Names from Africa.
I found a whole bunch of names in South Africa, Lesotho, Namibia, Mozambique and Botswana that are not on the list of names.

Not clear if these are names in use by the entire population, or by a specific though unspecified age group.

I think that the younger generations of South Africans use these names more than the older generations. It did say that the names were used in 2014 in the forebears websites.

To be fair, not all of the younger generations in South Africa use these names. They just as often use the Biblical and other culture names.
