I am looking for lists of (particularly American) given and family names. Frequency information would be nice too.

I am also looking for associations between given names and nicknames, eg:
robert->bob, rob, robbie
william->bill, will, willie
albert->al, bert
bertram->bert
elizabeth->liz, lizzie, betsy, beth, eliza

I would also like a list of nicknames which do not bind strongly to a particular given name, eg: bud, chip, mac.

Any help would be appreciated.
