I'm glad I'm hearing the same thing I told them in the beginning. I was starting to think that maybe they were right and I was crazy.

That just made my whole day worthwhile. Thank you. :-)
Now that we've gotten the humor part of the day out of the way, I'm pretty sure that what you want to do is -- while not impossible -- something you can only ever expect to get 50-70% reliability out of, if that high.
Proper names are only barely required to follow the usual pronunciation rules of any given language, and are prone to come from whatever language was native to the person's parents, which could be anything (there are somewhere over 4000 langauges on the planet, IIRC).
