Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of U.S. counties named after personal first names
Speculative" seems unwarranted. The nominator states that "Templates for multiple problems have already been listed without any change" but I find no such maintenance templates in the article history, A diff showing the most recent such maintenance template would be helpful. Did the nominator do  and see if references exist as to the source of the county names? Most counties were named through legislative action, and the source of the name would be likely found in those dusty paper records. But more conveniently, a number of books list the origin of county names, or perusal of the linked articles about the counties might provide the needed reference. This list seems less justified than the lists of counties named for presidents or Confederates, since those are easily referenced, but these first name counties are sometimes named after a preexisting city of the name
