I have been wondering for years now why pornstars sometimes have more than one name? Is there a cross reference somewhere? I find that sometimes this can be confusing, and I'm just looking for any ideas on this.

If you are referring to the varied spelling, my guess is that's mostly the fault of indifferent copy editors. If you are referring to completely different names, I suppose it's because those performers aren't thinking about porn as a career where they want to build up a fan base. Also, some studios want to sell gals as new discoveries, so they'll put whatever name they want to on the boxcover. Internet sites are even worse offenders in that regard.
The IAFD, EGAFD and the EurobabeIndex include known aliases that performers have been listed as.

I think part of it too is sometimes a performer picks a name to start with, and then gets a new agent or studio that decides the name isn't glamorous or memorable enough.
I have a Tera Patrick movie titled Blind Date where she's identified as Sadie Jordan. I also have another of her movies, Caribbean Undercover, where her name is spelled "Tara". Who knows?
