Test Data and Tea Leaves

When I am testing my own software (or someone else's for that matter), I tend to use name like

• Darth Smith
• Lisa Simpson
• OJ Simpson
• Jill Hill
• Garth Vader
• Darth Brooks
  
• Maryann *
• Shawn Carter
  

And street addresses like:

• Box 1
• PO Box 1111
  
• Box 1234
  
• 742 Evergreen Terrace
• 1313 Mockingbird Lane
• 1313 North 13th Street
• 234118 NE 12145th Avenue Court Suite 31712

And cities like

• LA
• Mockingbird Heights
• Springfield
• NYC
• Uppersex
• North South Bend
• Old Young America
• Terror Lake
• Darth's Church

There are only 50 US states and a dozen Canadian provinces and the State of Confusion, so I have less chance to improvise here.
Internet Data:

• dvader@deathstar.gov (some argue it should be dvader@deathstar.mil)
• a@b.c
• http://www.starfleet.edu
• jill@enemyster.bus
• helen@heckhole.co.uk
• http://www.nile.com
• null://foo.az
  

What can you tell about a developer or tester based on common test data.

• I use "LA" because it is easy, often grouped with "Box 1"
  
• The name "Jill" shows up often, my name is "Jack", do I need to say more.
• I'm old enough to think of "Darth" as a name and not a title.  I am more of a Star Wars geek than an Star Trek geek; there are times when "Kirk" shows up, so I am not a purist.  (I think I've even used Darth Spock at one point.)
  
• When I'm not in a hurry, I like to come up with the long complex addresses that are found in sprawling cities
• Sometimes I will play off existing existing domains like nile or enemyster and I tend to use upper level domains other than .com
• I watched too much TV as a kid.
