This is the repo for uinames.com. Feel free to contribute to the project by adding names. Keep in mind that more isn't better. Quality over quantity. Quality being the most common/popular names in a country.

The Algorithm

When the option to pick a country at random is selected, a country will be picked based on the amount of possible name-combinations for that country. A country with more names is more likely to be picked, and countries with less names are less likely to be picked. I propose having a maximum of 100 male names, 100 female names and 300 last names per country. That's 60.000 possible combinations per country.

The Layout (JSON)

[
  [
    {"country":"Example"},
    ["Male","Names"],
    ["Female","Names"],
    ["Last","Names"]
  ],
  [etc]
]
