This is excellent, if a bit shady. It even generates credit card numbers and soc secs.

"Ronald P. Hollingsworth" sounds too made-up.

I knew a guy named Remington Justice Stover Stone III. Sometimes real names sound made-up, so a made-up name that sounds made-up actually sounds real.

I...uh...something like that.

um *they are*. real names are made up. by parents, for one.

The only difference between a real name and a made-up one is that you didn't just spend 6 hours in labour.

The Most Reverend Peter Hollingsworth was Australia's Governor General for a while recently.

Then he got caught up in a kiddy-fiddling scandal.

Donatela! It's me, Diastematic. I lived down the street from you on Squirrels Heath Road in Fairport back in 1975...'member?!

Oh come on,

Dixie J. Hobbs

Yes, a woman named Dixie would like to live on Confederate Drive, but you wouldn't find that street in NY and her parents wouldn't be Jewish.

[ Whoops, there is 1 Confederate Drive in NY. However I challenge anybody to find a Jewish person named Dixie. ]

BTW, what is there to prevent info acceptors from running the address through Google Maps?

Wow. I looked again at that NY Confederate Drive map. That street is nestled right next to Grants Dr, Lee's Ln, and Sherman Hill Rd. Maybe some Southern born sub-division developer was trying to counteract the evil generated by a street named after Sherman.

Hm. The Calgary addresses don't parse correctly (an address without a quadrant is useless) and the coder seems to think Whitehorse is in the Northwest Territories.

If anyone's still interested or curious, these addresses are completely fake. I got a batch of 10,000 US addresses, ran them through address verification software (I work for the company), and got the results. 99% of these addresses do not correspond to real addresses. The 1% that did were lucky guesses.

So no worries about privacy.
