Naming notes

The three-part male pattern is the structural signature of this set; no other generator in the batch uses three given-name slots. The first male slot draws from a small bank of 62, the second holds 835 and the third holds 1842, so the first slot repeats far sooner than the others. The female pattern draws two slots of 835 and 1814. This is a Republic and Empire label set, roughly the 3rd century BCE to the 5th century CE.
