Default Revised SystemNames.txt

When I revised the SystemNames.txt included in the FQM to add a few names in my own Version of that file, I found and removed more than 10,000 repeated names.
Only a few hundred of my names weren’t already included, and as I didn’t want to post a smaller file I random generated a few more that I added at the end. (initially 25,000 but I removed about 180 of them because they were already included)
(credit goes to Fyron and Locutus)
So here you have my final file has more than 65,000 names!!

Wait... was that 10,000 repeated names in the FQM file, or 10,000 names that were in both FQM and your file?

Also, mind if I use this new file in FQM?

But my question - will this get rid of the ugly names that plague FQM? Anyone want to inhabit Carlpilcher?

I didn't take the time to revise the long list of random generated names I added to the end. I think it's the longest list of random names I've ever generated.
Something funny I found now is the surprising number of words that actually mean something among that list, most are simple monosilabic words, such as 'Mom' and 'Dad', longer words are less likely to be generated by accident, although I found some longer words such as 'Closed' or 'Thicker'.
In most cases these words don't sound too bad, and there are some that sound quite cool and I'd like to say it was my idea to include them , but I found some names that some may find can be offensive, such as '***' 'Pee' and 'Tit'.
I mean I wouldn't like to be native to the planet '*** II'
As English is a second language for me, I may not find them all. Please help me find them.
BTW my random generated names are from line 31260 'Aa' until the EOF.

I did not get rid of the ugly names but I may have added many, hopefully I added more good sounding ones making the ugly ones less likely to appear

Kwok, they are few and far between. They hardly "plague" FQM. Have you kept track of the bad ones that you have seen, so they can be deleted easier?
