Okay, these people will think "Managing Director" or "Aunt Rosie" if they see your name automatically. But maybe you have entered a wrong name when you singed up for your Windows Live Hotmail account (I guess that can happen), or you want to hide your name if not your identity for a prank. Maybe your name has changed.
