If you keep coming up with names that starts with 'J' or ends with 'Haze' nobody will ever know where to find you, or you will be overlooked in favor of the other 43 girls named 'missy' or 'amber', cherry', 'melody', 'hillary', 'sasha', 'angelina' or some other version of the same name that's been out for years.
Do try to come up with something original that would bring you up first in a Google search or in an online video store.
Thanks.

Some truth to what you are saying, a lack of originality in screen names which goes back to the lack of creativity by today's director.
The most unique name which is easy to remember and not to be confused with anyone is Genie Onyx. Don't ask me how they came up with that name. At least I don't confuse her with anyone else.

I think Lorelei Lee is a name that stands out. Kimi Lixx and Zana were others that stood out in a search. Of course Dana DeArmond also stands out (you can argue whether her using that name was safe or not in another thread). Surprisingly there aren't too many Ninas out there either, so if you do a search for Nina Hartley there isn't too much riffraff showing up in your search.
Names that do not stand out: Chloe (there must be ten of them now), Madison (there are a few), Claire (only one now but that could change in a hot minute), Nikki (again, there are more than a few in searches).

This is way worse in Europe , many stars (or their agents) not only show a lack of fantasy but also don't use a surname , in addition many of them almost change name at every movie.
So we have a number of Camilla , a number of Jennifer , Olga, Sasha it's very difficult to track them down until they shoot for some American production at this point their names seem to remain that way
It seem to me to be stupid you can't determine their value as performers you cannot understand which actress actually raises requests , also there might be some fans of a particular performer which might want to collect the most part of her works but not only they have hard times doing researches but also can't get her complete filmography

From Fame Registry's Top 100. Their methodology is suspect but I think we can all agree that the top twenty have/had very successful porn careers.
1.Jenna Haze (Last Month # 1)
2.Jesse Jane (Last Month # 2)
3.Sunny Leone (Last Month # 3)
4.Sara Jay (Last Month # 4)
5.Lisa Ann (Last Month # 5)
6.Tori Black (Last Month # 6)
7.Sasha Grey (Last Month # 8)
8.Nikki Benz (Last Month # 7)
9.Nina Mercedez (Last Month # 9)
10.Sunny Lane (Last Month # 14)
11.Vicky Vette (Last Month # 10)
12.Gina Lynn (Last Month # 12)
13.Puma Swede (Last Month # 11)
14.Belladonna (Last Month # 13)
15.Flower Tucci (Last Month # 20)
16.Bree Olson (Last Month # 15)
17.Kayden Kross (Last Month # 16)
18.Alexis Texas (Last Month # 18)
19.Lela Star (Last Month # 22)
20.Teagan Presley (Last
Notice the lack of xxx and sexual double entendres in their names. They are mostly fairly regular names but not too common. I think picking a bad name can have a huge negative impact on a career although having a good one is not going to insure success. You want:
1)A non-porny name.
2)A name that does not seem weird but is not too common.
3)A name that is not to close to many other pornstars to help you stand out in searches.

1000% true and part of the reason I made this thread. I love a lot of the foreign girls but it's nigh-impossible to track them down because they never use the same name twice and the name is always a name somebody else is using. In America the names have become so routine that it's always something somebody else has used before, thus when you search the performer out it's always somebody else from the early 90's. Performers seem to have no imagination. Either use a totally unique first or last name (preferably both) or risk getting lumped in with the crowd and nobody wanting to go through the trouble of finding and buying your works.

As if the porn quality is the USA has descended to such low depths that it is reaching unwatchable levels, the European porn has dropped even further. Among the best porn I have seen were European products from the late 70s. Today they produce utter crap and focus on Eastern European Girls rather than Western European girls and they are considerably less attractive from Eastern Europe.
No loss there, could care less who the girls are from Eastern Europe.
That is their source of girls and their source stinks.

So I'm supposed to have the same taste in girls that you do? European porn from the 70s decade did NOT have Eastern European girls. They came from Western Europe and were far more attractive than the girls today who come predominately from Eastern Europe and former Soviet Union/Russian states.

You may not like eastern Europeans girl but to define their work as crap is far more than an exaggeration
and by the way Olinka was Czech , Color Climax' Star Anna Marek was Polski just to name a couple Cicciolina is Hungarian although most of her career weas in the 80s

Porn girls need to take a lesson from African-Americans in the name uniqueness department.

LCF: I'm not sure what you mean. I'm talking about the trend in the US for new African-American parents to come up with totally new names for our children. Usually mixing something French-sounding with something Arabic-sounding. Just suggesting to pornstars that they maybe use a similar system to come up with names that are unique.
