Don’t laugh, I can think of a couple legitimate uses for the fake name generator. It’s not only name, fictional data is randomly generated containing the following fields: name, address, zip code, email address, phone number, mother’s maiden name, birthdate, credit card number and social security number (remember, all bogus info).

For developers needing dummy data to test their program, they offer free bulk generation in seven different output formats: MySQL, MsSQL, CSV, tab and pipe delimited, EXCEL and HTML table.

Don’t want to use your real name blogging and elsewhere online like Thomas Hawk? No problem, you could be Jewel B. Day, George Smith, Bobby Clutts or Marie Daggett. I’d rather read a comment here from Wayne Stallworth than Anonymous (another good possible usage). Need a pen name for that great novel you’re writing? Now you know where to go.

Added to our growing Hmm generators list.

Did this post make you go hmm?
