18. The system of claim 11 , wherein the target name is associated with a target information source, wherein the control circuitry is further configured to: filter the plurality of candidate alternative names, wherein the filtering comprises removing one of from the plurality of candidate alternative names in response to determining that the target information source does not refer to the one of the plurality of candidate names.
11. A system for determining alternative names, the system comprising: storage circuitry configured to: store a plurality of candidate alternative names for a target name, wherein the plurality of candidate alternative names; control circuitry configured to: retrieve, based on input from a user, the plurality of candidate names; identify a plurality of media assets associated with the target name, wherein each of the plurality of media assets is provided by a source other than the user; generate a first classification group that includes each of the plurality of media assets that refers to a first candidate name; generate a second classification group that includes each of the plurality of media assets that refers to a second candidate name; compute a first value representing a first number of media assets in the first classification group; compute a second value representing a second number of media assets in the second classification group; assign the first candidate name, instead of the second candidate name, as an alternative name for the target name responsive to a determination that the first value exceeds the second value; and assign the second candidate name, instead of the first candidate name, as the alternative name for the target name responsive to a determination that the second value exceeds the first value.
