I've built a small table from existing matched data of names and abbreviations
eg. William = Bill
I'd really like a full multicultural data set...any pointers please?

I've looked into this very heavily in the past.
Arguably, SMITH and MSITH are the same name, due to a typo. Or SMITH and WMITH
In my case, I used several algorithms to judge similarity between names and addresses, and weighted them to give a final score.

Approximate string matching - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Also Google for N-Gram, Levenstein and Hamming.

Anyone know of any good routines for this kind of fuzzy matching?
Maybe you know of a table of common mistakes. Mac = Mc etc Mike = Michael ?
