My Confession

I get far too much joy out of coming up with fake names for documentation.

Now, some of you are reading this and thinking, "Yeah, fake names from 80's songs."

And that is actually not true.

Fake names from wikipedia. Wikipedia has these really long pages of names and how they work in different countries. I enjoy playing mix and match.

• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthroponym
• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Given_name
• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surname
• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_names

And all the pages below them lead to interesting (to me) creations. And since no one else knows what they mean, I can also mix in people I know and an occasional 80's lyric...

It's the one engaging thing I can do during documentation.

Yes, I'm odd.
