Lot's of spam comes with these obviously fake, but colorful names. Why? When it was just with spam I figured they had to invent some name and so they were fighting boredom by making up names, but now with ebay doing it, it seems there might be some reason. ebay could have the "from" just be "ebay."

Anybody know the purpose of the fake names? MR?
I don't know the purpose, but I got emails from Shallot H. Brainstorm and Gladful B. Interstices.
