http://www.gaminggeeks.org/Resources/KateMonk/index.htm also has a good selection; don't remember where I got the link from, it may well have been Dumpshock.

Great sites.

I was curious at how few "american" names came up on the first link, given that it pulls from US census data.

I ran roughly 60 names through it and there were no Smiths, Wilsons, or Johnsons.

Curious. Not saying it's wrong, just curious.

Heh, it wasn't kidding about the obscuro-meter either: I ran a coupl'a testes on 50, and got "Brain Tutor" amongst others.

Obscurity meter doesn't seem too reliable - I got more 'real' names at 99 tha at 50, and at 1 it came up with these for female names:
1. Shuck
3. Bozarth
17. Mahaffey
22. Myrtle Boggs
23. See
25. Fredette
28. Lynda Null
29. Mckoy

Not the most common names you will find...
