I suggested that she go with something ultra-generic so that it would be harder for people to pick the kid out of a database by name. But she can't just go with a "Jane" or "Mary" since the surname is ethnic enough that it would actually make the name stand out to combine it with such a generic white person's first name. So I would like to find out the most common first names for girls with her surname. The US Census provides name lists, but not full names, just last names and separately just first names. Is there anywhere else I can get frequency information on full names?"
