ArchivesNames deleted in the previous update
Hi !!!
Congratulations to you for every update! I love names and I love seeing them dignified.
I have few questions: why were these names deleted? What is their meaning?
ANDĚL (m)
BALTASAR (2) (m)
DWYN (m)
FARRAN (m)
GARDEN (f)
GUTXI (m)
IMRUS (m)
IRMUSKA (f)
KAJ (2) (f)
Why aren't they added in the submitted database? If they were good for the main database so they can be saved.

Baltasar (2) and Kaj (2) were merged into the (1) entries. The others were removed from the main database because they are very rare and/or dubious (e.g. Dwyn). Some of them could probably be added to the submitted DB.
Here they are from my backup:
ANDĚL - Czech form of [ANGEL].
(m) (cze) /ˈan.ɟɛl/ ->[ANGELUS]
DWYN - Meaning unknown. This was the name of the Celtic god of love. {meaning:? theme:love}
(m) (cel-myth)
FARRAN - From an English surname that was derived from Old French ferrant meaning "#iron grey". {theme:metal}
(m) (eng[r]) /ˈfæɹ.ən/
GARDEN - Means "#transparent, clear" in Basque. {theme:glass}
(f) (bas)
GUTXI - Possibly means "#little{?}" in Basque.
(m) (bas)
IMRUS - Diminutive of [IMRE].
(m) (hun) ->dimin,[IMRE]
IRMUSKA - Hungarian diminutive of [IRMA].
(f) (hun[r]) /*EER-moosh-kaw/ ->dimin,[IRMA]

Agreed! :)
If the sole reason for the removal of a name is it being too uncommon or rare, but everything else about the name is valid and correct (such as the spelling and etymology), then the name should be automatically moved straight to the Submitted Names Database.
It would be somewhat similar to how editors are currently able to move information from submitted names to the "Comments" section of entries in the main database. The purpose behind that is virtually the same, namely the preservation of information.
