ArchivesRare name proof
If you have a friend(or other people you know) who have a very rare name, there’s no reliable website to find, and your name got deleted eventually. How can you prove this name is used by real people and let the editors believe?
Also, if you wanna to correct an existing name, just send all editors a private message. I find out some name’s discussion never have a response.

Do NOT send all editors a private message. Its considered spam and really inconsiderate.
Instead, submit on this page under "Correct an existing given name." https://www.behindthename.com/submit/submit

I submitted the name Chantilly, which I found in the US Beyond (https://www.behindthename.com/top/beyond?name=chantilly&gender=&type=sample), but Frollein Gladys deleted it.
I've actually typed many names (and words) in the US Beyond to see whether or not they had any usage. I've found quite a few surprises. For example, in 2012 five boys were given the name Naruto.

For the past eight or nine years we've been trying to provide sources for every submission. I must have missed the name in the US Beyond stats, my bad.
However, the burden of proof is generally on the submitter. So please provide sources for your submissions, especially for rare names.

Maybe you should put this name and US beyond results in notes, and actually I think it come from the place name, and try to put all websites that have this name(including forebears) in notes, and submit lot of times. I think there’s no reason this name doesn’t exist.

Submitting a name "lot of times" is akin to trolling. And yes, for rare names you are supposed to provide sources; however, they should be reliable ones, not just generic baby name websites. Please re-read the guidelines for submitting names.

If the name is rare and there is no "proof" of usage then its probably too rare to be in the database. For instance, one person may have the name and some people would see that as an invasion of their privacy. Even the Social Security Administration won't list usages like that for reasons of privacy.
I wouldn't send a private message to all editors. Its unnecessary and kind of spammy. Please don't do that.
