Here is the list of the number of names per name set that will be in my game. Obviously African (19) stands out, but I'm a little worried about Arabic names (17) and Indian names (27). This brief list shows which sets could use some splitting up and which sets could stand to be merged together. Armenian (26) and Azerbaijani (29) are the most glaring examples, and unlike some others at the bottom, both of those countries have other name sets that would make a reasonable fit. Scottish (16) is also a good candidate to go as those names aren't that different from the regular UK set.

I used Questdog's names, which explains 39 (U.S. African-American) having about 53 players.

This list was calculated by dividing the countries into continents, and finding the percentage of the continent's population for each country. (Example Brazil counts for about 49% of South America's population). Then, the percentages of each name set for each country were entered into my spreadsheet. Then they were added up and multiplied by the number of countries in that continent*40 to simulate a 40-man roster for each country. Finally, the totals for each name set for each continent were added up and shown in this screenshot.

Obviously there are some problems with this, as Polynesian gets such a high showing because the majority of Oceania has Polynesian names. In cases where there was no ethnicity data for a country, I entered approximate values. And finally, only real independent countries were listed. Puerto Rico didn't make the cut.
