Raw list of person names

Question

I need to have a long list of people names ("Robert", "Jeniffer", "Andrew", etc.)

How long? 100 will be sort of okay, but thousands would be better.

I'd like it raw, not in an HTML webpage or something, so I can easily import it to my code.

Answer 1

• http://deron.meranda.us/data/census-dist-female-first.txt (4275 entries)

• http://deron.meranda.us/data/census-dist-male-first.txt (1219 entries)

• male and female names combined: http://deron.meranda.us/data/census-derived-all-first.txt

To format it nicely:

$ curl http://deron.meranda.us/data/census-dist-female-first.txt | \
   awk '{print $1}'

Answer 2

Lots of word lists on this page, including several lists of names.
