Question...if a girl rebrands herself, changes her name, photos, website, etc what is your opinion?

What if she is very forthright that she used to work under such and such a name and here are reviews, etc but that for whatever reason she decided to make a change? Would that make a difference to your opinion?

IMO, any business is built on reputation and repetition, and this is no different. It is hard to be found again if the name changes. Better to take use one's current reputation and, if rebranding means offering new services/menu, use it to their advantage in advertising.

If an sp "name" is built thru an agency naming system and promotion, then I believe the sp needs to create their indy persona. If they do this, it would be crazy not to use their past reputations from that agency in their advertising. Some who don't tend to look a little suspicious (or trying to hide something), IMO, when they don't admit to their connection to that mp or agency. (It would be better to say even "I used to be with X but am indy now"). Another exception might be that they had to shut down their site and advertising due to harrassment, and come back with a new persona for that reason.

As long as she's open about the fact that she used to go by a different name, I really don't see the problem.

I don't think your problem comes from the guys who know about you, follow you and manage to come across your explanation.

The problem is guys who understand the business who learn about your name change, but they don't hear about the reasons for you changing...the ones who casually come across you who may have given you a call, but discard you as a choice in their consideration because they'd rather not take a chance. Many guys assume that when you make a name change it is because you are attempting to escape/hide from a bad reputation. Women who name change are perceived as sketchy by many.

You may lose clients but you can never quantify how many. For those guys who know you it won't likely affect their perception.
Nah, I'm not planning on doing it, would be too weird to be called 2 different work names (new clients and old ones) but I did toy with the idea as I've been Katlyn since I was 18 and feel that she is a young version of me. I might do it if it weren't for how weird I'd feel being called 2 different names and being called a "new" name (afterall, being called Katlyn for 8 years means I don't really feel like it is a fake name). But overall was curious what the consensus is on ladies that do change up their identity.

Some women are forced to that because of stalking issues.
I've known a couple over the last couple of years who had to disappear, but then still needed the money. I know of one example of a lady who had to go as far as completely change her identity.

Of course, they needed to start anew. Since they were really good, didn't take them long to rebuild a reputation. Usually, they'd let their regulars know about the change.

All I have to say is: don't be afraid of rebranding, if that's something you really want to do.

I agree Katlyn is a more younger version of yourself; maybe change it to Katherine that sounds more sophisticated self image, if you ever decide it's time for a change. It wouldn't be a new name just a growth in your being a more elegant woman. Sorry, getting zen'ish on you.

I have always suspected that changing your name is a bit flakey. I include women who get married in this bit of personal prejudice.

Change, personal reinvention, personal growth, are all great if not unavoidable but the changes that count are not tied to your name and I suspect it would be a mistake to hope that changing your name will do much to change the things that matter.

At the same time I expect there can be good practical and emotional reasons to change your name. I am sure it is fun to consider in any case.

I think that it's generally considered suspicious if an escort changes her name.

However, I would highly recommend it in some cases! If an escort calls herself something silly like "Stacey Big Knockers" or "Chesty La Rou", then a re-branding and name change is in order :p

I think that in most cases, re-branding should be done with the image, not the name. For example, new photos, new website, new way of presenting oneself, etc.

Why not just go to Kate as the mature version of Katlyn. It's an easy transition requiring no explanations.

"branding"

re: branding
sorry, does this not apply to a cow? or someone/somebody from Surrey?

I was just joking - how can any of us provide decisions/comments on such a suggestion - when you have the ulitmate in falstivity? a.k.a. craigslist? "accurate photo" as one measure of that weakness? or "other ladies" which is the quintesential "sorry Joan isn't available, but Amy is", then in rolls a Hummer - a.k.a. High Mileage and smelly

Here are the problems, "Perbites" frequent "establishments" and provide in most cases - valued "auditorials" - granted some may be biased - infact many are.

The fact is - given a choice between a "massage" palor or "Micro" I feel safer than visiting a "craiglist" address and someone I don't know about

Getting back to the "name change" or "branding" - the only problem I see there is - that a photo certainly will circulate after a name change, that some has seen before, and instead of "Coco" it now says "lily" I now have a problem, see my point?
For whatever reason an SP decides to change their name, there is a point that they have chosen to do this, this comes under the usual "under new management" syndrome. If you want to change, why? Your change can be for only one reason and that reason is not as you should advertise.

Sorry "Perbites" this was 60 seconds of my 2 bits worth for you.

Abercrombie...I dunno, I think people can be honest about things and give honest reasons as to why they changed it. For instance if I started calling myself Stacey and then on my website had links to my reviews as Katlyn and said I changed my name because I'd been Katlyn since I was 18 and tired of it, that would be the honest truth. Not that I am going to go through the hassel of redoing a website, etc, it was a curious question is all.

I think that it's generally considered suspicious if an escort changes her name.

However, I would highly recommend it in some cases! If an escort calls herself something silly like "Stacey Big Knockers" or "Chesty La Rou", then a re-branding and name change is in order :p

haha I love those names! Why would she want to change? :confused:

;)

nah, even that is a pain in the ass...website, board handles, etc. I don't mind being Katlyn but had thought about this and wondered what people's opinions are.

Corporates re-brand all the time, why do Fido, Solo Mobile and Koodo exist? Because they allow their parent companies to keep their current image and customers but also pull in new demographics.

Fido = Roger's
Solo Mobile = Bell
Koodo Mobile = Telus
this is a good point...but I don't think a girl could keep both identities without really confusing people.

Question...if a girl rebrands herself, changes her name, photos, website, etc what is your opinion?
Along about the same as when a girl gets implants, uses a hair color not found in nature, overwhelms her appearance with body art, or has plastic surgery, etc.

You're obviously free to do as you like, but I don't want to pay for time spent with somebody who would make such choices.

(A possible exception (for example) is someone who previously marketed herself as "gothic Grace" or the like... and who then gets rid of her jet-black hair dye, and loses the all-black attire before opting to return to the mainstream with a different working name)

I have to admit I have always wondered if I'm thinking your name right...

Is it Kat-lyn (said like 'cat')
or is it Kate-lyn? .. If it's Kate, then you could easily just start calling yourself Kate as a previous poster mentioned..

Originally it was like Cat-lyn but I was on webcam and said my name outloud. When I came here 80% of people called me Kate-lyn so I just went with it :)
