Here's the LibreOffice's spreadsheet that on every refresh (ctrl+shift+F9 in LibreOffice Calc) generates 10 pairs of male first name + second name, 10 pairs of female first name + second name and 10 occupations. All data (except for several occupations) is from San Diego directory for 1925. It's not finished, but at least it's something :)

It doesn't account for names frequency, so you'll get as many Johns as Siegfrieds. And, of course, you'll get pairs like Spanish first name + Chinese second name (I don't know if it's possible to "fix" that)

Because I'm not from US and English is not my native language, I'm sure that there are some typos and errors in names. Sorry for that.

I hope you'll find it useful.

  1. Actually seems really useful for Cthulhu, or anything with a 1920s historical basis. Thanks :-)

  2. Zachary Kline well, I started this when was thinking about playing in the style of "The Untouchables", so you're right.
