Description

Currently, alias generator does not predict common spellings. For example:
`Josef` / `Joseph`
`Philipp` / `Phillip` / `Philip`

Especially in multilingual contexts, it is common for one person to use multiple such variants.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points, so first locate the alias-generation entry point and any existing name-variant tests in this Node module. Define the supported common spellings and multilingual scope with the maintainer, then verify that Josef/Joseph and Philipp/Phillip/Philip produce the intended aliases without unrelated changes.
