Handling sounds that match strings?

I'm making a random name generator. Problem is, I have many names, and I probably added them in a stupid way. I added the names to two lists like this...

        listFO.Add("Sir");
        listFO.Add("Lady");
        listFO.Add("Captain");
        listFO.Add("Mr");
        listFO.Add("Ms");

and the other like this

        listFN.Add("Gambler");
        listFN.Add("Katja");
        listFN.Add("John");
        listFN.Add("Nillo");

just with many more names. Now other than the fact that I probably added these names in an inefficient way - what would be an efficient way of making a program that sees a name like 'CaptainNillo' and plays a sound called 'Captain.wav' first and then Nillo.wav' next?

Assuming that you are sure about this format:

string input = "CaptainNillo";
string first = listFO.FirstOrDefault(x => input.StartsWith(x));
string second = listFN.FirstOrDefault(x => input.EndsWith(x));
if (first != null && second != null)
   // play first.wav and second.was
