As was mentioned on Norman Whitfield's thread, Teddie and I are looking for a last name for our wonderful new singer, Heather.
Let me here 'em forum!

By Lynn Bruce (68.41.110.49) on Wednesday, March 24, 2004 - 01:17 pm:

Heather Blue-
It came to me last night while dreaming. True story Ralph.LOL

By Eli (68.236.53.71) on Wednesday, March 24, 2004 - 01:21 pm:

Heather Hill
Heather Hunt

I do like Lynn's idea too!

By KevGo (64.115.26.80) on Wednesday, March 24, 2004 - 01:54 pm:

What is Heather's last name? She should use that instead of coming up with a "stage name".

Nobody told the following to change theirs...
Barbara Acklin
Brenda Holloway
Alanis Morrissette
Avril Lavigne
Christina Aguilera
Phyllis Hyman
Jean Carne
Mary Travers

Kevin Goins - KevGo

By Tony Russi (68.18.228.45) on Wednesday, March 24, 2004 - 02:00 pm:

1)Heather Lynn 2)Heather Shore 3)Heather Marie 4)Heather Holly I thought Heather Hill sounded good.

By Ralph (209.240.205.62) on Wednesday, March 24, 2004 - 02:50 pm:

You guys are coming up with some good ideas. Keven..her last name won't work.

Man, you gus are killing me here! Great suggestions.
S.S. Heather Feather isn't entirely out of the question.

Just got off the phone with Teddie. We're going to call her later and have her stop by this thread to say hello.
She is a true sweetheart.

By Livonia Ken (136.2.1.153) on Wednesday, March 24, 2004 - 03:21 pm:

Ralph - Just to get back at Kevin for dissing your showbiz name search, you should go with Heather Goins.

Regards,
Ken

HI GUYS,,,,I AGREE WITH TONY, HEATHER HOLIDAY SOUNDS GREAT, AFTER I SAW THAT SUGGESTION I PUT MINE BACK IN THE BAG,,,,,,,,HUMMMMM, HEATHER HOLIDAY, NOW THAT HAS A RING TO IT

By Ralph (209.240.205.62) on Wednesday, March 24, 2004 - 03:57 pm:

Teddie will be at my house shortly. I will show him all these great names. Maybe we can string them all together into one long outrageous name.

By Ralph (209.240.205.62) on Wednesday, March 24, 2004 - 04:01 pm:

Hey Spyder and all...Teddie and I are kind of liking Heather Holiday, but this ain't over yet!

By KevGo (64.115.26.80) on Wednesday, March 24, 2004 - 04:03 pm:

Ken:
I was not "dissing" Ralph's name search...I was only asking a legit question. My brother Jesse is an actor and did not change the family name for show biz.

But to keep in the spirit of things, here are some suggestions...
Heather Williams
Heather Taylor
Heather White
Heather Wilson
Heather Jackson
Heather Houston (might as well until Whitney comes out of rehab....)
Heather Terrana (hey, I couldn't resist!)

I clicked into this thread because "Heather" is my wife's name �

"Heather Feather" and "Heatherfer" (which I call her when she calls me "Christopher" instead of just "Chris") are two goofy nicknames she's had. lol.....

Heather Hollywood
Heather Henderson
Heather "Hollywood" Henderson
Heather Ann
Heather Jones

By Ralph (209.240.205.62) on Wednesday, March 24, 2004 - 05:30 pm:

OK gang. Teddie and I are kind of zeroing in on either Heather Holiday or Heather Blue. Anyone want to make a case for either of these names? Teddie mentions that Heather Holiday reminds him of Billie Holiday, which ain't bad.

By KevGo (64.115.26.80) on Wednesday, March 24, 2004 - 05:32 pm:

You guys just won't give it a rest. I really think it is going to be Heather holiday, but I'm most appreciative for the contimuing submissions. Still trying to reach Heather to have her come on and say hello. Tomorrow Thom Ayers, the guitar wizard, blows in from San Francisco ( see final pic of Tera Shirma Story) to lay down the guitar tracks.Then we are ready to bring Heather in to do the leads.

By Juicefree20 (68.161.46.83) on Sunday, March 28, 2004 - 01:44 am:

Ralph, for some reason, Heather Hollister is singing to me. It just has a certain sound to it. If all else fails, Heather Juice, or Heather Free will work for me Seriously, there's something about Heather Hollister that's screaming "BUY MY RECORD" to me.

Juice

By Ralph (209.240.205.62) on Friday, April 02, 2004 - 05:21 pm:

Juice,
I appreciate the suggestion. I suppose this could work. We sort of decided on Holiday, but as Teddie and I always say, nothing is etched in stone. I just left a message for Heather to come on and say hello. I had gotten a call and she was having trouble finding the web-site. Once again, thank you everyone for all the great suggestions.

By Juicefree20 (68.161.24.39) on Friday, April 02, 2004 - 05:29 pm:

Hey Ralph, thanks much. The only reason why I'd go against Holiday is that I'd like to see Heather forge her own identity, as opposed to the image of Lady Day possibly overshadowing Heathers' potential legacy. Plus, it seems as though a few young ladies have adopted the "Holiday" surname. I wouldn't want her to seem like the next one in line. I'd like to see her become the FIRST Heather Hollister, Rivers, etc, than the NEXT Holiday, if you know what I mean. Other than that, Holiday is a most worthy name. I'd like very much to see her visit the site & a little picture preview here couldn't hurt.

Juice

By Ralph (209.240.205.62) on Friday, April 02, 2004 - 07:17 pm:

Juice,
I'm going to take what you say in consideration. You make some valid points.

By Soul Sister (65.43.144.46) on Friday, April 02, 2004 - 09:34 pm:

Ralph;
I had been thinking the same thing as Juice but held my tongue but now that its out there, I too thinks Billie's shoes are too big and Heather should be an original to shine for herself. Ok thats my two-cents for whatever thats worth.
Best of Luck on whatever name you chose!

Heather Hickkens

By Ralph (209.240.205.62) on Saturday, April 03, 2004 - 09:07 am:

Clay, my good friend. I might do well to listen carefully to the guy that named The Undisputed Truth. Considering how far we go back and have gone through together, who has my back more than you? Hmmm..Maybe Heather McMurray. kind of like naming your kid after your best friend.

By Vonnie (205.188.117.14) on Saturday, April 03, 2004 - 09:33 am:

Could there possibly be confusion with the name of Heather Holiday and Jennifer Holiday or even with Heather Headley?

Vonnie

By Ralph (209.240.205.62) on Saturday, April 03, 2004 - 10:17 am:

Maybe Vonnie. Heather comes into the studio tomorrow. I suppose she, Teddie and I will talk about this.

By Heather (209.240.205.62) on Sunday, April 04, 2004 - 05:54 pm:

Hi everybody,

Hey, thanks for the input for names, but it looks like we're taken it a different direction. What do you think about Taylor Rose?

I'm sitting here with Ralph and Teddie, and I guess this is my debut! We're working hard in the studio and appreciate your warm wishes. Thanks!

By Juicefree20 (141.149.53.204) on Sunday, April 04, 2004 - 06:52 pm:

Good evening Heather. This is Jice & it's very nice to have you here. Now Ralph must do an interview with you & upload your picture. We must have the initial "exclusive" with you. Have you decided on a musical style & direction as of yet? It's good to see you here & I wish you the best of everything & tremendous success! God bless!!

Juice

By Heather (209.240.205.62) on Sunday, April 04, 2004 - 07:01 pm:

Juice,

Thanks for the message. We're trying out many styles right now; just got out of the studio and finished "Those Eyes." We're all feeling really good about it! Ralph will keep you posted. He'll see that session pictures are posted soon. I guess from now on I'm going by Taylor Rose!

By Helene (217.32.166.37) on Sunday, April 04, 2004 - 08:20 pm:

Hi Heather,

best of luck for the future. Don't forget to let us know how you're doing!

By Juicefree20 (141.149.53.204) on Sunday, April 04, 2004 - 09:17 pm:

Well Ms Taylor Rose, I'll tell my friends to look out for a great new artist named Taylor Rose. Best wishes to you & as I've forgotten, what is you're home base? May God smile upon you & bless you with great success!

Juice

By Ralph (209.240.205.62) on Sunday, April 04, 2004 - 09:53 pm:

Heather ( ooops ) Taylor came into the studio today and lit it up. It took her a couple of run throughs to get comforable. Teddie and I are anything BUT intimidating in the studio, but we do know what we're looking for. Taylor needed very little directon and we pretty much gave her free rein on her performance.

Thank you for a very nice day in the studio Ms. Taylor Rose. You are a remarkeable talent.

By Juicefree20 (141.149.53.204) on Sunday, April 04, 2004 - 11:48 pm:

Ralph, I wish that I were a fly on the wall. Can't wait to hear the music.

Juice

By Ralph (209.240.205.62) on Monday, April 05, 2004 - 12:07 am:

Thanks Juice. We promised Taylor that we would do whatever we could to make something happen for her. She is a real sweetheart. We'll give it our best shot.

By Ralph (209.240.205.62) on Monday, April 05, 2004 - 03:16 pm:

DAMN!!..DAMN!!...DAMN!!!
I was going to take the session pics in to get developed today and for some reason the film jammed in the camera and I lost everything.

By drums (155.91.6.72) on Monday, April 05, 2004 - 03:22 pm:

Hi there Mr. Ralph!

I have a question.

What is her REAL last name?

I would just use that - unless it is a REALLY goofy name


If not, then:

Heather Ibo (There is a lady here with that last name, it is pronounced E-Bow!)

Anyway, that is my guess

Daren Metz

However, the name is officially Taylor Rose.

Taylor Rose,
Works for me.......Good choice................Peace
All the best on the project...I ca'nt wait to hear it.......Taylor sounds excited about working with you
Ralph and that's a good sign.

By Uptight! (69.161.239.218) on Tuesday, April 06, 2004 - 08:12 am:

"Ms Taylor Rose..." The name flows from one's lips. Very nice. Someone ought to design a new flower just for her publicity.

What's that you say Eli? lol

Wonder B

By Ralph (209.240.205.62) on Tuesday, April 06, 2004 - 11:06 am:

Clay,
Thanks for the good words. She is a producer's dream old friend. She is extremely focused in the studio and seems to know what she needs to do to get the song across.As I mentioned, Teddie and I didn't need to do a whole lot but make an occasional suggeston.

Chris,
Glad you approve of the name. I know you're a real smart guy, maybe you can include a little botany to your background and come up with that rose.

Wonder B,
Maybe Paulie can arrange security for Tatlor when she is on tour.

By Juicefree20 (68.161.20.57) on Thursday, April 08, 2004 - 12:49 am:

Hey Ralph, congrats on the name choice. I wish for Ms Taylor Rose all of the success in the world. Hey, don't make us New Yorkers wait too long to see Ms Rose! Here's wishing the best of everything for all of you!

Peace & God bless!

Juice
