Media outlets have been tricked by hoax names this month: San Francisco’s KTVU wrongly reported on the fake names of the crashed Asiana Flight 214’s flight crew Captain Sum Ting  Wong and Wi Tu Lo; and a Howie Felterbush fooled Florida news outlets with his comments on George Zimmerman’s not guilty verdict.

iMediaEthics has compiled a list of names that journalists should question if ever given to them by a source. The names were invented by the author, remembered from movies and childhood, and found around the Internet.

A good rule of thumb is to say the name out loud and see if it sounds like something naughty, vulgar or irreverent to a twelve year old. And, as with all things in journalism, verify the information before going with it.

Be forewarned. Some people may actually have these names. It is up to you to fact check. This is by no means a complete list; there are many others out there.
