Im in the states and was wondering if a company will list the porn name and the ISP hit you with a DMCA listing the same thing.

No, it’s possible that if you are sharing a torrent, they might. It’s not illegal to recieve copyright material, just distribute it. In either case, it would be highly unusual for an adult entertainment company to go after individual users. Usually its just movies, TV/streaming shows, or music.
Some states you just have to watch out for age restrictions/verification.
I’m going to have to step in and correct you on something because I’ve followed the news of TorrentFreak for years and noted how the entertainment industry has focused their tactics.
From the 2000s through early 2010s, they went after everyone and I mean everyone. Everyone who both downloaded and distributed what they considered copyright infringement. They’ve targeted many people, including people who both were old and didn’t have internet but sued them anyways for thousands of dollars.
However at somepoint in the mid-2010s, they changed tactics. They know it’s a losing battle to go after so many downloaders because piracy was more adopted. So, they decided to go after distributors and those who stream what they see as illegal.
I’m pretty positive though that if they still wanted to, they’ll take down a downloader, if you make a blip on the radar. I don’t exactly know what it’ll take but it has to be significant enough to grab their attention. But for now, they’re after site owners, streamers, distributors and notorious individuals who house a lot of downloaded content.
Probably right but I did get my internet shut off by Parámount due to a poorly set up VPN (user error /skill issue).
It was not a big deal - I just had to fill out a web form promising to stop and they turned it on. But it freaked me out. Pretty unexpected, but I guess they still do it sometimes.
