I went through this last year, and it's the hardest part of all. There are old pageant names that aren't being used any more - look into that for one thing. Use America, National, and prestigious words. Stay away from fantasy words that seem like kiddie titles. Don't want to trash, but I don't care to walk around in a sash that says I"m a Dream or a Conservative, or Royal Exquisite Elite Universal Classic Woman of the Year. Choose carefully, cause your queens walk around in these things! People make fun. There are old ones like American Queen, National Mrs, America's Woman of the Year, stuff that isn't so fruity. And SIMPLE. -- New Unofficial La La Pageantry Forum

In reply to: Future Pageant Owner 's message, "Any ideas as far as names for the pageant itself? I am having the hardest time thinking of one that isn't already taken, or that doesn't sound silly. Any input would be greatly appreciated, as I'm at my wit's end trying to figure this one part out!" on 14:04:00 07/05/12 Thu

I agree with you. National Ms/Mrs. is one I've been thinking about. I like American Queen, I hadn't come across that one in my research. I'll look more into that one. Thanks for the input! (NT) Future Pageant Owner 07:40:10 07/06/12 Fri

Be careful with "National Mrs"---there was a very well respected National Mrs pageant several years ago that went bust, it had great potential. I *think* the original owner still holds the trademark on it, but I am not sure....I can't remember who the 2 owners were, I think one sold out her share to the other (?)-someone help me out here on this one (NT) -- No Name, 13:06:28 07/06/12 Fri

I think that National Mrs. was held twice a few years ago. First year was great, second year a lot of complaints, and no third year. Sherry Strother (s?) was the remaining owner. (NT) -- What I remember, 09:17:39 07/08/12 Sun

yes, Sherri ran it and bailed out the co owner to save the integrity of the pageant. It was Djuana Stump. It's truly a shame. They really put on a show the first year, spent a ton of money to hype it and treat the girls right. It was quite nice, but whatever happened internally killed it off. I'm sure it's defunct. (NT) -- maybe a lesson in there somewhere for you, 10:40:25 07/08/12 Sun

Sherri, that is who I was thinking of...I wonder if the trademark is still around, even though the pageant is defunct (NT) -- No Name, 18:06:50 07/08/12 Sun

and the AQ lady seems to be holding on to it. If I"m not mistaken, she is ill or has some issue where she's waiting it out. Sherry is on Facebook if you want to write her. -- trying to help, 02:25:31 07/09/12 Mon

I think the lady that owns AQ is in Georgia somewhere (??) (NT) -- No Name, 18:33:39 07/11/12 Wed

I think the lady in GA was just running AQ. (NT) -- I think the Wallace's still own it., 03:52:43 07/15/12 Sun
