Data::Fake::Names — fake name data generators, aka your new fave lil bestie for making up people who don't exist 💖

---

🎀 VERSION 🎀

version 0.006 — yes she's on her 0.006 era, iconic

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

okay bestie, literally three lines and you're making fake humans:

use Data::Fake::Names;

fake_first_name()->();  # Fred, Mary, etc.
fake_surname()->();     # Cooke, Boyle, etc.
fake_name()->();        # Fred James Cooke, etc.

see that? you call the thing, you get back a generator, then you call that to get an actual name. double call, double slay 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So basically this module hands you fake data generators for person names. And rn — currently, as in right this second — every single name it spits out is English ASCII, sourced straight from US government "top names" lists. government-issued names, no cap 👑

And the best part? All functions are exported by default. You don't have to ask, you don't have to beg, they just show up in your namespace like 🫶

💜 FUNCTIONS 💜

⭐ fake_name

$generator = fake_name();

Hands you back a generator that gives you a randomly picked name — and it's a full name with first, middle and last name parts all together. Whole government name energy 👑

⭐ fake_first_name

$generator = fake_first_name();

Hands you back a generator that gives you one randomly picked first name. And here's the tea: it's split 50/50 between male and female names. perfectly balanced, as all things should be ⚖️

⭐ fake_surname

$generator = fake_surname();

Hands you back a generator that gives you one randomly picked surname. That's it. That's the whole vibe. simple, clean, effective 🌈
