    Hello!

    I would like to extend this plugin. Can you provide any input on how I can do this in the Child theme folder?

    is it up to the user to add / update the _mcm_baby_name db table (say like once a year type of thing) ?

    Thanks for providing this! I’m trying to decide whether to fork it or not.

    Hi!

    There’s not a way to extend it in the child theme folder.

    You can certainly modify the database if you like though future updates could affect any modifications you make. The database table used is WP_DB_PREFIXmcm_Baby_Name The default prefix is “wp_” so by default it will be wp_mcm_Baby_Name

    Thanks

    okay, thanks for letting me know.

    When you update the plugin, I’ll be able to just apply the patch then from your GitHub so I doesn’t interfere with my own changes.

    Thanks!

    Hello – I have a list from an open data source with 921 records that are identified as “unisex names”. I have updated the plugin and database to accommodate for a new value in the maleFemale column.

    However, how would you recommend I handle the numNamed value for these records? Should I leave this blank? Obviously I wouldn’t know if it should be tagged with > 299, less than 30, etc.

    See attached.

    numNamed indicates the popularity of the name. 300 or greater is high popularity, under 30 is low popularity, and in between those 2 is medium popularity.

    So, if it’s a popular name, I’d put in 300. If it’s not, 29, etc.
