Some of those names might be regional names for peppers that are thechileman site under a different name.

I would just go through all of the pages reading the peppers. i know there is a lot, I've done it, it'll take some time. But, you may find what you are looking for. You can also try google, if you haven't, and sometimes you might find the peppers real names that way too.
