Re:Show HN: My wife is pregnant; naturally I made a baby-nam... by drewzero1 on Monday November 08, 2021 @02:19AM (#29146775)
I 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.
