(I’m stealing this idea, and link, from Wintertale—-she did a game like this last month and I really liked it.)
http://www.dave-reed.com/Nifty/randSeq.htmlUse the link above to generate random letter sequences of 2 or 3 letters (2 letters for a fn and one mn, 3 letters for a fn and 2 mn’s). You'll need 8 pairs/sets.
Then pick a name from the namebank to go with each initial (for example, if you get AE for one of the sons, you can name him Alistair Emmett). Most of these are favorites of mine, btw.
You can make as many families as you’d like.
