I wonder what kind of validity checks they have.
e.g. a lot of first/last names cannot be paired together because they would belong to different religions/ethnicities.
Probably they're sticking with just Anglosaxon names where this is far less of a problem than Middle East/India ones.
- coolreader18 6y ago> Probably they're sticking with just Anglo-Saxon names I don't think so, I got "Johanna Nagata", and Nagata is apparently a Japanese surname.
- dredmorbius 6y agoLess "cannot" and more "are rarely". I've encountered a few odd mixes personally. There are sources (US SSN and census especially) of first and last name frequency by decade, though not so much first/last pairings. Gender also.
- sn_master 6y agoIn Muslim countries, people who switch religions to/from Christianity have to change their first names if its the name of prophet/saint in the other religion.
