The final names Game

It's year 2050, and the practice of baby naming is in flames. The country of Canada has become overloaded with so many names like Jaxsyn, Braylynn, Oakleigh, McKynzi, and Jream that the entire system has broken!
Canada needs your help. To save the future of names as we know it, the Canadian government has devised a plan- they need your help to make a short (10-50) fixed list of names that parents must pick from (1 different lists for both genders). They can only name their children a name from this list, but of course people will still be allowed to go by nicknames.

Good luck!

I looked primarily for longer names with multiple potential nicknames for the greatest efficiency, made sure every letter was represented, and then added in whatever I felt like
