Help with fake names issue

[Cindy Daoust <cynthiadaoust -at- gmail -dot- com>]

Friends,

I have been provided with a list of acceptable names to use in a
training project that includes things like "Deadlines, Expects Many,"
"Flare, Shiny Red" and "Paint, Many Colors."

As an alternative, I presented a list of names like "Sarah Bellum,"
"Les Payne," and "Jean Poole" (it's a medical application) and most
people liked it. But there is an objection that if it could possibly
be a name of someone anywhere that it can't be used.

Someone pointed out that if Beyonce can name her daughter "Blue Ivy"
that nothing can be ruled out for a name. But some are still fearful
of consequences.

I feel the users will be distracted by these names.

Any advice on how to argue successfully in case of a better set of
names would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

P.S. Back on the list after a few years off in the non-profit sector.
Nice to be back.
