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...
