Lovely picture at the bottom - I love how the red rose makes the red lipstick pop. Do you have any element you'd like to use in your pinup name, such as your real name or something that you think reflects your look or personality?

 

[therizyflapper]

hmmmmmmm well my name is Alicia and I'm Italian and very proud haha and I'm very into being classy yet seductive/sensual and I consider myself a flapper at heart like I swear I should have been born in the 1920's, and my Inspiration is the beautiful Clara Bow hahaha idk if that helps but hahaha and thank you soooo much hehe I'm really very flattered you liked that picture and anything helps haha iv never really been good at thinking of nicknames hahaha

Clarine Rose (a play on the name of silent actress Clarine Seymour and the word "Rose" is very 20s to me)

Billie Robbins (a play on the name of actress Billie Dove)

Billie Faye (sounds 20s)

Norma Naldi (a play on Norma Shearer and Nita Naldi)

Mary Manners

If I think of more I'll be back....

From my list, Norma Naldi sounds Italian. Norma evokes the "girl next door" of the era while Naldi evokes a vampy, sensual quality.

First names that were common during that time were Margaret, Virginia, Doris, Norma, Ruth, and Helen -- just open up any high school yearbook and these are the names of all the girls lol

If Norma is not right, try this list of names:

How about Alicia Di Giaconda? A homage to the Mona Lisa (aka La Giaconda), and besides, it also means Joyful.

oh that is very lovely! I'm definitely keeping this one in mind! would you have any ideas on putting together Alicia and rose together but more well sensual and in Italian haha i really love the name rose and my name is Alicia but just plain old Alicia Rose sounds too drab to me hahaha it need more Ritz haha any ideas? thank you so much for you help!! I truly am grateful for the help!

 

[therizyflapper]

So if anyone can help me with with the name combination Alicia rose but classy yet sensual and exotic, i will be so grateful! and plz do tell me if you come up with different and better combinations hahaha i really cant thank you all enough for helping me you all are really amazing people!

If you'd like your name to have an Italian inflection and to contain 'rose', how about Rosa? Rosa Naldi, for example?
It won't be the typical modern pin-up name, but I have a feeling you don't want conventional

Or Rosa Savoia. It has a sort of aristocratic ring to it.
