@georgia these may be targetted at a particular language…

@lanodan Wiktionary is great for researching a particular name, but I don’t see a convenient list there

@mira It's a big walk but there's categories: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Category:Given_names_by_language

@xarvos @mira Yeah and it's a pain in the ass to have proper information for breton given names, language that was critically endangered (and still is seriously endangered…) and most names weren't legal in France for a serious while.
In fact there was still drama ~10 years ago about Fañch due to it's tilde.
