Names for HS Institutions reference faker.name & faker.address

[allisonletts]

Feature Description

I don't like the default Faker city name generator. My testing yielded names like "South Melissamouth High School" which is a problem with the city, not with the work you did here.

I also don't love that professional suffixes (MD, PhD, DVM, DDS) are included in the names sent back. I would have expected only professional prefixes.

Proposed Solution

City: pull an actual list of cities... Names: define a separate namer that doesn't include professional suffixes, and sometimes has only initials for the first/middle name.

For cities, unlike states, Faker actually generates the names. I didn't look into the pattern it uses in any detail so I don't know what elements get fed in. That means we'd have to create our own list instead of using a generated list. That would significantly reduce the size of the generated pool. Not a deal breaker, but worth considering.

For names, it absolutely should be broken into pieces to avoid the issues when full names are used.

Here it is. They use first names as part of the city generation. I'd prefer to have a smaller list that wasn't quite so strange looking. https://github.com/joke2k/faker/blob/001ddee39c33b6b82196fe6a5ecc131bca3b964c/faker/providers/address/en_US/__init__.py#L445-L450

        "{{first_name}}{{city_suffix}}",
        "{{last_name}}{{city_suffix}}",
