My Gmail account has captured about 50 spam messages in the last 24 hours. Typically I just scan that folder every few days, make sure I didn’t miss anything important, and then delete all the messages. As I was scanning the folder today, though, it occurred to me that spammers have really cool names. In fact, I’m kind of wishing I was a spammer so I could have a fun spammer name. In other words, I don’t think "Tony Morgan" would sell very many replica watches or ED pills.
I know you are a curious crowd. So, just for the fun of it, I thought I’d share some of the names. With that in mind, here are my:

Don’t you agree? Spammers have really cool names.
This, of course, raises an important question. If you were a spammer, what would your spammer name be? I think mine would be Henry Hampton.
You can already get an automated spammer name. Try it out.
