All done - but, I included Marketa T as a tag as EBI includes that name as well.

Were the numbers in the thread titles actually in reference to something on that site or was it just clay's way of determining who was who?
e.g. a babe name Helena would be just Helena until another Helena comes on the scene in which case the original would become Helena 1, the second one to appear would be Helena 2 and if another cropped up in the future, they would become Helena 3 and so on?

this was clay's idea, which to my "shame" I have continued
thus, if he missed one, this could happen
actually, this turned out to be good, since J&M after a while drops any link to earlier women
I assumed that was the case but just wanted to make sure.
As long as it is with a view to helping distinguish Person A and Person B, it's all good.
Karups is the only site I can think of that actually tries to distinguish models by numbering them like that — Michelle 1, Michelle 2, Michelle 3, etc. — but even that isn't foolproof. Indexing sites generally don't carry over those numbers, and arguably shouldn't, because Karups itself doesn't always use them consistently. For example, in this case, "Michelle" and "Michelle 2" are actually the same person:

Czech Casting is an interesting example because their numbering system actually solves a lot of the problem. Someone might be "Lenka 2345" and another performer might be "Lenka 2342", so in the vast majority of cases the name-and-number combination gives you a genuinely unique identifier. The problem is that even this isn't completely reliable, because occasionally the same person can appear under more than one number — for example, "Lenka 2345" and "Lenka 2342" can actually be the same performer. So even a system that is designed to make every combination unique can still break down when the underlying database doesn't recognise that two entries are the same person.
It makes me wonder what the ideal solution would actually be. In theory, every performer could have a genuinely unique ID/code (e.g. PER-7F3A92) that acts as a reference point behind the scenes rather than replacing their name or aliases. So, if someone has three or four different aliases, each of those names could still be used normally, but they would all be linked to the same unique ID somewhere in the background for those who want to use it. That way, you'd be able to easily see that Michelle, Victoria and Elizabeth are all the same person, even if they were listed under completely different names on different sites. The problem, of course, is getting sites to recognize and maintain those links in the first place. It's simply not going to happen!
There are only so many names that can be used, of course, but it does seem surprising how often the same relatively generic names get recycled. A truly unique identifier would solve the problem, but only if there was some reliable way of establishing that two different names actually belong to the same person in the first place.
But basically, this is the value of what we are doing by naming the threads the way we do and indexing sites doing what they are doing which is to try and make sense of it all. It's just a shame it isn't a touch easier than it is!

Obviously, you've never met an African-American woman. Many of them want their ch!ldren to have a unique name.
As one African-American comedian once said,
"If you ever hear someone paging Quantavious over the intercom, you know their looking for a black guy."
