You can do this entirely programmatically, but a little manual action on your part could save you a lot of work, especially if this is a one-off thing. For example, you could copy and paste the names at one go into a text file such that each name is on its own line. Then, it becomes a matter of reading the file (e.g., using [man]file/man) and then running the insert statements in a loop. You can prepare the insert statement once and then bind the value as they are read from the file, and execute the statement.
