Whenever I join a company I always create a bunch of made up names on my “prior inventions” list. When I open source something I just name it after something I put on my list if the description is close enough.

That is insanely clever. Love it.
^^^^ Excellent idea and thinking ahead.
Great suggestion to make in advance placeholders to contain side projects.
Do you think your colleagues have the same ideas of what is honest and trustworthy behavior?
In what ways do you trust, and not trust, your colleagues?
How do you feel about that?
What do colleagues have to do with anything?
The better question is in what ways do you trust, and not trust, the company you work for?
And the answer to that can be very complicated, and depend on the company a great deal. It also depends on who might buy the company in the future, and they might not be trustworthy at all.
The scenario is someone in a work environment, lying and defrauding in signed documents.
Where does the workplace dishonesty start and end?
Does the person think that their colleagues have the same rules, or different rules?
How does that affect their work environment?
(Incidentally, I'm sick of HN downvoting legitimate comments.)

I trust them to mind their own business and I do the same for them.
The people approving this stuff are your bosses, not your colleagues.
