New Zealand now available

Monday, February 20th, 2012

We’ve added New Zealand to the Fake Name Generator.

Latitude/longitude now available

Saturday, February 18th, 2012

We’ve added latitude and longitude to the Fake Name Generator. We are still rolling this feature out to some of the countries that we generate addresses for, but expect to have it fully available in a few days.

The coordinates we provide are intentionally not exact. For example, if the generated city is New York, then the coordinates will be in the general area of New York City but not the exact street address. This should be sufficient for the needs of most of the people that have requested this functionality.

GUIDs now available

Thursday, February 9th, 2012

We’ve had several requests for GUIDs, often used in databases. This feature is now available on the Fake Name Generator homepage and with our free bulk order system.

Tons of new features

Tuesday, February 7th, 2012

We’ve been hard at work adding features to the Fake Name Generator.

Over the past few weeks we have added:

  1. Brazil as an available country.
  2. Brazil as an available nameset.
  3. A more modern mobile page for those using smartphones.
  4. You no longer have to type in a captcha for free bulk orders if you are logged in and have placed at least one order in the past.
  5. You can order in bulk Excel (.xlsx) or Excel 97-2003 (.xls) formats.

Unfortunately we’ve run into some issues with the Excel order fulfillment process and have disabled it until we can fix the problems.

To make up for this, we’ve added Russian names, both romanized and Cyrillic.
