Re: So Many Omissions
Oh, I forgot to add a comment about my names site. Although, I only have about 10,000 names on my site, I could have many more if I included nicknames and alternate spellings of names. I think this is somewhat of a con. I do include alternate spellings of the same name if they are equally accepted and used (Katherine & Catherine) and nicknames if they are commonly used as names such as Terry, Peggy, Maggie, etc. I have been to some site which have 10 or more spells of the same name and every nickname is included, sometimes even alternative spells of those (Mandy, Mandi, Mandee, Mandie, Mandye) I think a lot of sites do this because they don't have a very extensive database of names. And before anyone gets indignant and writes me a nasty response, I am not talking about BTN, but Kabalarians are famous for this.
