Thanks, yes, I did spot that list. The reason I started this thread instead of just cribbing directly from it was to get an international opinion on which of the names were expected and actually in use. =)

You can probably add a lot of these to your list.

Elim is generally considered a female name. Egyptian if I'm not mistaken. The rest are male.

for reasons too dorky to elaborate on here I'm compiling a list of four letter names. What have I missed?
(male)
Adam Alan Alex Andy Aziz Bill Brad Chad Dave Dean Emil Enzo Eric Erik Evan
Finn Fred Gary Hans Hugo Igor Ilja Ivan Jack Jake Jens Joel John Jose Juan
Lars Leon Liam Luca Luis Luke Nate Neil Nick Noah Noel Olaf Omar Otto Owen
Paul Pete Phil Rhys Ross Ryan Sean Stan Theo Todd Tony Vlad Yuri Zack
+Bart Burt Carl Dirk Doug Earl Esau Ezra Greg Hugh Iain Jeff
Joey Mark Mike Mick Rick Sven Toby Will
(female)
Alba Andi Anna Anne Cass Cloe Dana Dora Elen Ella Emma Erin Faye Gaia Gina
Gwen Hina Hope Ilsa Inge Jade Jane Jess Jill Joan June Kate Kaye Lara Leah
Lena Lily Lisa Lucy Lulu Luna Mary Miyu Nina Nora Olga Rita Roni Rose Ruby
Sara Suzi Tara Tess Tina Toni Yael Zoey
+Dawn Edna Elim Enid Jean Judy Kaya Lana Lois Lori Mona Ruth
(surnames - I need lots more of these)
Bell Berg Chan Chen Choi Cook Cruz Dias Eder Fuji Gray Haas Hall Hill Jung
Katz Kerr Khan King Koch Lane Lang Levy Lima Long Mori Pace Park Reed Ross
Roux Ruiz Ryan Sato Smit Song Wang Ward Wolf Wong Wood Zhao
+Barr Boyd Bush Cole Kant Legg Lowe Rice Rowe
a few pointers:
if a name would be rendered unreadable by having its diacriticals removed (ex. João) then I don't need it - I'm using alphabet characters only
if you have two very similar ones (ex. Olaf, Olav) then submit the one you think is most common
don't submit anything unnecessarily rare - I'm trying to strike a balance between recognisability and exhaustiveness.
the ones after the "+" are ones added since I posted this
any suggestions?
