Why do the girls have so many pseudonyms?

But I will also add, at the same time, if we watch normal films for their entertainment value, and then find actors or actresses we enjoy so much we want to see more of their movies (or musicians and music), in a number of ways (other than yes the stigma they may receive in their own lives, but when most of us are looking at porn I'm sure I'm not just speaking for myself when I say the last thing on our minds is worrying about whether her granny knows she does, say, cock 'n' ball torture) this is no different.
The adult website users will want to see more of a girl they like online, the way she carries herself, the kind of 'roles' she tends to adopt, the markets she caters for, the way she acts on camera etc. so obviously it is only a natural human response to feel -
"I want to see more of her... but I don't know what she's called. Let's see what else she's done. *HOURS LATER* Oh great she's called at least 12 things across dozens of different niche and fetish websites - and now my desire for a wank is going to take more clue-finding than a Famous Five novel".

It's just frustrating having to research and puzzle-solve so much that I'm having to plan my future wanks haha.

When they're a bigger name later in the game, it's then I find it a curious choice


The reason why some may do not exploit a name change could be down to the fact the owner of the content doesnt keep up with current events to know or simply just goes with the stage name put down on the model release as it is on the 2257 documentation.

To move from that can be be legally actionable but I seriously doubt many models would actually pay a lawyer to make that point...although one did threaten me and did get a lawyer to shut me down

She lost of course. Waste of money. Silly her

I would always advise a girl to take on a pseudonym, for the following reasons:
1. To create a marketable, memorable & professional image/persona that is separate from her non-porn life. (This also potentially helps when a girl explains to her partner that she is err, Lolly Lickcock at work but Sue Smith at home.)

2. To make a stab at some anonymity. Why so many on here think that opening up on camera means that the rest of their lives should also be open access if beyond me.

If it's good enough for Reg Dwight and Harry Webb, it's good enough for me.

Jamesr, I do hope you do not misunderstand my curiosity on this matter. It's not that I wish to know the ins and outs of their personal lives (I'm not looking for real names for example) or am blinded to the realities of how this would impact them once off camera, my curiosity on the subject was solely on girls who have already made a quite noticeable name for themselves in the industry to the point whereby they probably have a personal site and be a known face across several others, but then go by additional pseudonyms on other sites that don't really stray from what she's known for.

Again I can totally understand it if they do something *really* extreme on one site that they perhaps don't want associated with anything else they do - if they're Lucy Clunge on a bunch of lesbian sites but Eva Brown on Scatman Ron's Slimy House of Turds, then ya know, totally understand. But it's when they're Linda Gusset (with perhaps a slight variation here and there) on say, a foot fetish site, a dogging site and a cock 'n' ball torture site... why be Amanda McTossoff on spanking site or femdom wrestling site, is anyone really marking off browny points for subject matter there "well you stamp on bollocks and that's cool, but the moment you crossed into non-nude wrestling, totally not cool".

So as a real-life example, why would Danica Collins of all people have gone by Deena (not even Donna like she usually once would have) on Aunt Judy's, just for a solo strip, whilst she's happy to go by her own main name on FemDom material at Lady Sonia? The same goes for RedXXX who was Rita on that same site (often called Karen in her earlier stuff) where again all she's doing is a bit of stripping and straight forward solo play, yet she'll get rodgered by a robotic dildo machine, dominate and titwank men and fuck her high heel on Lady Sonia under her more famous name, RedXXX? THAT's specifically the kind of thing I was referring to.
Or of course Clair Lou (I'll stop bringing her up, I promise, she just gets me fookin rigid haha) going by multiple variations of Claire-Louise here and there, but being Tam Tam South for her own personal Clips4Sale piss clips and Shelley on Sneakpee (so you might think "ok, she doesn't want wee being what she's known for")... but then happy to be Clair Lou again for Wetting Her Panties; it's all the same subject matter so why have three names for the same fetish material? That's what I was curious about.

"To make a stab at some anonymity. Why so many on here think that opening up on camera means that the rest of their lives should also be open access if beyond me."

There's no anonymity.

What today is being done by fans trying to figure out every alias of a certain girl, will, thanks to advances in facial recognition, soon be automated. And automated searches will not only find the girl's other aliases but also her real facebook account, images taken by friends, etc.

If a nude/porn model/actress wants to have anonymity, then she can't have a real life online or have her friends upload photos of her.

There are very good reason why this occurs. However, due a particular rule governing this forum we/I am forbidden to elaborate further or to give a satisfactory reason.

I you wish to discover the reason(s) then I suggest you ask this question on another forum that does permit discussions on this activity.
