What is the source of the threatening deluge? The ones from Martina, for
instance, don't look to be a serious problem to me. There are two issues for
stdnames:

* Thinking about how they should be constructed. That is usually the bottleneck
because it is hard work, and not many brains are available.

* The number of names to be added. That is not a bottleneck in human time, if
they are systematic, but presents problems of how to manage the table.

Cheers
