1920's American Name Generator

Description

This is a small micro-app that produces historically accurate 1920's American names, drawn from real sources to try to make this as accurate as possible. The program generates names when you hit the space bar. Male names are on the upper bars, female names on the lower bars. You can also scroll through the names manually to hand-pick whatever names you'd like. Some names are repeated a few times as they were more popular during this period and thus will show up more when names are generated. This little application was made to be very small, both in screen size and in data size. This is being released for free, but donations are deeply appreciated.

Why Does This Exist?

I originally designed this for a Call of Cthulhu tabletop RPG campaign I was running that took place in the 1920's so admittedly I made this for myself. I'm sharing it for free to the public (though donations are always appreciated) in the case somebody else finds this useful. Enjoy!

Any names generated with this are yours to do with what you want.
