Assuming native speakers of American English:

For first names:

- John
- Jack
- Mary
- Jane

For last names:

- Doe 
- Smith
- Jones
- Johnson

Full names:

- _John Doe_ is native English shorthand for "generic person."
- _Richard Roe_ is native English legal shorthand for "second generic person in the same document as John Doe." ["Jane Roe" (an anonymous woman at the time) is the Roe in _Roe v. Wade._]
- _John Q. Public_ is another recognizable "generic person." Use any first name there.

For company names, I like using _Widget_ for products in conjunction with _Co., Company, Corp., Inc.,_ etc. (So House of Widgets, Widgets Inc.) A "widget" is a generic term for "made object or product."

For non-product names, _Acme_ is reasonably generic. (Acme Incorporated) You can also combine some of the other generic terms: _SmithCo, Jones & Sons, Acme Widgets._

For addresses:

- 123 Main Street 
- Anytown, ST 12345 (_ST_ is standing in for the two-letter state abbreviation)

For websites, I'd just use _www.example.com_

For username and password, just put in _username_ and _password._ You actually want to be straightforward with those fields, not coy and anonymous.

Original score: 8
