Complete and Utter Zebu

We all hate spam, except presumably the loathsome bottom-feeders who flood our in-boxes with the bloody stuff. However, we noticed a while back that while the products they tout may be pretty well identical, month on month, year on year, there’s often an element of inspiration when it comes to inventing the names of the people who purport to be emailing us. Here are some of the names we couldn’t help admiring.

Authors short of inspiration may find the list useful. Or not. If you know of any other good ones, do let us know.
