DE Full Name generator

Last modified: April 3, 2025

The DE Full Name generator creates complete personal names (first and last names) commonly used in Germany. It combines culturally relevant German first names (of any gender) with authentic German surnames to create realistic full names.

Note

If you select Germany from the Country-specific data list on the Options page of the Data Generator Project Properties wizard, the DE Full Name generator will be applied to columns that meet the matching rules, replacing the default (United States) generator.

Generator properties

The table provides key details about the generator, including the short name, sample of the generated data, the supported data types, and whether it is specific to a particular country.

Short name	Example of generated data	Data type matching	Country-specific
DE Full Name	Haike Blücher, Giesbert Möbius, …	character varyingcharactertext	DE

Matching rules

The generator can be assigned to a column that matches any of the following rules:

The column name starts with ‘created’, ‘modified’, or ‘locked’ and ends with ‘by’, with any or no characters in between, regardless of the table name.
The column name starts with ‘name’ and ends with ‘full’, with any or no characters in between, regardless of the table name.
The column name starts with ‘full’, ‘contact’, ‘reviewer’, ‘card’, or ‘ship’ and ends with ‘name’, with any or no characters in between, regardless of the table name.
The column name is ‘contact’, ‘artist’, or ‘composer’, regardless of the table name.

Configure additional options

The generator produces data based on a regular expression. Since it is built on the RegExp generator, see Regular Expression generator to customize settings and understand the correct usage of syntax.

The Text box displays .txt files that contain a list of male and female first and last names. The default path to the files is:

C:\Users\Public\Documents\Devart\dbForge Studio for PostgreSQL\Data Generators\DEFirstNamesMale.txt.
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Devart\dbForge Studio for PostgreSQL\Data Generators\DEFirstNamesFemale.txt.
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Devart\dbForge Studio for PostgreSQL\Data Generators\DELastNames.txt.
