I have found a data as below in CSV format for family name. Anyway raw data has a bit over 100,600 names. Given name is a bit difficult. > If someone else were prepared to compile it, I'd be glad to i > add it. > > Jim Breen It looks like.... "sei","rank","number" "佐藤","1位",481980 "鈴木","2位",426804 "高橋","3位",353911 "田中","4位",334073 "渡辺","5位",276257 "伊藤","6位",270047 "山本","7位",269344 ...

I assume normalizing "Number" into % may be a good idea. But we may put low number ones as rare. Alternatively, -10*LOG(ratio) may provide better index covering wider range. Please think about it. I see there are some manual touch ups needed. I can help. I will write to the data producer for the license. I will mention our intent of use and ask him to put his database under the same term as yours.
