Why do so many pornstresses choose the last name "Lynn"? Ginger Lynn Amber Lynn Porsche Lynn Tiana Lynn etc. etc. Is there something inherent in the name Lynn that makes it a good porn name?

It became synonymous with hot "it" women so it became the popular name to use. I mean how many "Lynn"'s have been outright ugly or horrid. So girls come along and they or companies figure Lynn as a last name will grab peoples attention. That people will associate her with the long line of good Lynn's. "Her last name is Lynn? Damn she must be hot." That's how I see it anyway.
Same reason there are so many Jenna's, and Brianna's, and Amber's, and Jolie's, and Starr's, and... you get the idea: they want you to associate them with another porn star, celebrity, etc. who is already big, so that hopefully you'll automatically have it in your head that they're sexy even before you've really seen them in anything. Example: It's 2005. You used to watch a lot of Vivid stuff, but now you're trying to check out a lot more gonzo titles. You're looking through tons of names in a list of porn girls or porn titles or galleries on a webpage or whatever, most of which you don't know. But then one name pops out at you because it seems kind of familiar. You don't know exactly where you've seen it before, but at least it's something, so you click on it. A picture of Brianna Love pops up on screen, and you fall in love. You probably clicked on her name because you used to watch Briana Banks a few years earlier, but you weren't really thinking of that when you were scrolling through the thousands of names on the webpage. You just clicked. That's often how it works, and that's why they do it. Of course, the flipside is that if you choose a name that's too familiar, people might not be able to remember you. Like Jenna Presley. There were already a few Jenna's and at least one Presley when she came along, and I had a tough time for a while matching her name with her face.
"Lynn, Lynn: the city of sin. You never come out, the way you went in." (For those of you familiar with the Boston area. . .) But seriously, rhyming with "sin" might have had something to do with it.
Its the same thing with the Asian crowd using the surname Lee, Lei, etc...I mean yeah, there are alot of Asians in this country with that name - but come on, already, the name recognition factor has become a name confusion factor! but I still adore Kaiya Lynn...at least its not Kaiya Lee! "I like to watch"

Isn't Ginger Lynn Allen her real name? I thought I read that somewhere.
Sadly I came way to late to the alexa lynn show. She must be retired long since. Somewhere it said 2011? I must've really visited the wrong sites. She's also one of my all time favs.
