I'm curious to know how some of today's directors came up with their names - obviously, some of them are carryovers from their actor screennames.
I'd love to hear some of our favorite directors chime in and give us some feedback on this.

In the meantime, I invite any guesses. Here are some of mine:

* Brandon Iron - A carryover of Brandon's screenname. I assume it's a take off on a "branding iron"
* Jules Jordan - This almost sounds like a real name, but it probably isn't. My best guess is that it has something to do with the family "jules"?
* Mike John - One of the more generic non-descript names, and therefore one of the most curious. Wonder if Mike considers himself a "john" in the traditional sense?
* Vince Vouyer - A take-off on the spelling of "voyeur", probably?
* John Dough - Most likely a take-off on "john doe"
* Lexington Steele - Again, a carryover from Lex's screenname. I'll bet it's a take-off on "Remington Steel". Or maybe it's a Superman reference - The "Man of Steele"?
* Jewel D'Nyle - Jewel of the Nile?
* Mark Wood - A humorous reference to wood - presumably one of the stronger woods!?

Enjoy!

Good question DenverDon - wonder if it's some obscure astronomical reference? Also, wasn't there some old television ad (we're talking late 60s early 70s) promoting some brand of television called Quasar? I don't think Mike Quasar is old enough to even remember it though!

It's a very long and boring story but it did involve being extremely drunk in a fleabag motel with a "Quasar" TV on the wall. I agree that it is the most idiotic name in porn even though I had it many years before porn :)

Then again, there's my more serious "Mike Quasar" label. Equally as stupid but at least it sounds like a name.

I can't believe I got this one right! I actually think it's a pretty cool name. Now every time I read one of you posts, I'm going to hear that stupid theme song.

Thanks for the feedback!
