Added a bit more error checking to prevent people from trying to load countries, name sets, or genders (!) that we don’t support. If a user modifies the URL to try to load a country, name set, or gender that is not supported, the website will use default values.
I don’t know why anyone would modify the URL in this way, but you never know…
Added Denmark, without telephone number support.
We are looking for translators to help convert the Fake Name Generator webpage into other languages. At the very minimum, we’d like a translation of the main page (that’s under 200 words), but a full translation would also be appreciated. Please email us if you can help.
In other news, we’re about 70% done with adding support for German addresses and telephone numbers. Once Germany is done, we’ll work on tackling the UK.
Oops! Had a typo in the terms of service. It said “resposibility” instead of “responsibility”. Guess that’s what you get for typing something up in the middle of the night in a rush. Oh well. It is fixed now.
Added Spain, without telephone number support.
Added Switzerland, without telephone number support.
Added Austria, without telephone number support.
Added Hungary, without telephone number support. Note that Hungarian addresses list postal code and city on the first address line, and street and house number on the second address line.
Added the country of France, with phone number support. The first two digits (zone code) should be accurate for the given city, but everything after that is random.
Updated the vCard script to correctly show names and telephone numbers for all the available name sets and countries.
Updated permanent URL page to correctly show all the available name sets and countries.
Updated e-mail address generator to replace foreign characters (such as “Ô) with their closest generic equivalent (such as “A”). Pretty sure we caught them all, but please email us if you find one we missed. This was done to ensure each email address generated is in fact a valid email address.
Updated name formatting to improve appearance for non-American names.
