Hey, can you do the same for Bosnia and Herzegovina? Should be something like 40% of Bosniak's names, 30% Serbian and 30% Croatian... Instead of that, we have a player called Buenaventura Mellilli in our NT, I don't know from which county that name comes... I have a player called Julio Maria Regueiro, I suppose that's Spanish name... I think right now there are at least 20% of foreign names there... I'll show you some examples now:
(3233264)
(4801660) what a funny name :)
(2627269)
And so on...

And as you can see, there are a lot of different races, which isn't representative... 99.99% of people in BiH are white... I can't remember the politically correct word now :)

White is not politically incorrect. The other term you're thinking of is probably Caucasian

Yes, Bosnia and Herzegovina is drawing from some Spanish and mixed European name lists that are intended for South America. Bevzil, I am sending you a bb-mail, so that you can help me sort a few things out.

Hehe, I see in Estonian list also very uncommon names. So I wondered many times following the match in match viewer: is this his newly bought super star from Oceania, although this is something like first games of the new team. Later I check the player(s) and they're all true Estonians:) And there's a lot such players.
Hopefully we will have also DB update soon.

These seem to be, in order: Estonian, British(?), Danish(?), and Greek. The last 3 don't seem to belong in any Estonian name base.

The second one doesn't seem to be British from some of the first names, but I'm not entirely sure.

The ones you probably have in mind look Irish/Welsh to me, but I am no expert myself. Maybe a UK native can confirm?

It will be great when LA´s will be able to edit database of their native country. In slovakia, we are experiencing, that all names which are supposed to include "č" include olny "c". We are OK with it right now, but it will be great if we could change it.

How high it is in your priority list?
