I’d suggest Jasmine Guy, but you’d probably get sued. (My drag-queen name would be Lily Cape May, which has a certain _je ne sai quoi_, don’t you think?) ---

I dunno if Eve’s generator is all that effective. Mine would be Tulip Epcot, which sounds more like a character in a William Gibson novel than a drag queen. (The pet name + street name, Pepper Meadowbrook in my case, works much better). ---

Jasmine St. Croix has a nice exotic ring to it. Jasmine Sombria. Jasmine Acertija. I don’t have the legs for drag, but my drag name would be Orchid Last. My porn name would be Boots Price. Which sounds like a jazz musician or a professional gambler. ---

As for Tulip Epcot, you could be a drag queen **in** a William Gibson novel. It’s no worse than J.D. Shapely. ---

Candy Darling isn’t being used just now. Just throw a Jasmine in front of it and bada bee bada bing. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by widdershins \* > \*\* > I don’t have the legs for drag… \*\* I do, but most of the drag queens around here are ‘large women’… so to speak. I do envy the larger drag queens in some respects, because they tend to pass better… hidden adam’s apple, realistic cleavage, etc… Jasmine St. Croix: I like 🙂 ---

Jasmine Honey Jasmine Japonica Jasmine Tuberose 😃 Hey…just stream of consciousness… Funny, when I saw your opening title, I thought immediately of Blanche. ---

It doesn’t start w/ Jasmine, but I had to stop by and mention my fave, Lois Carmen DeNominator. ---

I’ve got nothing to add for Jasmine, but I think “Dot Com” would be a good one. ---

Can’t help you with “Jasmine,” but an old friend from college days used the name “Visa Deklined,” which I always thought was comic genius. And I’ve been waiting for years for an opportunity to tell somone. ---

**gobear** -_Oddly, my porn name (first pet + first street you lived on) works much better–Lavinia Woodbine._ I like that, same formula gives me Snag Colman. Ummm… **Jasmine Bleach** (clever celebrity reference) **Jasmine Oleaceae** (actual latin family name of jasmine plant; hey you are a Doper drag queen) ---

If Jasmine is okay as a middle name… Wenda Jasmine Stestifyin? Hey, it’s got a musical \* and \* Simpsons reference in it. I can’t have a drag name (no resort or flower), but my porn name is simply awful: Ciji Michel Delving. (When I was little, I lived in a neighborhood called The Shire.) It’s the drag/porn name for the Lord of the Rings fan! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/help-me-pick-a-drag-name/161415.md?page=1)
