Maybe they like to break applications?

I frequently see people trying to name tables, TABLE and other silly things, just because they can.

List
 
We have a 9i system and I came across a table like this:  
SQL> select owner, object_name, object_type, status from dba_objects where object_name like 'WHI%'; OWNER           OBJECT_NAME               OBJECT_TYPE        STATUS
--------------- ------------------------- ------------------ -------
ABCDEFG         WHI Unique                TABLE              VALID SQL>
 
Never seen any table with a space in the name. Has anyone seen similar stuff? Why would the third party vendor name this way. I have to double quote the name to query and desc.  
OL.
