We’ve added Hobbit names to the Fake Name Generator. We hope you enjoy the novelty name sets that we have been adding, and would love to hear suggestions on what to add next.

Enjoy!

We’ve added a Ninja nameset. This nameset is based on the popular ITT ninja name system.

Enjoy!

We’ve added a new feature that lets you save your fake names for later. When you save a name, all the information generated with it (such as address, height, and weight) will be saved with it.

To make it easier to get started, you can log in with your Google account. Logging in with your Google account doesn’t give us access to any of your information (not even your email address!), so your privacy is maintained.

This is a new feature that we are just getting started with. We plan on expanding on this in the near future, giving you the ability to see your generated bulk orders, activate temporary email addresses, and more, all from FakeNameGenerator.com.

Michal Altair Valasek has helped us add Czech names to the Fake Name Generator. We will also be adding Czech addresses in the near future.

Michal has also helped us fix a few bugs in the bulk order process. Microsoft SQL Server orders should now load properly when imported into a database, and we’ve corrected some invalid field lengths in all the SQL output formats.

If you happen to speak Czech, check out Michal’s ASP.NET page.

Bill Turner has put together a neat Ruby gem that allows you to easily use the Fake Name Generator API in your Ruby application. The code is free to use and available on GitHub.

Getting a Fake Name Generator API key is fast and free. You can perform 50 API calls per month at no cost, and it is only $0.001 (1/10 of a cent) per API call after that.

Want to perform even more API calls for free? Here are a few ways to earn free API credits:

1. Help make Bill’s Ruby gem even better.
2. Create an API wrapper in another language, such as PHP or Java.
3. Use the Fake Name Generator to teach in a classroom setting (this includes homeschool classrooms of one or more students).

Please contact us if any of the above apply to you, or for more information.

The Fake Name Generator is currently being attacked by a botnet. This is slowing down our pages considerably. It appears that they are trying to generate a large number of names using our homepage instead of using the free bulk order page.

We have put in some temporary blocks to attempt to mitigate the botnet attack. This will make the Fake Name Generator temporarily unavailable to a small number of legitimate users. We apologize for the inconvenience.

If you need a lot of names, please use our free bulk order page!
