Dude, who even knows.

I wonder how many pornographic actresses choose stage names to appear first alphabetically on websites’ lists of porn stars. Aardvark? Aaaaa? There seem to be a couple with the name Aaliyah; I wonder if that’s their given name or if it’s a strategic choice.
That said, whatever first name you pick, certainly you should pick a last name that’s alphabetically-very-early, so that if someone types your first name, you’ll be right there, even if you weren’t the one for whom they were looking.
Faking a connection with other established names though, remember all the Grey girls after Sasha?
Oh? Is that a thing? I barely know who Sasha Grey is. But, would viewers/searchers actually assume a relation?
Oh, she was really from this 2000s moment where (in part because of that auxiliary media) porn stars were like C-list national celebrities (Sasha Grey’s angle was she was really good at asking to be abused)
In the ‘80s, sure, a lot of performers had gimmicky names (big tit star Christy Canyon…), like I say it was like the one channel that performers controlled
