I have tried some leagues so far, not a whole bunch of testing.

Great data base. From what I saw, the first names fit the era perfectly.

I haven't had a chance to look at in great detail, but did you include a lot of the 'nickname' first names from the early 1900's? I saw Doc when I took a quick glance at the league news, and I think Babe is included too.

An occasional Chief, Cap and Deacon would be great. Other nicknames would be nice, but I also know from fiddling around with the names in prior versions that it is easy to get too many of the nickname-first names to show up too.
