Finnish nameset
Hi,
I've been toying long time starting a fictional league based on my homecountry but I always have stopped when I remember how lackluster the finnish nameset is in the game (and in the questdogs otherwise EXCELLENT nameset). Well luckily some parts of the finnish census data is now shared in easier format to edit so I thought what the hell.. I'll make a one myself. Though maybe i'm only person who would use this in OOTP, I think this could be also used in FHM (country code is different I guess).
The lastname file is quite complete as it contains 11284 most common lastnames (though there might be some weird ones that should still be removed / the amount might be little overkill) compared to 555 in original file.
Creating first name file was a bit more difficult as I only got data for first names of all the living people, and as you can imagine the names have changed quite a bit for example since 1980 when I was born. But I used that data and the census webpage to approximate "correct" values for finnish first names born since 1980s. I weighted last 10 years bit more so some results are quite interesting but nevertheless this file is much better than the original. (999 vs 231 names).
There are still quite a bit swedish/russian origin names and some really uncommon ones, that I might later remove. but I wanted to share my initial version if someone wants to try it out.
