In a buisness that attracts stalkers, I can't imagine why women would now use their real names. Most of the ones listed started in the '80s and early '90s when people weren't so concerned about that. Well, in the case of Janine she was in Penthouse .

How about Teri Weigel? She started in Playboy . Do they use real names?

it says on IMDB.com Diane Hurley

Heather Hunter...it's her real birth name.

Patrick Collins...I think his real name is Roscoe Bowltree according to the 1997 edition of Adam Film World Adult Video Guide.

Leslie Bovee seems to be her real name

Kay Parker...her birth name is Kay Taylor...but has an aka as Kay Taylor Parker which we can assume is an earlier married name she just didn't get rid of. Hedda Hopper comes to mind. Kept her ex husband's surname long after they divorced.

I was surprised to read Brianna Banks' real name is Diana.

I overheard both in the backgrounds of behind the scenes extras on DVDs. :)

At Erotica L.A. I caught wind of Stormy's real first name:

But...being that I stand a good chance of meeting Stormy (possibly privately) at January's AVN's through my cousin's friend...I don't wanna run the risk of pissing her off, so I think i'll keep that under wraps until she gives the OK.

Television executive Brandon Tartikoff said something brilliant about how fans are more prone to approach stars they see on TV because TV is present in the home, unlike film, and a 27 inch screen shows the person's head at almost life size.

Porn, I suspect, would be even more dangerous because like it or not, for some people there is a false sense of intimacy that comes from watching someone have sex. They feel a sense of 'ownership' that doesn't really exist, and when that gets flustered, sometimes people get deranged. I don't want my friends hurt. Hence I cringe anytime I see a real name, so I get where Mark Davis is coming from.

This is not to say I don't comprehend why someone would pursue an adult actress. I'd actually love to date one - not just have sex with, but date. I've known a few, and I like their pragmatism, their honesty - if you really get to know them - and their humor. Porn girls are often hilarious. There's also the fact that jealousy is pretty much short-circuited; one shouldn't worry about her cheating if one accepts the fact she's going to have sex with other people: If she's got a 2 p.m. shoot Tuesday with Peter North and a 4 p.m. Friday shoot with Mr. Marcus and Mandingo, you know she's getting laid but it's also work. There's an honesty there that can make a love affair transcend a lot of the BS that sometimes sinks them. But pragmatically, not many actresses I know don't have boyfriends or girlfriends - and they all get hit on all the time...so I can't say I've ever tried to ask one out. If my one friend ever breaks up with her current boyfriend, I might...but that could seem weird. I try to think of her, too...and that, I guess is what I'd ask of people on this board:

Just because you can do something, doesn't mean it's right to do something. Porn people have families, friends and loved ones who care for them. Publishing their real names -even if they can be found easily - can be the first step for some crazed stalker to track them down and harm them. And if you find actress Amber X. Ginger sexy, for example, and love her movies - you're not doing her or yourself any good if you provide some crazed psycho with the means to harm her. That may mean no more films from her, and far LESS contact with all fans...but most important, you may be harming and altering irrevocably a human being.

So let's be careful - and think - out there.
