"My name is Nutso."
Just so you know, after a show, when people come up to my friend and me and ask a question about my "dummy," he hides his head and turns away.
I try to comfort him, then explain that he finds the term demeaning and cannot talk with them.
He prefers to be called by his name, or as a "vent figure".
If they say they are sorry, he brightens up and talks with them.
Even after a show, we stay in character.
The conversation often ends with a selfie, and sometimes, another booking.
If your culture is different, no problem.
