My compromise/solution? I create fictional leagues with historical players, changing names manually most of the time; the stats come out more realistic relative to the chosen era, and the sheer number of players being renamed often induces a useful "fog of war" that allows the pleasure of discovery to trump expectations.
It does take a lot of time though, and I find set-up/creation/ modification more often the fun part, with relatively less time spent on simming. I seldom make it past 60 years; must be the old ADD acting up.

Actually this feature was in the help file under League Functions - Other functions. Would this randomize the names like you want.
Randomize Player Names - Randomizes the player names of all players in the selected league and any affiliated leagues.
