Good reasons to use one
Developers and testers need realistic sample data that does not point at a real person. Writers need character names that feel natural. Privacy minded users want a placeholder for low stakes sign ups where their real name is not required. In every case the point is a name that looks real without belonging to anyone in particular.
Need something to log in with rather than a full name? Use the username generator or the secure username generator for private handles.
