What's In a Name?

Women represent 65% of healthcare workers and over three quarters of teachers, but the world’s most heroic women can be found in the adult film industry. Their performances entertain billions of men around the globe, and dozens of women. The world of adult entertainment is highly competitive, so catchy and memorable names are paramount. It’s important for gaming characters to have memorable names too, so it’s not surprising that they follow many of the same naming conventions that the porn industry uses. On that note, this list looks at gaming characters with pornstar names. Keep in mind that we’re only focusing on names, and we’re not necessarily implying that any of the characters listed here act like pornstars. Instead of ranking them from best to worst, we’re simply listing them in alphabetical order. This list is anything but exhaustive, so leave a comment if there are any characters we missed!
