Photoslop, if you have it, is better off just for the last two steps. Use
Save To Web and drop the palette size down as far as you can.

Thank you to everyone who's responded to my post on this topic. You've
certainly come up with some positive suggestions and even evoked some
enthusiasm in me for the task of replacing those names that I'd love to use
but just can't. Now I can see it as a challenge to be creative rather than a
blocking of my playful instinct.

No-one seems to think I should be concerned about ensuring there's a spread
of genders, races, etc - or at least no-one's responded to that bit, except
Rhonda, whose suggestion I'll have to investigate. (Unless that was in
Michael's mind when he tried to rename me as Slidziw Hroxlxp. But you
cheated, Michael - my first name isn't Horward. It should be Sldziw, not
Slidziw! Also I'd like some guidance on how to pronounce the surname so
people won't think I'm clearing my throat - maybe you could send me a .wav
file.)

Now I'm faced with the challenge of either getting the software to display
the names I invent or editing the output it's now producing, with Photoshop
or whatever.
