And I'm pretty sure the name of the day is randomly generated from the database. I really doubt someone is hand-picking them every day.

Agreed, and... [speculation about the "Name of the Day" selection]
I believe the "name of the day" names are from a list that was made a few years ago at least, so there aren't any new/random names that come up each day. It's like a preset list and names repeat each year on their own day.
For example, I'm pretty sure that Isolde has been Valentine's day's name for at least the past three years. Sometimes the names seem to be connected with the date they're posted. For example, Isolde has to do with the tragic romance story, so the name is on Valentine's day, and I think the name on Christmas is like Natalie or Noelle or something with a meaning related to Christmas. Otherwise I'm not sure how they were chosen, but after seeing them over time I'm pretty sure it is just a preset list.

Something is wrong with generator. It show low diversity names.
Where I can post opinion on the site?

You don't really have a place to post your opinions on the site. Just email Mike: mike@behindthename.com.
The "previous names of the day" section only show the past week's names. Maybe that's why you think it "lacks diversity"? Also the Twin Names thing is just for fun - it's not meant to be the be-all and end-all list of names for twins.
