In a previous post, I mentioned I could guess middle names… well, I have also been learning visual basic so I wanted to turn this into a program for windows. So my questions is as follows:

Where to obtain a list of female given names that is so large it’s near complete? This list should be “de-duped” thus Lynn is associated as lyn or lynne, etc. then I can manually enter all the middle name info by hand

But at least having a ridiculously large list of given names would cut my work in half.

I know my idea is flawed because: 1) American names are not the only name set 2) creative spellings can create a lot of duplicates 3) etc.

But let’s start with american name set and add more from there
