A client of mine needed their website to sell event tickets. Whenever I set up something like that, I start with some test users so they can see what it'll look like when emails come in from people buying tickets. To ensure the test users don't get grouped into the actual users, I use noticeably fake names – most often Simpsons characters. This particular time I used Ned, Rod, and Todd Flanders.
The girl receiving the test emails needed a coworker to explain the names to her as The Simpsons weren't relevant when she was growing up.
