I’ve noticed that the unsolicited commercial email (a.k.a. “spam”) I get has become more creative in its measures. The tried-and-true “MAKE MONEY FAST!!!!!11!1!” won’t make it past the spam filters, so spammers (or, more accurately, spamming software) has to try a little bit harder.
Now it seems I always get spam from creatively-named ficticious senders. Going through my spam folder, I see names like Aracely Morris, Georgette Esposito, Eva Walden, Mayra Sneed, Omar Trotter, Myrtis Willis, Adaline Collier, Marcella Arrington, Sterling Nicholas. I mean, these are some good names! They’re mostly female, for some reason, but good, nontheless.
If I have another kid someday, I might just look in my junk email for name ideas.
