Nice, and congrats.
I was actually in the process of writing an app when we were expecting, so I downloaded the US Census CSV of names to import, and when I perused the file I saw a couple names I liked, asked my wife, and we picked one before I ever had to write any code!
- drewzero1 5y agoI completely forgot I had done this, but I also got the census CSVs and wrote a script to spit out 10 random selections at a time, with optional middle name and our last names appended to each. I also included optional stats for each name on their popularity ranking for certain years. I came up with a short list of five or ten, compared lists with my partner, and the one name that our lists had in common was the winner. The script and CSVs ultimately ended up not making a big difference in the decision (it was a significant name from my family) but the process was fun and yielded some interesting results.
- hamaluik 5y agoThe dream! We went from trying 5 or 6 apps that we didn't really like, then downloading the CSV of names, then getting overwhelmed by all the names, the making the bone-headed decision to kill a bunch of time building an app instead of just slogging through things.
