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.
