Goodbye John Doe offers free, fictional placeholder names for designers and developers to use in their projects.

At last count, 104,7347 names had been generated.

All the names are entirely fictional and are not intentionally modelled on real people with the exception of Spruce Springclean (sorry, Spruce).

Names generated using the mashup feature are randomly selected first and last names from the default names list. If you happen to have a similar name to one of the names featured on this site, please don't be offended. Instead, give yourself a pat on the back, and don't forget you're a legend.

We accept no responsibility or liability for any incidental replications, likenesses or similarities with other names whether real or other fictional. You can use these names in any of your digital projects without restriction, personal or commercial, with the exception of the following caveat: you may not use a name as a character in a book, publication, theatre, video or audio production, or as a company or artist name, without prior permission.

These Terms shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of England and Wales.

The names are provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and noninfringement. In no event shall the authors or copyright holders be liable for any claim, damages or other liability, whether in an action of contract, tort or otherwise, arising from, out of or in connection with these names or the use or other dealings in the names.

By suggesting a name you agree to be bound by these terms, you agree the suggested name is your own invention and does not conflict with any existing copyright, and you irrevocably waive all copyright and related rights to the name to the extent possible under the law.
