... and much appreciated.
If you want to make my part of the job really easy, format the names as in this example:
Michael - (m) "who is like God?" (Hebrew)
Mike - (m) Short form of [Michael ]
Michaela - (f) Feminine form of [Michael ]
Kim - (f,m) ...
etc.
Surround the names that you are linking to with [square brackets].
Thanks!

Regarding Esperanto names...
On the 'net, Esperantists regularly substitute the letter "x" following a letter in an Esperanto word which would normally require a circumflex or breve over the letter.
Can you put the circumflex and/or breve back into the word, if I include a note with each submitted entry, indicating over which letter the accent mark belongs? I know you've been doing other accent marks for names on your site.
And, yes, there really do exist bona fide Esperanto names. :) Many are "esperantized" versions of names common to most European nations, such as John (Johano), Susan (Suzana), Michael (Mihxaelo, Mikaelo, Mikelo), Mary (Maria, Amara), etc. But there are also quite a few names which Esperantists have taken for themselves or have given to their children, which are actually Esperanto words, such as Aminda (lovable), Amika (friendly), and Miela (honey-sweet).

Nan,
If you would like to submit Esperanto names that would be great.
Regarding accents: I can and will do circumflexes but not breves. For a complete list of the accents possible in HTML see this page:
