Well from reading on another website, some TV-programme was out interviewing people in the street, and at the end as a "fun excercise" got them to give their pornstar names. The afterwards revealed to them just how much security information they had given out.


But was that out of a genuine concern for the public's privacy, or the urban myth in action?

Yeah, but was it a conscious decision on the part of evildoers to glean that information as part of their dastardly plans or purely a bit of a laugh that some read too much into?


Funnily enough I think there might just be some truth in it, not as in a pre-devised plan as much as an opportunity to take advantage of. Another thing is I'm sure when I first heard about this, on Richard and Judy segment I think, it was your first pet's name and the street you first lived in that you used, the maiden name thing, a standard security question, seems to have come later on. Unless Richard and Judy got it wrong and of course that's unthinkable.

Yeah, I've heard the street name one too, might have been in a similar gag which wasn't a porn name but something else. Can't recall what it was, now, unfortunately.

My wife is Nippy Hinemoa (and no, neither are used as passwords).

My parents didn't allow pets, so no porn name for me.

Where I come from we play the game a bit differently.

Take the name of the first pet you can remember as your first name.

For your surname take the first part of the street you can remember as your earliest home address.

My Porn name becomes...

Thumper Adastral.

Which always sounded pretty cool to me.

Greetings from Kiev
