Yes me, but it is my own one which I have created
from a (commercial) CD...

do not know anything about capitalization...

I do not know a free database but you can do something
your own with a telephone number CD... 

It took me arround 5 weesks to get the 27 compressed
650 MByte CD's giving out the First- and Family-Names.

I think, you have do it yourself...

ATTENTION:  You need Country/Language specific lists...
            (Someone was talking about this in the thread)


   Anyway, why not reject any $USER input, which has
           only CAPITALS/SMALL LETTERS?
