Third, in noodling around the interwebs, it appears that there's no central statistical agency in Australia for recording names. That job is left to the states, so if you wanted to compile your own nameset you'd have to check out each state's database. Even then, though, you might have limited luck. I was only able to find sites listing the top 100 names for certain states. You may have better luck with the Australian names that are included in Dogzilla's world names database, which is posted in the names & nations mod subforum.

Thanks for that. Down here there are so many blokes called Bruce or Wayne the country should be called Batman...
