Katy Perry aykm? Should we put Taylor Dayne too? Or Tiffany, of the mononym?
Some of these people are just not famous for anything real, and don't deserve to be on a namesakes list. It's possible very few people will remember them in 20 years.If you want, you can leave comments on each name with information about namesakes. Click the "contribute" button on the name's definition page. You will probably find that others have already mentioned most famous bearers on the name comment pages. Perry is mentioned on the Katy comment page as of 2008.

Some names don't really need to have a list of namesakes because they are so common. It also gets tricky when you try to decide who is 'famous enough' to be listed as a namesake. Then there are the "Who are they?" ones that are known in one country but not in another, so the readers have to go to Wikipedia to find out more because they're curious.

Surely each of them was only left out once :)If you want them included, it is your pleasure and privilege to contact Mike Campbell yourself, giving a, preferably alphabetic, list of names and a brief (one or two sentences max) bio or explanation. And Mike will include such of them as he sees fit. It isn't anything we can or would do.

The Namesakes section would need to be constantly updated to keep everyone on earth who is famous in some way or another on the list. The only person, that I am aware, that has access to update it is Mike C and he has a life beyond this website. I think most people know who the people are on the list you named, they just haven't been added.
