Name Generator – The much needed tool

Chris McClelland tweeted about a wonderful tool called Fake Name Generator. When testing sites that contain user based info I always like to have real names in the fields, it just makes the site look more real that “TestUser_23423″.

The real drag is creating that data, until now…..

Fake Name Generator will create all the user data you need in a variety of output types (including sql) and then email it to you. You can create up to 50,000 names via their tool if you want to define your types of users. If you just want users you can download their 1,000,000 users dump. Perfect.
