The England/Wales names are weird too, lots of unusual first names. Also, Wales seems way over-represented. It has a population that's tiny compared to England

The England/Wales names are weird too, lots of unusual first names.
Also, Wales seems way over-represented. It has a population that's tiny compared to England, but half the names generated seem to be Welsh names such as Cerys.
- warbastard 13y agoAlso, I don't know any English/Welsh people who drive a 1992 Pontiac Sunbird.

- sentenza 13y agoThat was the first thing I noticed. My random German drives a 1996 Buick Roadmaster which is about as likely as him riding around on a Unicorn.
- CWuestefeld 13y agoThe first thing I noticed was that the vehicle field doesn't seem to be sensitive to the products available domestically for the person's address. And for bonus points, it could even consider demographics of the address versus price of the car (I got a Bentley while living in the middle of nowhere in the rust belt, which seems a bit suspicious).
- dubfan 13y agoThe addresses it generates are generally non-existent (if they do exist, it's a coincidence)
- bonestamp2 13y agoYa, I think the car databases are backwards... I have never seen a Peugeot in America. I'm sure there are some, but I've never seen one.
- emmelaich 13y agoMy Eritrean living in Sweden was 170cm / 5'6" weight 112kg 246lb. Bit unusual but possible I guess. Random name factoid: In England, J is a valid first name and A is a valid surname. So someone's full name could be J A. I wonder how many databases would accept that.
- bigiain 13y agoI've got a colleague who's legal first name is "G". He's listed as "Gee" in about 50% of the places he needs to register (including some important places where there might be future legal ramifications of not using his proper legal name - I'm looking at _you_ Crazy Domains web/database programmer!)
- dubfan 13y agoThe car generation is really strange. I just generated an occupational therapist aide who drives a 2001 Ariel Atom.
- knorc 13y agoSame for French names. Last names are okay, but first names aren't French at all for most of them. I think maybe you had a list of all possible names, but you didn't take into account that some of them are more frequent than others ?
- pbhjpbhj 13y agoI tried the generator with gender:random; nameSet:England+Wales; country:UK. All but one of the names is a forename of someone I know - that name is Scarlet and it appeared twice in my sample of 20. Only one of the names was 'foreign' though. In my area there would be several Asian names in that sample.
