IMDB searches on the first names "Porsche" and "Lexus" turn up only porn
stars. (Actually, there is one actress named Porsche who appeared in
"Revenge of the Calendar Girls," probably not porn by strict definition but
close enough.)

Also, "Madison" (discussed previously) turns out to be the name of three
different porn actresses.

Perhaps there is some kind of process where porn names go mainstream? Or do
porn stars tend to chose names that are on the cusp of fashionability?

(IMDB = Internet Movie Data Base; http://us.imdb.com; a great resource,
although occasionally inaccurate)
