Go ahead and fight your losing battle.
Copyright and the Right of Personality are not the same things.
Furthermore, this is a matter of French law as you have said.
Maybe, you will set new precedent in the Court of the French Republic.
More importantly,: a common noun 'porn' is not a proper noun like Mr. Joe Porn.
In the USA the Right of Personality is state law. That is the court where the case is filed

• Where do you live?
  
• what is the law where you live and where your assets are?
• where is the person?
• where is the attorney?

A person in Romania could get a lawyer that is a member of the bar in your state (if you are in the USA) and sue you under your state's laws (possibly), or; If your are a resident of France in the French courts under French laws.
Lot of trouble over what?
Some SEO trick that made you chump change.

A lawyer can subpoena your address from the registrar -- they will comply
Did you register with a false name and address -- then that is grounds for domain name forfeiture back to the registry (ICANN By Laws that you accepted when you registered that domain name)

Apparently, this is not just the typical empty threat ...

Over what? LOL?

Fix the script
or stop linking to those pornhub / xvideos URLS

s/that_name/wendkths/; or PHP matching
make that name disappear
then you get the results for 'wendkths' < gibberish
eventually search engines will not index that result.
you are using a persons name in a URL as a parameter.
Same issues -- they could care less about how you are doing it -- you are doing it.

just fix the script when they complain and stop bitchin'
this is an old story with porn/cams and DMCA abuse ...
... DMCA is for content. You could make trouble for this lawyer and get him answering a Bar complaint of abuse of the DMCA process.

<<< you might have a counterclaim --talk to a licensed attorney

However, you are using the same lame defense that: Joe and Cube sell crack in the projects -- if they do why can't I?
Judge answers: you were the guy we caught -- 5 years!

If you screencap record a video that is broadcast for a reasonable expectation of profit -- that is copyright infringement <period> that's Berne Convention Treaty Copyright Law, France is a signatory and most other countries.

If you make a video of someone running down the street naked -- that has no copyright protection However, the Right of Personality under a State law might apply.
