This doesn't seem curated. It just seems like a list (a long one bloated one at that).
Most github list projects seem to suffer from this. For instance the infamous "awesome list" [0]. Select a category. Most of them contain several hundred items. As if this is anything better than searching google for the term. [0]: https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome

Their passports have a translation of their names in Latin alphabet, same for Russians. However one day one of my user told me "hey I can't find some customers in your app, but I'm 100% sure I recorded them previously. Funnily they're all Chinese". It turns out that to av…
This happens with western names as well. Jo, Bo, Malcolm X.

Interesting, now that you mention it I can't think of any French names that are 2 letters long. But in English we have tons, "Ed Mo" is a perfectly plausible name.

Wasn't he just known as X though? His legal name would have been Islamic and his birth name was Little.
>Heterogenous units are of no practical use. (Radar beam height formula uses a constant expressed in nautical miles per foot)
Constants in formulas can be expressed in any unit system you want. What the author means to say is that one formula they saw in one textbook used nautical miles per foot. The "radar beam height formula" is not specific to any particular unit system.

Edit: Funny observation - when you use the system that's linked to try and look up the public records, it won't even let you search for names with less than two letters.

To store the furigana for the given name and family name to allow you to correctly perform sort operations.
Disclaimer: I know very little about Japanese How could you store that in a separate field from the name? Don't the characters in the furigana need to be matched up in a certain way with the characters in the name? It seems like storing the characters in line in the same field as the name would actually be the more correct thing to do here, using a system like Unicode's interlinear annotation characters for ruby text…
