Someone posted a list of names a while ago, forgot who, but basically, some names are generated by Halo to cover up people who have the same name as someone else.
I once went by the name HAL9000, and, quite often, had my name randomly change when I entered a server because there was already someone there named HAL9000. So I came up with something a little more original.
However, some of the time, if you see one of the names on that list, that person deliberately used that name.
