That depends on what your intent is for the names. For example, whether 
to display them all or in subsets simultaneously, or whether to apply 
scaling/stretching/rotation unequally to each name. If the list of names 
is always handled as a single complete list, then a single text layer 
for the list will make the names easier to manage.
