How do I give random names?

I want to give random names to people in my virtual villagers clone. I was going to use random ("Name1","Name2", ect ect

However I figured that wouldn't work for my game with 1000 names for each gender.

What would be the best way to do this? I have no idea how dictionaries work so I was unsure about them.

I was thinking maybe arrays with 2 width (Male, female) and 1000 depth (the names). Still unsure though. Any ideas?

Yes the array idea

How would I go about doing that?

On start of layout >

set value at 0, 0 to Liam

set value at 0, 1 to Noah

set value...

set value at 0, 999 to Stone

set value at 0, 1000 to Rome

set value at 1, 0 to Olivia

set value at 1, 1 to Emma

set value...

set value at 1, 999 to Ariadne

set value at 1, 1000 to Dixie

You put all the data into a spreadsheet file in the project and then with events you load the spreadsheet data into the array, using AJAX load from file.

What do i use for the spreadsheet though? Excel?
