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!
