drag name

Performer's alternate identity

A drag name is the stage name adopted by a drag performer—typically a man performing as a woman, though the term applies across gender presentations.

Drag names are often flamboyant, punning, or suggestive: Her drag name is Anita Cocktail.

Many performers craft names that sound like real women's names when said quickly but reveal double meanings: Ida Slapter, Amanda Hugginkiss.
