# Awkward names for a sign-up form's name field

GET

/v1/variants/names

```js
const url = 'https://api.proxymail.qa/v1/variants/names?field=first_name';
const options = {method: 'GET', headers: {Authorization: 'Bearer <token>'}};

try {
  const response = await fetch(url, options);
  const data = await response.json();
  console.log(data);

```

```sh
curl --request GET \

Values for testing what a form does with a name: accept (a real person’s name: apostrophes, hyphens, accents, other scripts such as Chinese, Arabic or Thai, one letter, exactly the maximum), reject (over the maximum, empty, only spaces), store\_as\_text (HTML, a script tag, a SQL injection, a template expression: to be stored and shown exactly as typed, never run) and decide (digits, symbols, emoji, spaces around, a zero-width space, composed and decomposed accents, and 64, 128 and 255 characters when no maximum is given: apps differ, so note what the app did). See <https://proxymail.qa/docs/unusual-names-and-passwords>.
