Hi. Are you sure all these words have actual real-world usage outside of word lists? Equinox ◑ 17:04, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

Given names
You're not likely to read this any more, but I'll explain my changes to other editors. You have added c. 700 given names, apparently from the U.S. Social Security lists, from the top 1000 male and female names not in the Wiktionary yet, mostly from the 2000-2015 and 1880s-1900s. Many of the names are very rare. There's no time to rfv 700 names, so I've used common sense in cleaning up. It's true that 10 males were called Edith in 1904, but that could be a statistical error (wrong gender recorded, name misspelled). Middle names are missing, so "David" as a female name will include David Ann, David Lynn, etc. There is a Spanish-speaking minority in the US, so top 1000 will naturally include the most common Spanish names, particularly those popular in Mexico (as Guadalupe). That doesn't make them English. The language of a name is not defined by country of birth. Diacritics and upper/lower case is not indicated, so Mckenzie or Mckinley are theoretic spellings.--Makaokalani (talk) 09:37, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
