Title or Identifying number of the depiction is lawyers speak for the Name, SKU number or other method that the Content Provider uses to distinguish their products from each other. What name shows up on the Invoice is a good place to start.
Example: "Is this video file "Shemale Xtresspass 3" or this this "Lisa Loppers 1"?

Not even the top pornstar database sites may know all the names a model has used.

I totally agree with the difficulty in aggregating all the name information. I have hung out with more than a few strippers and adult entertainers.
However, any good Model Release Statement will include the name requirement right on the first or second page. This sort of thing has been around FOREVER, working into proof of age documentation long before there was an internet and the only place to see porn was Playboy and strip clubs.
Examples of two Adult Model Releases plucked off the first page for a Google Search of the term "adult model release form 2257":
Model Release from gmpass
Notice the requirements of:
- Legal Name
- Stage Name (if any)
- Alias (if any)
- Maiden Name
- Professional Name
- And two entries for Also Know as and one generic any other name.
Tanda Studios
Notice the requirements of:
- Legal Name
- Stage Name (if any)
- Alias (if any)
- Maiden Name
- Professional Name
- Also Know As
If the model signs his/her name to this document, that is a pretty good piece of armor in court. And if you are new to the business and the Content Provider doesn't have a Model Release Statement for you, run away fast.
It seems to me that maybe some Content Providers didn't gather this info back in the day. I am sorry for them.
But their bad luck and lack of foresight should not equal their customers going to jail.
So any competent adult model release should include this information.
