The plaintexts often contain names, usually the names of the fairly small number of people involved in the current year’s story, and references to Harry and Jodie. There are databases of UK names around on the net, but if you are after a set of cribs, following along with the story in the weekly plaintexts should give you more useful ones than a generic list of names. It might be helpful to know what your usecase for these names is (e.g. for cribs this year, or some other fun project)?

You can have a look at the plaintexts from previous years to get a general idea of the format.
