Names are cheap. If you need to buy them in bulk as a commodity, that can be arranged.
I was lucky to work in the tame minority of the fishing industry, but we sure heard our fair share of horror stories from the boats registered out of the Philippines and Thailand. Not sure what percentage was true, but the common theme is: humans and their names and families are cheap, if the buyer isn't racist.

Doesn't importation require a licensed citizen on the receiving side too though, which the government already has in a database? Those names can't be cheap.
