Handy.
I'm rather fond of http://www.fakenamegenerator.com/ http://www.fakenamegenerator.com/
It gives names, (probably fake) addresses, credit card numbers, as well as a bunch else. It allows CSV export if you want up to 50,000 identities generated. It gives you options regarding the country too.
- tanishalfelven 11y agoDefinitely. I used to work with the people making fakenamegenerator.com, and I never realized how much it really tells you until getting a bit into the code. A fantastic site, to say the least.
- iLoch 11y agoWhat are the odds that it gave me the same birth date as my actual birth date? Month and day, but not year. That's quite the coincidence, though I suspect it's only something like 1:60.
- phire 11y agoThat would be 1:365.24 It would be 1 in 365, but leap years mess it up a bit.
- bentpins 11y agoLeap days are generated at the same frequency as regular days as far as I can tell. That simplifies things again to 1:366
- bentpins 11y ago1/365 I'd think. There are 365 days in a year and it has to match exactly one day. You might be interested in the Birthday Paradox though http://betterexplained.com/articles/understanding-the-birthday-paradox/ http://betterexplained.com/articles/understanding-the-birthd...
- ryan-c 11y agoBirthdays are not uniformly distributed. http://www.panix.com/~murphy/bday.html http://www.panix.com/~murphy/bday.html
- camkego 11y agoYes, but the probability that it found the same month and day as iLoch's, depend on the uniformity and independence of the month/day generator, not the distribution of actual birthdays.
- iLoch 11y agoYeah my guess was based on the birthday paradox. Though now I see that yes the software probably chose a random number between 1 and 365 so the birthday paradox wouldn't apply.
