Hey folks!

The Names data type lets you generate country-specific names to make your data set look more realistic. But to do that, we need to actually supply that data. To do that, add a names.ts file into the client/src/plugins/countries/[countryname] folder, in the same structure as the other ones.

I suggest adding a bare minimum of 100 male, female & last names, but anything up to 1000 of each. Note: the source data has to be license-free.

Hi Ben, attached a Dutch name listing. 300 entries, comprised of the most popular last names, first names in the Netherlands. I added separate columns for last name prefixes and alphabetization, as this can be confusing in Dutch. Let me know if this works for your purposes? Thanks!

This is terrific, thanks @rvanraamsdonk! I'll convert that into code & add it to the next release.

Glad you find it useful! Attached a cleaned-up version of the sheet, the previous one had two redundant tabs in, to avoid confusion.

I just looked a bit closer and sorry, I didn't noticed the names weren't separated by gender. The last names are terrific, but unfortunately I'll need the first names separated. But no worries if it's a pain, I can track down an alternate source!

Thanks @rvanraamsdonk! Possibly you responded to the thread, but github didn't attach the file? I checked the two attachements above but they're the same.
