I've come across a few smaller lists/sets of names but I was wondering if there is a free data source out there that can provide a list of names (comma delimited or in a sql structure)?
I've found these two sites:
http://names.mongabay.com/most_common_surnames.htm
http://baby-names.familyeducation.com/browse/letter/a?detoured=1
However it seems you can only browse the names, not download a comprehensive file.
Doesn't the US Census Bureau provide this information?

English names are names used in, or originating in, England. In England as elsewhere in the English-speaking world, a complete name usually consists of a given name, commonly referred to as a first name, and a (most commonly patrilineal) family name or surname, also referred to as a last name.
Old English names were widely inspired by a multitude of cultural influences. They commonly include Viking, Nordic,Scandinavian, German, and French roots. English names also take inspiration from religion, familial lines, nature, occupations, physical characteristics,and so on.
I'm compiling a database that contains last names from a variety of different countries and cultures, the UK among them. The project and its datasets can be found here: https://github.com/enorvelle/NameDatabases(Dead: link, project and GitHub account)
This seems to have migrated to github.com/smashew/NameDatabases. (Sole contributer "Erik Norvelle".)
