names.txt and first_names.txt

I created my own names.txt and first_names.txt and replaced the same.named files in my database folder. I start a new game, and names I've eliminated in my new files are being used in the game.

Does the game use an internal names database that is inaccessible? It seems like it doesn't follow the new files I dropped in, as I found names I deleted ten years into the sim I made.

Is there a way to edit/replace the default names.txt and first_names.txt, I.e. the overall human name database? EDIT - I know of both database folders in the user folder and in the program files folder, I have replaced both with no success.
