Last names look okay, though.
Now, here's what's weird. When I clicked on "re-import names", nothing happened. No loading or anything. I replaced the original first name file, and again clicked on "re-import." It then took about 20 minutes to load the names.
So, I think something is screwy here. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but from what I see, the first names file is not working correctly.
It looks fantastic though and I can't wait to use it!
Disclaimer: I just realized you said this was for OOTPX. I'm using v9. I didn't think that would make a difference, but I could be wrong.

The re-import names function is reputedly a little hinky.
What I've done as a workaround is this:
First, replace the name files you have with the name files you want to use (backing up the originals if you like).
Second, create a new game. Don't spend any time on the league setup; just have OOTP create the new game.
Third, exit OOTP.
Fourth, go into the new game, and find the name files that OOTP generated for that game. Copy them.
Fifth, paste the name files created for the new game into the one you're already playing.
At that point, the old game should work fine with the new names. You can do whatever you like with the new game you created, but I always delete mine.
It's a little more involved than using the re-import names feature, but it works all the time, which that particular feature doesn't, for some reason.
