Her name is Stephanie Clifford.

[Stinky The Clown]

Stormy Daniels is a professional name that used when she's working.

Her name is Stephanie Clifford. When might the media who are flogging this story start showing some fundamental respect. She is a person. Not a porn name.

1. I would bet dollars to doughnuts (which these days is probably even money).

So I'll give five to one odds she doesn't care.

[Kirk Lover]

12. Awwww my Mom used to always say that. I don't hear anybody ever saying it!

[rzemanfl]

15. Priced doughnuts lately? That's why. n/t

[JI7]

2. She wants stormy to be used since it promotes her business

[hlthe2b]

3. Exactly... Her lawyer could correct media if it mattered, but her stage name means promotion

[poboy2]

4. This is the answer. Its to her benefit they use her stage name for branding/exposure.

I am sure her tour has increased its billing fee as well. Good for her.

[Agschmid]

17. Yup.

[NCTraveler]

5. She brands herself as Stormy Daniels to this day.

She refers to herself as that, among other names, on legal documents.

[nolabear]

6. And Elton Jonh is Reggie Dwight.

She wants that name used. Everything isn’t disrespect.

7. I'm fine with her using whatever name she wants to

If she wants to use her branded name, I'm fine with that. If she wants to use a nickname (Steph instead of Stephanie), I'm fine with that. Many other famous (and non famous) people go by a name other than their legal name, whether that be a stage name, nickname, middle name, etc. Do you have an issue with the media referring to Senator Schumer as Chuck instead of Charles? Do you have an issue with Robyn Fenty being known by her middle name (Rihanna)?

Honestly how the media refers to her is the least of my worries.

8. His name is David Denison

[George II]

10. Bazinga!

[oberliner]

9. No, her name is Stormy Daniels

She uses that for her official twitter account also.

[world wide wally]

11. When will Trump start using Drumpf?

[Kirk Lover]

13. I'm pretty sure she is proud of her stage name: Stormy Daniels. And from what little

I have heard her speak - she ain't no dummy. She is also not a shrinking violet ( OK OK Obviously LOL) but I mean she can take the hits that are coming & that will come. Her and Avenetti are a formidable team.

Can someone tell me why RUMP would sue her and open himself up to discovery. I know little of the law but this seems beyond foolhardy.

14. and Marilyn Monroe was born Norma Jeane Mortenson.

Stormy chooses to use her stage name, which promotes her brand and is likely more a part of her identity than her birth name.

[Wounded Bear]

16. John Wayne was really Marion Morrison...

think we'd consider him so macho with that handle?

[BadGimp]

18. No I'm pretty sure she's a Porn Star. In fact I quite certain :)

[lame54]

19. I prefer the headline...

Porn star sues trump

Not stephanie clifford sues trump
