While looking for different character names I came across this website that has one of the largest databases I've ever seen with names sorted by gender and ethnicity, along with some other more specific categories:

http://www.20000-names.com/
 
wow!
with this we have no problem for the name of each single person that live in the city where the player live LOL😀
 
Ugh... please, somebody delete the italian section!

Sent shivers down my spine!

Many of those names are completely off.



Oh well, I could send them a mail and pester the webmaster myself! 😀



EDIT:

Hey, thanks for the link, Cheshire. 🙂

LOL what is off about them, K? Are they not names are are they just really bad names?
Thanks to you, CC for the link 😀 😀
 
Some are correct; other are slightly off. Others, completely made up, or obsolete.

Let me explain:

Alberto, not Aberto - just as it is John, not Jhon...
Ambrogio, not Ambrosi - and nobody is gonna be name like that, by now.
Ermanno, not Armanno.
Arrigo? Well, uncommon. Alrigo or Aroghetto? Nope. Not in XXI century.


The female names are even funnier.

Agnola? C'mon! It's not Renaissance anymore.
Aida?? ALONZA!? Lonza is a piece of HAM!
Andreanna? Are they daft? Andrea is a male name - and nobody is likely to use it for a female - and even then, it would be Andreina!

Oh, and please... Carmela... Surviving Carmelas are so ashamed of that old-fashioned, traditionally southern name, they usually camouflage it as best as they can!
Cara, Carina, Mela, Melina... but not Carmela anymore!


Point is: the guys who typed that never double checked the names for typos.
Second, they threw in names from Opera plays - seriously, were they thinking self-respecting parents would name their first son "Adelchi"!

Sure, parents can be cruel... but it's like naming your child Algernon or something.


Oh well. 🙂
 
Andrea is a boy's name? LOL
Wonder what non-English speaking people throw around as being American names?
 
Sure it is - it is derived from Aner/Andros [man], and Andreia [manlihood], thus it means "manly", "brave", in Greek.

For some reasons, in Anglosaxon langs it split into a male Andreas/Andrew form, and a female, Andrea, form.


With "American" name it is probably less of an issue, since America is made up by people from all over the world - so almost any regional name is viable.

Besides, we get a lot of American products - movies, novels, videogames - so we are "fairly" familiar with trans-ocean stuff.


The only prob, over continental Europe is, we usually need stuff dubbed, so we never are on the edge - dubbing whole seasons usually takes about 6/12 months or so.

But we usually get the to see some of the most popular series; for example, huge hits here are JAG, CSI and NCIS.

Only German series/movies can contend with over-seas productions, to a very limited extent.

hahahahaha yeah...we rock 😛 😛
I've spoken with lots of Brits before and they seem to watch a LOT of our tv programs as well. It isn't a 2-way exchange though as we never get British tv shows except for maybe some obscure old comedies on local access channels. And on the same line we never get tv shows from other nations either except for on "the Spanish channel" or "the Italian channel" which don't even run 24 hours long.
Even British or other foreign movies are an oddity. Strange...
Hope you werent expecting a point cause I don't have one. 😛 Just an observation.
 
This can be rated as the first official crazy topic of all the game forum 😀 we need a general section to talk about other things not related to the game? looool 😀😀😀

anyway i've seen some pages...and is not so bad 😉 of course if i want to use an Italian name i have no problem 2 find a decent one, but the other sections was very interesting 😛

Welcome back K 😀 long time no see you here 😉
 
Vero; ho messo da parte il disegno fetish per un po'.
Speravo di ricominciare, ma evidentemente non sono sereno. 😉
 
torna a surriento K! questo gruppo aspetta a te! 😀

LOL🙂 i don't know where do you live but i think that you know the classical neapolitan songs ^_^
 
Come direbbero a Partenope: ma stiamo a pazzià?

😉
