Don't know if this is of interest to anyone but I just stumbled across http://www.fakenamegenerator.com/order.php which lets you generate dummy data, including names, addresses and much more for a variety of countries in a range of formats including SQL.

I've just tried it and it seems quick and useful to me.

Cool Q &A in the generated ZIP file of data:


Q: Isn't this illegal?
A: I really don't see how it could be. If I ask you to make up a random name
and address, is it illegal if you do?

Q: Can I use these credit card numbers to buy stuff online?
A: No. Its the FAKE name generator, not the real-stolen-credit-card generator.
All the included credit card numbers are completely fake.
