-------

Get last and first name information from email addresses, usernames, etc

Features

********

- Built-in Dictionary of 150,000+ names and their popularity rankings.

- Distinguishes between last and first names.

- Last and First name sequence detection: Can detect invalid combinations of Last-First-Last name sequences and select the best option.

- Search by Popularity: best for mangled strings.

- Search by Longest Names: best for email addresses, or generally valid data.

- Uses Regex to extract letter sequences, breaking the input into words and considerably increasing matching probability.

- Worst case runtime of O(n**2) not counting the single regex operation above (where n = number of chars).

- Actual scan time is under a second, even for strings with hundreds of characters.

Usage

Simply call NameParser.Scan(). Input can be a string or a list of strings.
