Who cares about that?  Gmail users can easily setup their "send mail as" 
preferences to either reflect their real-life name, or any fictitious name 
they desire.

Gmail has a nice spam feature anyway, if you can be bothered to check it 
occasionally for junk email.  I use gmail when I'm pretty sure something is 
going to throw rubbish at me, which is most of the time.

Increasing the spam headed towards gmail users will only increase the 
effectiveness of their spam email filters.  I don't see why any spammer 
would want to do Google a favour.
