Guidelines for adding Names:

- Try to avoid adding too many names of famous people, particularly if that name is not actually common at all in normal society.

- It's most important to get names that many people have, however it's alright to also have some uncommon names to mix it up a bit, just makes sure these are names that exist in real life and don't just belong to a tiny minority.

- Make sure the Country is spelt correctly and has a capital letter, this makes things neater and easier when collating it.

- If you don't like a name or want to discuss it further, make a note in the Feedback column and post on this thread, if you want to make a note on the name you are adding (like a region for countries where PCM allows that), add it in the Additional Notes column.

- It's preferably that you do not add names unless you are certain they should be in the DB, if you know nothing about names from a country, don't begin listing the names of top cyclists or Baby Names you've searched up or anything as they don't necessarily reflect reality.

- Most importantly however is that we deal with Cyanide's biggest flaw, which is that they often have a lot of weird names arising from Names of other cultures. An example of this is that, in Australia, Greek Names are quite common, people with Greek Last names and Greek First Names, or Greek Last Names and Australian First Names are common, however, somebody having a Greek First Name and Australian Last Name is pretty rare, in a case like this, only add First Names that are compatible with the vast majority of Last Names for their nation and Vice Versa! By that I mean, don't add a first name which only makes sense with 1 or 2 last names and not the rest.

Decided that I wanted to replace my Eric the Eel pic and the athletics world championships looked like the perfect opportunity to use LM for it
