Fake identities for websites that dont matter
Fake Name Generator does exactly what you'd think, it generates made-up names complete with addresses, emails, job titles, height & weight, even (invalid) credit card numbers and national identity numbers (depending on the country you choose). Apart from the obvious use of coming up with your secret Alter-Ego's identity, the information generated can be used to gain access to overseas websites that are meant for only local traffic, or filling out forms for websites you don’t trust with your real information, such as those on the sketchier side of the web. There are fun uses for it too, as it can generate hobbit, ninja, and Latin names, as well as the names & information for an entire family, or you can generate identities in bulk. Of course any use of the information generated for nefarious purposes is illegal.
Other sites by the same company offer a Fake Music Generator (complete with album art, & downloadable tracks), and a Fake Mail Generator (that you can actually send mail to).
