   Thanks for the comment.

   I'm not sure I understand the way in which you want the function to produce results.

   When I run your first example

   set.seed(1842)
   randomNames(2, which.names = "both", return.complete.data = T)
   

   I get

   > set.seed(1842)
   > randomNames(2, which.names = "both", return.complete.data = T)
      gender ethnicity first_name   last_name
   1:      0         6    Annnees al-Muhammad
   2:      1         6      Suhaa    el-Basha
   

   If I run it again I get the same thing.

   > set.seed(1842)
   > randomNames(2, which.names = "both", return.complete.data = T)
      gender ethnicity first_name   last_name
   1:      0         6    Annnees al-Muhammad
   2:      1         6      Suhaa    el-Basha
   

   I'm not getting a different person for the second row of the dataframe. Can you clarify?
