Roll a six-sided die once for each first & middle name; whichever number you get corresponds to the namebank you select that name from. Either use the die at this link:
http://www.bgfl.org/bgfl/custom/resources_ftp/client_ftp/ks1/maths/dice/ or, if that doesn’t work (it doesn’t for me) use the random integer generator at:
http://www.random.org/integers/.
All namebanks are composed of names of American counties.
