This reminds me of the time I needed to generate some names for testing, and I simply combined the Social Security list of most common first and last names at random. It turns out that the vast majority of possible name combinations are terrible. Not quite "Sleve McDichael" from the notorious Super Famicon game, but close.
Like this, I could read through a whole page of names before finding one that scans. Bennett Takeshita, e.g., is effectively unpronounceable.
