I would be surprised if there was one out there.  Go to websites and get 
lists of names and make a file.  You could use baby names list for the 
first names.  read them into an array and do something like this:


fnames = ["Adam", "Benjamin", "Caleb", "Daniel", "Frank", "Gideon"]
lnames = ["Smith", "Jones", "Washington", "Jefferson", "Gardener", 
"Cooper"]
1_000_000.times do
  name = fnames[rand(6)] + lnames[rand(6)] + "@foobar.com"
  puts name #or whatever you want to do with the name.
end
