I have renewed respect for authors after seeing how hard it apparently is to come up with good fictional names. Sheesh. Here is a sampling from today's spam catch:
Valerie England
Millicent Eldridge
Vincent Rose
Bradly Daniels
Marcie Melvin
Rodger Woodard
Trenton Pike
Wilmer Laird
Roger Delong
Ernesto Burger
I don't know what I'm expecting, but a lot of these names seem weak. Millicent? Ernesto Burger? What's a Wilmer? If spam is graffitti, then is it asking too much for it to be a bit more artful? Don't they feel a shred of responsibility when they send something out to 1.2 billion people? ...:)
