There are several types of porn name, all of them part of our nation’s rich pornographic tapestry.
There’s the 50′s stripper holdover (Christy Canyon, Kayla Cupcakes, Pamela Peaks), the street/pet variant (Bobby Rinaldi, Topanga Fox, Jayna Oso), porn names given simultaneously to the newborns of unsuspecting parents with at most a year of college (Jayden Jaymes, Kagney Linn Karter, Kayden Kross, Tanner Mayes), the alliterative classic (Jesse Jane, Jenna Jameson, Tina Tyler, Kimberly Kane), the Cher (Belladonna, Stoya, Katsuni), the traffic jam (Aiden Starr, Bobbi Starr, Lela Star, Celeste Star, Jade Starr, the Tiffanies Mynx, Granath, Taylor, the Jennas Presley and Haze), the feminine (Ava and Mia Rose, Flower Tucci, April Flores), the phallic (Randy Spears, Lexington Steele, Eric Everhard, Katie Cox), the ridiculous (Arnold Shwarzenpecker, Strokahontas, Suckable), and the so similar to a real name that in some cases it actually is (Dana DeArmond, Nina Hartley, Alix Lakehurst).
Today I came across (not literally) Miss Aileen Ghettman, a Score favorite from Marietta, Georgia. There is only one other porn person I’ve met from Marietta, Ashley Jane, and she looked like Miss Ghettman could eat her for lunch.
Anyway, the sassy Ghettman has a nom de porn that made me think of another category: names that sound like a junior high school teacher and could stand a little pornification. I suggest she change her moniker to Gazongas Ghettman.
Regardless of whether she takes my advice, I admire her strength of character.
