James is pretty cool. But interesting that there are several names that are very uncommon like Lyndon, Woodrow, Millard and Zachary.

Thank you all for your feedback.

I have made some adjustments.

If anyone sees any other inaccuracies, please advise and I will correct.

After all, we have to be accurate on this forum, now don't we.  Smiley
