More detail please.
Are you referring to the blocks in 'list' format, or 'table' format? Presumably not the 'tag cloud' format available for surnames, as it doesn't really work for first names.
Remember also that the surnames, and the count figure for each, are clickable links. That 'might' be possible for first names, but I always assumed it wasn't very useful. But it does change the look of the text as most links are highlighted in some way through css.
Assuming you just mean the tables, I can only see two issues:
1 - the format of the text in the column headers
2 - the surname block has the 1 to 10 numbering down the left.
Are these your issues?

Paul. I've had a long look at this one, and admitted defeat. Hopefully someone more skilled than I might be able to do it. There are multiple issues that get in the way:
1 - as you note, the surname block includes clickable-links, which therefore use a different font-weight, and in some themes a different colour as well.
2 - the surname block gets some of its style (like many other blocks) from the fact the columns are sortable, which the given names block doesn't
3 - the given names block is in fact (in the latest (3324) version) three separate tables (Female, Male, Unknown gender names). To have a column of numbers 1 to 10), and the column sorting needed for font style etc, would probably mean having a number column for each one of these, which all starts to look very messy.
4 - the given name tables have two header rows, which seems to confuse the sort algorithms, or at least I couldn't get them to work correctly.
No doubt, hopefully, someone else will have a go and show me how easy it actually could have been :-)

The attached pic shows the differences - font weight/colour, number alignment, ranking number. Some are clickable, which may only affect font weight.

Thanks for the time and trouble you have gone to.
I have no idea why the surnames table is sortable...why should it be so?
I'll leave it on the request list, in the hope that there might be a solution.
