About the random name generator
Realistic names make prototypes and test data more believable than "User 1, User 2". This generator draws from culturally varied first- and last-name lists and combines them at random, so you get plausible, non-repeating names without copying real individuals. Pair it with the username generator and lorem ipsum to fill out a complete sample record.
