Use https to get around web filtering

Saturday, March 28th, 2015

We are doing a trial run of offering the Fake Name Generator under the https protocol. This often allows you to get around web filter restrictions.

To give it a try, simply visit https://www.fakenamegenerator.com/

Updated translations

Monday, March 9th, 2015

We are starting fresh with new, professional translations of the Fake Name Generator. Our old translations, many of which were machine translated, have been removed completely from our website.

We’ll be publishing these new translations over the next several months. To get started, we’ve translated the Fake Name Generator into Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish.

If you find a mistake in our translations, please let us know! We’ve switched to standard gettext .po files. This makes it easy for our visitors to contribute improved translations of our website.

Fixed missing country flags

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2015

We noticed we were missing country flags for a few countries. These flags are visible within the My Names page. This has been corrected.

Save button fixed

Monday, March 2nd, 2015

We’ve fixed the save button. This inadvertently got broken during the launch of our responsive design a few days ago. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Scheduled maintenance: March 6

Monday, March 2nd, 2015

The Fake Name Generator will be unavailable for a brief period of time starting March 6, 2015 at 6:00 AM UTC. We anticipate only a brief interruption in service while we update the software that runs our servers.
