Not wanting to step on your toes, but some of the first names are terrible (granted - there are quite a few non-ethnic German names floating around...).

Examples:
  • Alfinus
  • Alrik
  • Annik
  • Arist
  • Ascan

And that's just A. Are you sure there wasn't a high fantasy name generator involved? ;-)

The good news: The most common names of `90 and `95 are in there - and properly weighted.

Maybe it's better to concentrate on a file using just those.

My saving grace: I did a file German names file for my European league last year and sent it to the guy who did the alternative names for OOTP (questdog?). Maybe you want to look into those, Fyran? (I am at work and don't have them handy).
