I've started a WIP mod discussion page in the sub-forum for mod creators. The OP of that thread has a current version of the mod as a downloadable zip attachment. Anyone interested in giving the mod a beta try-out please feel free to do so. Here is the link to the mod discussion page. Currently the added names are complete for the following civs:

Hello everyone.
I'm currently building a mod for use with BNW that will assign Great General and Great Admiral names based on the civ to which they were best historically linked. So when Rome is either an AI player or the human player, it's great generals list will include Gaius Marius and Scipio Africanus but not for example Robert E. Lee. Russia would use Ivan the Terrible and Georgy Zhukov but wouldn't want to use Sitting Bull unless all names appropriate for Russia had been used.
I have all the code that will handle this completed, but I need more Great General and Admiral names. I have worked through the existing list of great generals as supplied by Firaxis and assigned them to appropriate civilizations, and I've added some new great general names. I have not yet started work on assigning Great Admiral names to specific civs.
I could use your help in creating a more extensive list of great generals and great admirals. So, if you have time or inclination, please drop a comment with a suggested Great General or Great Admiral name and the civ to which they ought to be assigned.
Please keep suggestions to historical figures. While I have a particular affection for Horatio Hornblower, as an example, he really ought not to show up as a Great Admiral name for England. Please also make suggestions only for the Civilizations as provided by Firaxis (includes the DLC CIVS). I haven't decided yet upon a best method for custom modded-in civilizations.
So if you've felt your native or cultural homeland has been neglected in regard to being represented in the list of Great Generals or Great Admirals, here's your chance to rectify the omission.
For Rome, I'm not real familiar with post-Republican history, so any names for Imperial-era Rome are welcome.
Part of my problem in selecting names appropriate to a particular civ is I kinda suck at google, so have not had tons of success trying to search for GG or GA names to add.
If you have a suggestion for a Great General or Great Admiral that doesn't fit well with one of the existing civs but you think really ought to be present in the game, please do make the suggestion and I'll use that name for the generic lists civs will use when they run out of names or don't have any specific names assigned.
For example, where I added Garibaldi but didn't assign him to a specific civilization.
Great Generals(updated list)
("ASSIGNED" signifies they were already in-game and I have assigned them to a civ, "ADDED" signifies they are new and I have added them into the XML of my mod)
Great Admirals(updated list)
