How very coincidental. This afternoon I was talking to my cofounders about test data generation - and names were one of them.
Here are other resources that we found that were helpful:
- http://www.generatedata.com/ http://www.generatedata.com/
- http://databasetestdata.com http://databasetestdata.com
- http://randomuser.me http://randomuser.me (useful for frontends)
- http://gedis-studio.com/ http://gedis-studio.com/ (not free)
Also, TIL that Hipchat doesn't always pull all the links
- CatsoCatsoCatso 13y ago"How very coincidental" Colour me surprised too. Just 5 minutes ago I was searching for a false name generator. My heart leapt with fright on seeing my recent history at the top of HN.

- femto113 13y agoInteresting to see this come up. A couple years ago I started and then mothballed a system for generating realistic fake people (which I called golems) using deterministic and reversible algorithms instead of random numbers (it has a bunch of advantages). Got to love heroku's free tier, cause it's actually still on line: http://golems.herokuapp.com/person/random.json http://golems.herokuapp.com/person/random.json If anyone's interested in learning more let me know.
