Intercom randomly generates names for unknown users.

I see that this was raised 4 years ago however the issue is still unresolved: https://community.intercom.com/conversations-9/why-does-intercom-randomly-generate-names-for-anonymous-leads-192 

Qualifying leads is not a solution if the conversation is not on Intercom Messenger but, for example, on Whatsapp.

There needs to be an option to disable this feature, as mentioned in the thread above there are too many confusing colors in the random names such as “Amber” or “Violet” which are commonly used as names as well.

Agreed! Especially since we are using Intercom Phone, and our inbox is filled to the brim with these aliases.

Would be much more useful in the Intercom Phone queue if the phone number displayed when no user is matched.
