabeth.

And Caroline.

You're pissed more posters didn't agree huh?

I wonder if you're the same person from the Ivy thread years back... I said I had a college friend Ivy and everyone loved it and you (?) were like, "Guarantee all the guys made fun of her behind her back!!!" I was like uh, no. So weird!!!

There really are multiple people who think this is a stripper name. I just asked my husband the first thing that came to mind and guess what? Stripper. He then had a dandy time imagining that she would be a red head... and then I stopped his train of thought.

Oh really. What did you ask him? "Do you think Ivy is a stripper name?"

I like Ivy but not Ivy Rae. Ivy Blake isn't terrible. Maybe a middle name that ends in a?

I love it! Definitely needs a feminine middle name starting with a vowel:

Ivy Olivia
Ivy Alexa
Ivy Alexandria
Ivy Elizabeth
Ivy Amelia
Etc

Oh, god lord, on DCUM every name other than Elizabeth or Eleanor is a stripper name. Most strippers have stage names, ladies. Real white trash and/or blue collar names, like Ruby, Jade, Amber, Sheila, are really what you are thinking of. Ivy is cute. It is a pretty name. Don't look for opinions here.

Not so sure I agree about the vowel thing. The first name shouldn't end with the same sound that the middle name starts with. Ivy Elizabeth is really awkward to say. I'd avoid any middle name that starts with a long E sound.

Every name under the sun subjects a kid to teasing at some point. Really not a valid objection.

NP. Clearly some names are much more tease-worthy than others. The PP's point is valid but, with that said, I disagree that Ivy is particularly problematic.

I said, "What comes to mind when I say the name Ivy?"

Dang he must go to some high-end strip clubs! Most of the girls I have run across are called Sunshine or Destiny or some such.
