title: Database or List of English First and Last Names
body: <p>I've come across a few smaller lists/sets of names but I was wondering if there is a free data source out there that can provide a list of names (comma delimited or in a sql structure)?</p>
  
  <p>I've found these two sites:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://names.mongabay.com/most_common_surnames.htm" rel="noreferrer">http://names.mongabay.com/most_common_surnames.htm</a></p>
  
  <p><a href="http://baby-names.familyeducation.com/browse/letter/a?detoured=1" rel="noreferrer">http://baby-names.familyeducation.com/browse/letter/a?detoured=1</a></p>
  
  <p>However it seems you can only browse the names, not download a comprehensive file.</p>
  
  <p>Doesn't the US Census Bureau provide this information?</p>
