This is the updated version of my old LName function.
I changed the name to Get-SNames instead of Get-LNames because of
that I know that the correct name is not Last Name and It should be Surname instead.
I use It in my create AD lab script and in a couple of other scripts when I
need “real” peoples name.
My thought have been to update It so that I can use names from other countries
as well.
So I came up with an updated version of the function that can create
a list from USA and It can also create a list from Sweden, as It could
before.
![]()
The Swedish list is taken from The Gothenburg University
![]()
The US list is taken from mongabay.com’s name site
I have done some changes to the Swedish list as well.
The list is now sorted and saved as UTF-8. The UTF-8 part is for viewing and using names that contains Swedish letters å ä and ö.
The function can be downloaded from here.
