That's right, they're professional handles, not (mostly) their real names. But the search (in MIR) is for best-known-as professional handles, and I think that's also what you'd want/expect for model thread titles, isn't it?

If the policy of softcore models mods. is to prefer the first name found in each model's thread title, then be aware that that's often simply the first name that was found/encountered--i.e. subsequent names tend often to be appended rather than pre-pended. It therefore is not necessarily the model's best-known-as handle.

Unfortunately, I think it would be equally mistaken to always prefer the last name found in a model's title. I think there is no short-cut other than knowing or asking the folks who are familiar with the model's body of work.

I think I've already provided some evidence for why Anette Dybdal is perhaps a better-known-as handle for her than Josephine Moore.

Addendum: some other websites give her full name as also single-N rather than double-N, i.e. Anette Dybdal Simonsen. /shrug/

If my posts in this thread on that topic really all related to that--i.e. simply to preference--then you'd likely be seeing them in far greater numbers than you currently do. Instead I've carefully restricted my posts to only those few cases where I believe there's evidence that suggests the titles that have been preferred are mistaken, are not the handles that other members think of and use for these models.
