http://www.gaminggeeks.org/Resources/KateM...eMonk/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... :elims: |
