I just make up some common-enough names, making sure to represent different
ethnicities and using men's and women's names. I have a hard time believing
that the thousands of Jose Garcias, Jane Williamses, and such are going to
come sue lil' ol' me for using their names in the manual. I also make up
realistic-sounding addresses and business names, with completely bogus (but
approximately correct) ZIP codes and the local information number (such as
(888) 555-1212).
