Roses and Cellar Doors: Spam-a-Lot

My spam filter missed a couple the other day, including one from an "Ana". How do spammers pick their names, I wonder? Is it calculated, figuring names that you're likely to recognize and mistake for an acquaintance (which almost worked in this case)? Or is it just completely random? After going through my spam folder, I have to think it's more the latter...
Clare's insight:

Who'd have thought your spam folder was such a fertile source of names? I agree, it's a very mixed bag, including Gertrude, Kuri, Hyacinth and Magnolia.

I guess it's been over a year since I checked my spam folder last. Still wondering--how do spambots pick their names?
