It's not surprising because spammers write scripts for all sorts of platforms (WordPress, vBulletin, etc.). There's probably no custom code written to attack your site.
They detect your platform and use a script from their pre-existing library to post their spam.
For realistic usernames, they can just reuse names they've seen on other platforms.
Goes the same for emails. Any existing email list could be a source for genuine sounding names. Just throw a couple of numbers at the end of the name and you've got a unique name that a human already came up with.
