shailen Member 74 Posts 9/01	Posted - Aug 17 2003 : 10:44PM I have always been interested in knowing as to how stars get their stage names. Is there a particular reason some people choose particular names i.e: sounds close to a mainstream actor. also in the past and present there have been some ridiculous names taken up. I'd be interested in knowing how names are chosen and what are some of the most stupid names in the business. [Link]
oreb Member 92 Posts 6/03	Posted - Aug 18 2003 : 3:21AM I always heard you used your first pet's name as the first name and your mother's maiden name for the last. This is only a joke, pretty funny to find out everyone's "porn name" at a party. [Link]
HoldenMagroin Member Baking in the California Heat 122 Posts 2/03	Posted - Aug 18 2003 : 12:27PM You mean those aren't their real names??? [cf] No wonder I can't find any of them in the phone book.

YogaGrrl self-removed user 757 Posts 12/01	Posted - Aug 18 2003 : 1:39PM I'm sure there are as nearly as many stories as there are performers. We've done the "childhood pet/first name" and "street you grew up on/last name" game here at the forums in the past. And some actresses, like Ginger Lynn and Julia Ann, actually use their real first and middle names. One of my favorites is Georgina Spelvin, who performed in the Golden Age of Porn. George/Georgina Spelvin is a name that legitimate stage actors would traditionally adopt when they didn't care to be recognized. Sometimes they were well-known actors playing a role so small that it might be an embarrassment, and sometimes they were union actors working in a non-union theater. Georgina chose her porn name as kind of a nifty little inside joke. [Link]

Kimi Lixx Senior Member 2012 Posts 6/01	Posted - Aug 18 2003 : 1:41PM One method mentioned to me was to take your First pet's name and the name of the First street you lived on. There are also methods that involve favorite colors, season of the year you start working in, and a bunch of other silly stuff. I came up with some mighty odd names using some of those methods, but Zelda Broadway was my favorite. [Link]
Sir Noel Plum Senior Studmuffin 1001 Posts 2/03	Posted - Aug 18 2003 : 3:48PM Shailen is quite right though. Why oh why do these porn stars insist on using these ridiculous sounding names, why not just use their real names or at least come up with something plausible sounding! It really is buffoonery of the highest order and perhaps they should start acting their age for once! Yours, Sir Noel Plum. [Link]

Not many like yellow, orange, burgundy, beige, mauve, ... (What the hell are you talking about, Walter.

Why use ridiculous names? Well, I suppose they think the names are clever and funny. If memory serves, methinks they are acting their age. [Link]
Kimi Lixx Senior Member 2012 Posts 6/01	Posted - Aug 18 2003 : 11:44PM Well, sometimes you don't think about it much beforehand. Having been in the World Modeling office more than once when a new girl was signing up I have seen this. They ask her, "...and what name do you want to use when you perform?", and you see this horrified look come across her face - She Has Never Thought Of This! Then there are the dancers who want to use the same stage name they've always danced with - never occurs to them that 50 other Diamonds have walked in during the past month. Then there are those of us who think we have a cute thing. Like me, I danced with Candi Kiss and we had so much fun signing things Lixx & Kisses from Kimi and Candi! - Yeah, great, three months after I started performing she quit!! Rather than change my name, I decided to keep it, fine, whatever! SOOOO I have a goofy porn name that certainly isn't what I would have chosen if I had a clue when I started. On the other hand, Playboy did list my name as one of their favorites! Edited by - KimiLixx on 8/19/2003 2:24:24 AM [Link]

I got the name Skeeter when I was a little baby from my mom and grandpa when I was about 2 weeks old. Bridgette came up with her name when we were driving around.
