People probably use the pronoun "girlfriend" instead of her proper name because no one knows who the fuck she is.
example of two imaginary posts:
"Me and my girlfriend went to see the new Julia Roberts movie."
"Me and Susan went to see the new Julia Roberts movie."
which sounds better to us strangers? not only does it not make sense to use her proper name, but no one really gives a crap what your girlfriend's name is. anyway, it's more of a "name drop" if you use her proper name.
sounds to me like someone's got some sour grapes about not getting laid. so from now on, no one make any mention of having a significant other.
