Let me just say this: without exaggerating, I have put thousands of hours into these name lists. They may not be perfect, but they are absolutely the best derned lists anybody has ever made for any similar purpose under the sun. I have no desire to put more research time into the last names for Americans or Hispanics as they are both satisfactory for my use. My current efforts are towards getting good first name lists for different eras, which is a whole lot more work, by the way.

However, that being said, if anyone spots errors or omissions I am happy to edit the lists. But I do not think it is too much to ask that the person submitting a name for inclusion has 1) verified that it isn't already there and 2) has done their best to determine that the name actually belongs in the list.

I have no desire to do all the research again, which is basically what you are asking me to do by handing me this list.
