[Torg] Simple Name Generator

[Jeff Clough]

This isn't strictly a Torg topic, but hopefully someone will find some 
use for this...

"There are many like it, but this one is mine!"

None of the name generators I've come across give me what I want. All I 
want is a quick list of ten or so names that have a reasonable chance of 
being distinct so that I can pick which one I want to use.

I hacked out a script that does this. You can find it here:

http://www.chaosphere.com/namegen.php

It gives you ten boy's names and ten girl's names. There's just about 
200 first names for boys and about the same number for girls. There are 
over 88,000 last names (taken from the US Government's Census records).

Hopefully it will be useful to someone else as well.

Jeff
