It may have to do with copyrights. Similar to professional (WWE) wrestlers. A stage name is created by WWE to make a wrestler more appealing (or a particular character) and WWE retains the rights. The wrestler gets popular and wants to go elsewhere but can't take the name. They have a harder time using that popularity. Same could be true for pornography actresses.

so its like a character/role that the wrestler just acts as. never really thought of it like that. makes sense
If you google their real name how often does their porn name pop up?

Cockburn sounds like a porn actress name.

Marketing. For all but a handful of them, a porn career is incredibly short lived. Using different names allows them to prolong it by obscuring the fact they are whores in their twenties and not innocent teens on their first time.

they think itll make the spirit of shame pass over them and kill some other woman.
