While this isn't desirable for obvious reasons, I think in this case you
will be ok, as long as that account is used ONLY for spam. Bayes learns
tokens, not token combinations or sequences. As a result, it will doubtless
learn that name as a really spammy token. But if that doesn't show up in
any ham, you should be fine. It will just be wasting some effort learning a
token that doesn't really show up in spam or (hopefully) ham.

Hi Loren,
Thanks for the info. Will stick to my current method then :)
