What if I don't want to reuse the same name?

#1

I’m generating forms that have:

1 applicant name
0 or 1 “Alias” names for the applicant
1 mothers maiden name

I get a unique applicant name, but the first Alias and Maiden name are always the same. How can I avoid duplicate names here?

Thanks!
Mike

Can you post the share link at the bottom of your schema? I’ve set up something similar here and I don’t get duplicates, so I must be doing something differently:

This should be much easier to read:

It looks like Mockaroo always generates full name based on the previous first and last name fields. That functionality goes back a long ways and probably isn’t needed anymore given that you can do the same thing with Formulas. I’ll consider removing it. In the meantime you could force it to generate a new name by adding new First Name and Last Name fields for the alias and switching the full name field to a Formula with value alias_first_name + ’ ’ + alias_last_name. If you want to hide the first and last name fields from the output you can do so by naming them starting with two underscores, for example “__alias_first_name”

Ok, cool. That works fine.

BTW, this tool is awesome!
