Usually, if I'm actually *intentionally* creating fake names, I tend to mine the casts of my favorite comic strips ("Beetle Bailey," "On the Fastrack," "9 Chickweed Lane," and so forth). And if I need a fake company name, I tend to go with things like "Universal Foobar" or "Foobars, Inc."

Detecting obviously fake names is a battle you'll probably never win.

I had a professor at CSU Long Beach, who never made fun of anybody's name: Dr. Wayne Dick.
