# name_data.js

Name data in JSON for Javascript

Selection and generation of names, for fake name data.

Parsed JSON of [male](http://names.mongabay.com/male_names_alpha.htm) and

[female](http://names.mongabay.com/female_names_alpha.htm) first name data, as well as gender neutral

[last name](http://names.mongabay.com/most_common_surnames.htm) data, ostensibly taken from the 1990 US census.

Contains 1219 male names, 4275 female names, and 18,840 last names, as well as estimated (rough) commonality.

## Usage

Pretty straightforward stuff, rly.

```javascript

> const nd = require('name_data');

undefined

> nd.mens_first_name_data;

{ aaron: 350151,

  abdul: 10213,

...

  zackary: 5836,

  zane: 10213 }

> Object.keys(nd.mens_first_name_data).length;

1219

> nd.random_womens_first_name();

'helen'

> nd.random_mens_first_name();

'john'

> [1,1,1,1,1,1].map(_ => nd.random_first_name() );

[ 'seth', 'lauren', 'jill', 'kathy', 'marshall', 'loretta' ]

> nd.random_last_name();

'lopez'

> nd.random_name();

'dawn knight'

> [1,1,1,1,1,1].map(_ => nd.random_name() );

[ 'maria burns',

  'jennette howell',

  'vanessa carnes',

  'richard robertson',

  'amanda reiley',

  'jason carroll' ]

```
