I'm with you on this Tony.
I also do not agree that the FOIA precludes a "made up" name. I think this
irrelevant and the issues should centre on the request itself first, and the
requestor second.

Surely this falls under the same criteria as a "vexatious" request -
i.e. it must be the request, per se, that is frivolous or vexatious -
not the requestor?
