I briefly mentioned in another thread that I think Michelle Thorne is the real name of that particular pornstar. Not many girls use the real surnames, sometimes both first and last names are not the real ones, and the reasons why intrigue me. Are we to think that girls who use their real names have parents, brothers and sisters, wider relatives, neighbours and friends, who are happy with them being a pornstar? Do the ones who use pretend names have relatives and friends that either aren't happy about it or don't know? The proportion of girls using their real names (first name and last) must be in a minority. Do people know the names of some, and why it is they were content to use the names that appear on their birth certificates and why other girls don't use their real names? (I'm enquiring just out of curiousity - thought this might make an interesting thread).

I have always used my real name and don't really have any issues.

The weirdest thing to happen was when my husbands friends started calling saying that they had seen me on Red Hot TV.

He gets turned on by it but his friends were unsure about asking if it was me or not.

I think its just a derigeur thing to do or part of the illusion or fantasy.

Its the Clarke Kent/ Superman thing. By day I'm just an average Joe Schmoe by night I'm Super Ho.

(Hey that rhymed)

Porn allows people to be something they strive to be in their everyday lives and gives them an excuse to indulge in the things that may not be so accessible in a social situation...Plus you get paid for it too.

Plus it defuses difficult questions from porn loving 14 year old sons who've just surfed the Net in a few years' time....

i also think it's a hang over from the early days of porn when using your real name could easily land you in jail. pseudonyms were a necessary part of the job that evolved along with porn to the point where they added mystery to the performers reputation. or summit like that.

I use my real name for porn, why did I decide to do that? Well honestly because it sounds like a porno name!
Honestly now I do regret that decision a little, only because it is my name and therefore whatever I am doing in my life, (even if its attending a pta meeting in 10 years time!) I will always be identifiable!
But it is a great fucking name for porn!
Luv Layla Jade xoxox

I think Layla Jade identifies the problem when she mentions PTA meetings; when girls go into porn they often don't think that far ahead and, whilst they may be happy to be known as a porn star, it is not fair on their kids and chances of a "normal" life after porn.

hi there i use my real why not anywhere it sounds like a porn name anyway lol x

My real name is average to say the least. Thats why i have an alter ego name. My name sounds like I should be a solicitor.

Some would say I already am.
