That is absolutely fascinating, and I'm delighted to know it - thank you! - but very puzzled about the weird workings of the human mind sometimes.
Was this mysterious data-collector using church records, do you know? And were they local, or centralised? Because 'his entire data set' would probably be very different if he only used, say, names from Cornwall or Durham rather than London or even Birmingham.
