- 542458 4y agoMy initial idea would be to scrape allowed names from Wikipedia. Or maybe only allow a name if it appears more than N times in the corpus… Still, both of those would create issues with name collisions and common names, but it’s probably better than nothing. There’s also the issue of recognizing what a name is - is April a name? Joy? JFSmith1982? 542458?
