numernomogy

Numernomogy is a sloppy portmanteau that is meant to mean "The Study of Number Name" Numer-Nom-ogy.

This project came about as a way to get a list of baby names whose letter values add up to a particular value. The values of names are calculated by enumerating the places of each letter of the name (A=1, B=2, C=3, etc.) and adding these together. For example, the name Adam resolves to 19, (1 + 4 + 1 + 13 = 19).

To get a list of names, this project downloads from https://www.ssa.gov/oact/babynames/names.zip

These files also contain the popularity of the names of people born in the US for the past 100 or so years.
