What's up with the censored player names?

It seems like every few games I run into a player who has something like "*************". Surely this isn't their actual name. What the heck gives?

Edit: since this post has gained a decent amount of traction, maybe Psyonix/Epic will see it. Guys, could you, like, stop killing fun??? Or, at the very least, implement reasonable censoring, instead of blanket half measures?
