So now is this file (and not my edited ones) being used each year? If so, what is the best way of using my new names.txt and first names.txt files in an existing league?
Thank you.

You have to use the Re-Import Names and Ethnicities feature in Global Setup. Be thankful, by the way, that they just fixed it in a recent patch. I know I am, because that is the only way that you can change those .dat files after they have been created. Make sure the edited text files are in place in the database folder, obviously, before you re-import.
