What could help a developer is to plunder the available open-source frameworks and use the loot in his own code. At times these frame-works are well thought out, and some of their classes are clean, and can easily be moved into other contexts. Teus. On Fri, 2010-01-29 at 03:30 -0800, Tom Sparks

The US Census Bureau has lists of first names and surnames online with a breakdown of their frequency within the US population. It was very simple to extract just the names into arrays. We found it quite useful for generating database records for testing. YMMV. Bob McConnell -Original
