Title: Nifty Little Tool
Post by: Bob Mueller on November 07, 2006, 05:05:35 PM

The Fake Name Generator (http://www.fakenamegenerator.com) lets you generate a name, address, phone number, birthdate, mother's maiden name, email, and (syntacticly correct but not valid) credit card number. The code was originally written for testing things that need lots of bulk ID data, and the guy realized that other people might find it interesting.

Very neat. You can create a Chinese girl, a German guy, or a Hispanic male, for instance, living in the US. Or an American guy living in Germany (http://www.fakenamegenerator.com/sMD2875afb47330ab1a8f523fef87920a7b.php?n=us&gen=random&c=gr). And you can save the URL ("Save As: permanent URL"), so you don't have to copy all the info down right away.

This is too much fun - to think of all those hours I spent deveioping decent test data bases back in the 70's!
Thanks Bob,
