Mine would be **Steve Rivers**. **A Quick Guide:** Your middle name becomes your first name, and the name of the street you grew up on becomes your last name. **Alternatively:** If the standard formula doesn’t produce a sexy enough handle, feel free to improvise. ~Winston Smith, aka Steve Rivers ---

Mine’s not sexy enough, so I’m going instead with the formula I’ve always heard: your first pet’s name and the street you grew up on. We got both a cat and a dog at the same time when I was little, and so this makes me either Taffy Victoria or Lady Victoria, either of which I like just fine. My fiance doesn’t like this method much though, as it makes him Charlie Brown. ---

Middle name and street: Joan Scarsdale. Not terribly sexy. Pet names and street: Phoebe Scarsdale; Midnight Scarsdale (I sort of like that one!); Auggie Scarsdale. ---

Lets see… Middle name and street: John Electric (kinda bland) Pet name and street: Ziggy Electric, which sounds more like a band name. ---

I never heard the Pet Name variation, but I gotta say, Taffy Victoria _or_ Lady Victoria have got my vote for sexiest so far. ---

Using the petname/street method, I get Stripey 26th Avenue. Blah 🙂 I decided long ago that my online handle is my stripper/pornstar name: Tremor Violet. (Tremorviolet, BTW, was the title of a really bad 70’s eathquake disaster novel…) ---

HMMM, middle name and street Dawn Wilson pet and street Kitkat Wilson pet and mothers maiden name Kitkat Montgomery. I think I better stay out of the porn industry. ---

The usual formulas never produced very good sex worker names for me, but one day the perfect name came to me in a flash as I was walking down the sidewalk – “Dixie Delta”! I realized much later that this is probably a combination of the names of _Designing Women_ stars Dixie Carter and Delta Burke. My subconscious is weird. Anyway, I think it’s a good name, especially for a stripper It’s an alliteration, it’s vaguely suggestive (hey boys, check out my “delta region”), and it lends itself easily to an entire persona. I’m imagining a sequinned Confederate flag bikini as a costume, “Sweet Home Alabama” as background music…you’d be sure to clean up on tips with that act! ---

No middle name so I would just be Bellot. Like Cher. If we do the pet’s name, I am Pinto Bellot. A bit too masculine for me. We did this for my friend’s daughter, and using the pet/street name, she would be Blondie Raccoon Valley. So far, that’s my favorite. ---

“Attila Pembridge” is pretty stupid. Therefore, I’m improvising with “Rick Dickson.” ---

… ‘Bingo Niagara’ sounds more like a children’s show host than a porn name. I’ll just stick with ‘Arr’. It’s pretty all-purpose. ---

Ok, little briefing, my dad called his brother “bubba” because when he was little he couldn’t say “brother”. So when I got a dog at 4, I decided he would be like having a brother, I guess, so I called him “bubba”. :rolleyes: pet name/street name = bubba sprague, bubba kentucky or bubba golfview middle name/street name = lynn sprague, lynn kentucky or lynn golfview Not looking good…(considering I’m female and calling me “bubba” would be so wrong!). How about “Juana Phuck”? A hispanic-thai combo (of which I’m neither) - lol! 😃 “Stripey 26th Avenue” cracks me up - - but Tremor Violet is GREAT!! (giving my best Homer Simpson impersonation) “woo hoo!! porn!!” 😃 ---

Using the OP’s formula: BO-ring! Rachel Hinman. I always heard the pet name + street formula, in which case: Butterscotch Hinman. Bizarre, but a bit better. Pet plus mother’s maiden name? Butterscotch Ruttenberg. Truly surreal. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-your-porn-star-name/238357.md?page=2)
