OK, I constantly have this "problem" while I'm testing software that I've developed so I thought I'd put it out to the SB fraternity and see what you come up with.
I often need a number of names to use as test values in this system I'm developing. I need names that will clearly stand out from all the other names in there so what I usually do is to pick movie characters. It also helps when the surname and first name starts on the same letter so regular candidates are Charlie Chaplin, Donny Darko, Mickey Mouse etc.
So I thought I'd put this challenge out to the forum so, in future, I will hopefully have a comprehensive list to draw from
Remember the rules, only two of them (plus two bonus rules):
1. The first name and last name must both start on the same letter of the alphabet
2. The combination of first name and last name must stand out from a larger list containing ordinary names like John Smith and Grant Geoffrey (remember some ordinary names also comply to rule 1.
And you get bonus points if your name complies to the above and either or both of these:
1. The name belongs to a familiar movie character, historical figure, mythical figure etc.
2. The first name rhymes with the last name - this one scores you super bonus points.
Don't worry about sticking to alphabetical order. If you feel you have a good one for a letter way down the alphabet, go for it.
