Right on. Outta curiosity, whatcha up to with the name data?

Fair. I'm sure there are waaaay more efficient ways to load that into the db. That said, it's one of those things - like, where do I wanna spend my time -- sorting that out, something I only gotta do once a year and I can basically push "go" and walk away -- or something else. It's not like I gotta keep turning the crank.

... and, of course, PRs are welcome :)




Fair enough on the perf, I get it lol

I'm hunting for names that had resurgence in popularity because of TV shows/movies. The name that inspired the project is Mabel. It disappeared in the 1960s, then reappeared the year after Gravity Falls came out and it's still climbing. https://www.behindthename.com/name/mabel/top

I want to find as many examples of that as I can.


Interesting. So are you just looking at names with a dramatic slope / climb after a given year, then trying to figure out why?
