I'm posting this because I know that there are a couple of danish users out there, so please enjoy! On another note - if anyone has similar validation data available, please go ahead and post it and we will make sure it gets into the DataCleaner resources project which will contain regexes, dictionaries and other input-data to make efficient use of the data quality framework.

This list also contains a frequency for the names which is useful in an intelligent way of validating names. Further more the list contains the age distribution for the first names. This is useful if you want to give a probabilistic value about the age of a person with a given name – say the probabilistic age of male called ‘Kasper’ is 22, and the probabilistic age of a male called ‘Børge’ is 77. Similar lists are available from the Swedish and Norwegian statistical bureaus.
