My 2 cents
ID: best porn name that we here at VEF prefer, if we are in agreement in the first place then this should rarely if ever change, obviously if it is changed then all other csv's linking to the model need to be updated. In many cases this will be the same as
Professional Name: but need not be.
Professional Name: A widely accepted name for the model, this may change if a better name is found.
For example,
ID: Barbara (CC Classic)
Professional Name: 'Tina(16)'@EGAFD
Aliases: Barbara (CC Classic)
If a film listing or better name is found then that name can replace the Professional Name, 'Tina(16)'@EGAFD can be added to the Aliases, but her ID will remain as Barbara (CC Classic)
Aliases: Maria Szolontai (now there's a girl with an identity crisis) is a perfect example of why I think
all known aliases should be listed, if someone ID'ng a model knows she appeared in a film as XYZ then having the alias XYZ listed will help them locate the model
ID that we are using more readily and hopefully avoid/reduce the instances of models being listed multiple times under different names
Nationality: I think Rob4's suggestion to use 3-letter codes for the nationality is good one.
As we've discussed previously though nationality is a tricky one (as opposed to Place of birth), for example if an actress was born in HUN, worked firstly in GBR before becoming a USA national and continuing her career there, then what is her nationality?
As for distinguishing between (CC Classic) or (CC Model), whatever you choose please include them! Although an actress may not have appeared in film and may not be officially recognised outside VEF including them is useful for aiding in cross-referencing mags film photo sets and playing cards.
Personally I would refer to all made up names simply as Barbara* or 'Barbara' @VEF.
To digress, Is the shoot name for a model that appears in the set info
always the same as what appears in the original mag strory? and, if different which should be listed?
Finally, I think this all this disccuion can't be helping those actually ID'ng models and maintaining the csv's (Sorry about this post!)
Perhaps a Mod or someone overseeing these projects could start a dissusion thread (feel free to move/delete this post)
