These names....
Some of the wildest names I have ever seen. No killer for me but I do hope someone comes up with a new name pack. Had a guy from Little Rock, Ark. with a name I couldn't come close to pronouncing...I don't think so.

The names are straight from Census dept data
form this link, I think ...http://www.census.gov/genealogy/names/names_files.html |

It's kind of xenophobic to think that people from Little Rock, Ark. wouldn't have something other than a good ol' name like "Tom Smith." Or that people don't have bizarre names. Look at the kids born to people in Hollywood. I think one kid's name was "Apple." That's a crazy f'ing name.

As an exercise, take the names of all the players currently in MLB, and then take a set of names of similar size you won't be familiar with -- say, all the players currently in single-A. You might be surprised how "weird" the single-A names are -- but if they as a group all made the majors, they'd suddenly be familar-sounding. |

Census data was used...we're populating fictional worlds and thousands of players..we're going to get strange names from cities...

I saw a guy named "Coco Crisp" in my game! It was a game killer and I threw my laptop out of a window.

Milton Bradley came up in one of mine, now I have an attorney wanting me to put a stupid TM after his name or he is threatening to sue me.
