New Irish name set

Dogzilla · 10-23-2006, 08:33 PM

I made a new Irish name set and I'm sharing it with anyone else who is interested.

names_18.txt

first_names_18.txt

I would first like to say the name sets included with the game are, for the most part, excellent. The Irish set, however, had some weaknesses. Out of the 10 most commom names, 6 were missing including such classics as Sullivan, Kelly, and O'Reilly. I added some to make sure all of the top 300 were included, got rid of some of the stranger ones, and weighted the list as best I could without detailed cencus data.

Present day. I don't have any detailed census data, other than a top 100 list. Someone from Ireland could probably tweak the weighting of the names to be a lot more accurate than I could. There's a few nicknames and silly names in there as well, so if you're trying to get the most realistic set, you might want to edit it a bit.
