The original issue report observes many of these strings present in the heap. To address this issue, we can remove these eagerly created fake names, bringing their behavior in line with nameless parameters from MethodParameters attribute, such as those from inner class constructors. A unit test verifies that no name is retained in the Parameter object when the name is fake.
