It has links for the new world_default file and the older one for use with OOTP19 and OOTP20.
Here is my first version of a complete names database to cover all countries, with 181 names sets.
My goal is to provide realistic names for an OOTP universe, no matter what countries you add to your leagues. Here is a list of the name sets I used:
OOTP19_Names_Database_v1.txt
I've included most of the sets that come with the game, although I've vastly expanded most of them, and added 140 new sets (some of which have been posted already). Most of this is my own work, although I have incorporated some names from user-created sets into this master list (especially ohv's excellent Finnish name set, which I couldn't improve on).
The files are too large to host here, so here's the links:

http://www.mediafire.com/file/kyd9pe...names.txt/file
http://www.mediafire.com/file/2hcnu1...OTP19.xml/file
Just download the 3 files and overwrite the files in the /database directory (make backups first!). You will have to start a new game to make them work correctly.
If you use this file set, please provide feedback if you think the sets/xml file can be improved; I plan to update and add some new sets in the future.
NOTES
My principle guiding the creation of these sets is 90% realism, 5% playability and 5% fun. I've used data when available. I've gathered most of the names from lists of sports teams, so most of the names come from males in the 18-40 group, which provide good results. I've tried to make all the sets large enough to generate names for at least a small league (100k first/last names combinations minimum) but most larger countries have at least 1 million possible combinations.
I don't play with a nickname file, so I incorporated some nicknames into the first names lists.
