I've recently found myself using Faker for some test data to provide a demonstration system and found that the names which were being generated in most cases, weren't names which are commonly used in the UK.
I've created a simple Person class for the UK.
Data for forenames came from ONS female names here and male names here - I used the data from 2003 and 2013.
I also used some of the names already in the en_US locale which were relevant to a UK audience.
For surnames, I found a list here which seemed to reflect usage well.
I haven't added any tests as I've only changed the contents of the arrays, but if there's anything else I should be doing let me know. I've not made an open source contribution before, and I wasn't entirely sure if I should be submitting this as none of the other EN locales have specific Person providers (other than the default en_GB).
