Re: What kind of names do you make up?

[Mary Deaton <m_deaton -at- KWARE -dot- COM>]

Even dead actors and baseball players have estates who may control the use
of their name and image. I would avoid any known person. You can use the web
to look up first names and last names and then randomly link them to each
other. If you can document you did it this way, you are protected from any
liability in the event you use a real persons name.

The email program of one of our esteemed list members
is having a bad hair day, so she asked that I forward
her response to this question to the list:

BTW...I've received many imaginative responses to this
question (pets, baseball players, old boysfriends,
dead actors, etc.)...I'll be summarizing the responses
in a couple of days.
