The problem is 90% of guys don't put a name of any kind on the first message or text so we reply with some form of endearment.
I have no attachment to names if they are used they are still just clients and don't sross my emotional line however much I enjoy the meeting,
I have many men saved in my phone with the same name much more than is demographically or statistically normal a name is just that a name
An excellent point, Miss W.
Like some others who have posted on this thread, I sign every e-mail I send an Adult Work escort with my – real – name. (There must be thousands of men called Aloysius in the Portsmouth area, so no-one's ever going to identify me.)
I help an escort whom I've known for some years with her AW profile, and it staggers me that – as Miss W indicates – almost no punters sign off their e-mails with a name. (Although I prefer to use my real name, an adopted punting name of course does just as well.)
Giving a name personalises the exchange, and it's a small courtesy. Buying a girl's body isn't the same as buying a sack of spuds.
Sadly, however, I have to report that, although I sign my name, it's exceptionally rare for escorts then to use it in their replies.
What's good for the gander is good for the goose!
