Where to find ordered list of the most common proper nouns in English (including names)?

It is very easy to find ordered lists of the 100, 500 or even more most common words in the English language. But I have had 0 luck finding more than a few examples of proper nouns. I am making an English language learning program and I need such an ordered list. I want it to include proper names, and multi-word elements eg: The Unites States of America The Statue of Liberty Paris Rome John Mary Sesame Street University of Utah etc I would like at least the most common 500, but I'd settle for the most common 100. I'm thinking such a list must exist, but maybe my search parameters are invalid. Any help is appreciated!

1. I think any proper noun will be a name, either of a person, a city, a building, a street, etc. If you will type in "100 most common proper noun," you will get results.
2. This link for the 3000 most common words includes some proper names, but you have to search for them.
