If I ever decide to write a novel (stranger things have happened!) I’ve found the perfect Random Name Generator™: SPAM! By which I mean unsolicited e-mail rather than the tins of spiced pork and ham.
Here are the marvellous names of people who today have supposedly e-mailed me personally to inform me about how I can earn a $1000 bonus, buy all the medications that I could possibly want — including viagra (or as they prefer to spell it: \/IAaGR@), solve all my health worries in one fell swoop, and inform me about possible security violations on my accounts with the Fifth Third Bank, Athens Financial Group and Alliance & Leicester. (I also got an email with the subject “disease fibreglass” — eh?!)
- Trenton Bartlett
- Vernon Brandon
- Gusto Conrad
- Latoya Franks
- Alisha Gomez
- Monroe Hoskins
- Dominga Lounsbury
- Austin Mertens
- Jewel Pacheco
- Guadalupe Rupprecht
- Sara Schaffer
- Aldo Templeton (isn’t that just a merger between two supermarket chains? One from the 90s, one from the 70s)
- Marivel Tracie
- Nash Wess
My favourite is Trenton Bartlett. Wasn’t he in The Great Escape?
(There was actually another one that I quite liked, but I then realised that it was a real e-mail to me from someone enquiring about his Psion!)
