Ada Lovelace

Sorely lacking... 

I don't see Brock Pounder on the mans list here. Where's the beef folks?

Les Matthew

How am I supposed to choose 

between "Fluffy Bristol" and "Muffy Mount"? ;)

Russell

Awesome 

This has made my day. I would particularly like to see a "training video" involving Napoleon Oakmount and Silky Staines...

Jim Booth

Muffy Mount.. 

Didn't she star in.....

rummages through old (ahem) film collection....

Alex

Bah... 

I wish I'd added mine. I think it would have been in with a shot...

"Max Hyde"

Oh, yah.

Is only I'd known 

I would have offered up my "Buster Churchill"

Cameron Colley

What about... 

...Randy Thrust?

Morningwood street? 

So it would appear.

How could mine not be on the list? 

You probably thought it was fake, but "Shaft East" is a GREAT porn name...especially for a male Asian porn star (I grew up on East Street, and our only cat was named Shaft...for "he's a real cool cat, that Mr. Shaft"). I'm disappointed...

Near misses 

Damn! I missed this one!

Irritatingly, I can't match pets to streets. My gran had a spanial called Lusty (true!) but she lived on Pavilion Avenue. Doesn't quite work. Whereas my parents had a mongrel called Tonto and lived in Cummings Road. Had it been reversed, it'd have been a winner!

(Tonto - named after the character in The Lone Ranger - was a vile obnoxious evil-smelling fleabag that should've been put down at birth but lived to be 17, thus surviving long enough to bite me several times during my childhood.)

BTW, that Silky Staines ... anyone got her phone number?

Why? 

I worked on a US based project with a team including Alexandre Casanova, Rich Love and Oscar Trinidad. Who needs a made up porn name when your parents give you names like that?

Missing Star 

I was surprised that Biggus Dickus didn't make your list. Surely this is one of the most pre-emminent male names of all time.

Pinky Philpott FTW! 

Quality.
