This being pedantic about the word random is all very well when you are right, but here you are wrong.

to be truly random, would require the sample not to be constricted by human names, but by all possible words, making the probability of the two words forming a person's name, very weak indeed. If it was a randomised choice within names of people, then the likelihood of a forename and a surname being chosen would also be relatively remote. If however, each name was chosen separately, the forename from a sample of all possible forenames, plus the surname from a sample of all possible surnames, then the two samples become considerably constricted from the starting point. The fact that the outcome results in the name of an existing person further calls the randomness of the process into question, as well as the fact that the two names appear to be from similar ethnic roots.
This leads me to question whether it was random at all, I agree with Mr Pineapple.

It's basically my point.
I somehow doubt that I was in the running to be picked for this, so I do not believe random sampling was inferred.
Also, even if it was, I highly doubt that they were referring to their sampling method, rather than just being all "lol, random"
