Of names: fake and real

I am cur­rently involved in an exer­cise of excising the names of celebrit­ies and char­ac­ters from tele­vi­sion series, movies, and car­toons (mostly copy­righted names) from our doc­u­ment­a­tion set. The names, intro­duced to pop­u­late the data­base, made their way into user doc­u­ment­a­tion through screenshots.

Dur­ing this exer­cise, I have been find­ing inter­est­ing names and phrases. I pleaded mea culpa for using John Galt as a name in the data­base. :)

Have you found any inter­est­ing names in any doc­u­ment­a­tion? What kind of names do you use in your documentation?
