This is one of those things that you don't really need, but may REALLY need at some point in the future.

Also who names emojis, are they author named!?

Also, Also. Github could use some optimization, forking this froze my browser. Rendering the page took like 20 seconds.

For what it's worth, Unicode's CLDR names Unicode characters in multiple languages [1], although this work is done in phases, and usually the English names are ready before others. Unicode also maintains an informative emoji chart [2], which includes comparison pictures among popular glyph-sets, as well as an English short name.

> Also who names emojis

Developers of screen readers, for one.

If you're on a Mac, use VoiceOver or the "say" command-line tool on an emoji.

Actually, the Unicode Consortium names (when you hover over the emoji) http://www.unicode.org/emoji/charts/emoji-versions.html#v9.0...

I named only a very few, those I had to touch anyway while compiling the list. But most of the namings come from a source list I merged into the final list.

And there are also still many names missing, need to figure out how to add them automatically from the Unicode website or any other Emoji resource; because doing it manually is not what I want to do :)
