Names that matter

I had a slew of spam email this week with the subject line, "hi it's [name]", which I guess is meant to trick me into clicking on the email because I might know someone by that name. The names in question were:

• Errol
• Leah
• Tommy
• Concetta
• Mel
• Hal
• Tameka
• Lindsay
  

Let's face it: most of these names aren't exactly common in Singapore. I know exactly one Leah and two Mels. I don't even know of a Tommy among my social circle. And Tameka?

These spammers need to do more homework.
