This is by no means meant to be an insult to any member here, but have any of you ever notice that dominants don't seem to be very original when it comes to naming their submissives?

I have noticed, while lurking about online, that many dominants tend to name their submissives/slaves one of the following names:

angel - how terribly original; alas, even I had an angel once. Well, technically, still do, just don't call her angel unless I want something.

kitten (or kittie or some other cat reference) - again, very original; only about 19,000 people have come up with this one. Although, again, even I had a kitten once. She passed away about three months ago from complications resulting from cancer.

little one (or littleone) - hey, at least some people thought originally enough to make it a one word name, instead of two, but still show some initiative.

sunshine (or sunny or other glowing ball of fire references) - at one point in time, the Basement at AFF had no less than four sunshines running about. It got to be a little ridiculous trying to keep up with them all. I say go the opposite way, name your submissive moon crystal; then move to a commune, smoke some weed and wear tye-dye a lot.

slut (painslut, cumslut, blah blah blah, yackity schmackity) - omg, you must be joking. Who would have ever thought to call a submissive "slut?" Probably the same kind of people that name their dogs "pooch."

girl (et. al.) - see slut



Why not try to show some originality when naming one's submissive/slave? Why not interesting shit like "evil bitch" or "asking for trouble?" In my notorious online stint, I have had an "evil," a "devil," and a "trying one." I also tend to get bored with stuff pretty quickly and like to change things fairly often to break up the monotony. Anyone that's been here long enough to see my avatars and signatures change knows this already. I also tend to rename submissives every year or so just to keep people on their toes and to make people wonder what the hell happened.

Oh right... Let's not forget the most original, or at least at the time, name I (or possibly someone I knew) came up with, to date: pookie. I still get a chuckle at that one.

I also say go for description. Name your slut "smartass" for awhile. Be sure to call her that in public. Note the looks you get from people when you beckon, "Come here, smartass!" and she walks meekly to you, head down. Perhaps "bitch" would also work in that example as well, unless you happen to be in a store with militant feminists, then you might get a combat boot up your ass and your wonderful slut might get lesbianized by the right-wing female militia.

Maybe food would be good things to name your slut. How about "milk and cookies" if you have a pair? That would especially work if they are of differing ethnicities. Maybe even "mountain dew." I do not mean to name her after a nasty, neon green soft drink, but reather the gentle dew drops that grow on the flowers and trees in the mountains. Nah. Still sounds like hippie commune shit to me. Oh! And for Pete's sake (whoever Pete is), stay away from "honey." There's another radically overused name that should have been up on my list. Oh well. Even I forget things.

Anyway, think about this the next time you pick up a new submissive or slave or the next time you decide to accept a collar. Show some imagination and originality. Name them well.
