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?

Very interesting.

I guess 92% for Estonian names is okey.
The other sources you brought out are too much off our actual population. Basically we don't have here Greek and German names at all. Maybe some little percentage of some English names.
Other percentage should be something like this: 5% Russian, 2% Finnish, 1% English.
In fact there's more Russians here, but I prefer Estonian names and in basketball here's not much Russian names anyway.

PS. Are names in countries also generated from different first and last name sources? For example Estonian first name and Finnish last name.

Looking at the demographics data on wikipedia, it looks like the non-Estonian names should be primarily Russian.

I've edited that in the database, although I'm still a bit curious what that other population was composed of.

This is correct, Russians and Estonians are the two major ethnic groups there. Hopefully our Estonian colleagues will stop by to let you know whether they're happy with the new situation.

By the way, my money is still on Irish/Welsh ;)
