ArchivesRe: For Mike C: Name popularities for Korea and Japan.
in reply to a message by Dododo
Thank you for these. There are some shortcomings with the Japanese list as Rene pointed out. Lists compiled by private organizations tend to have a sample size that is too small or skewed.
The major issue with putting Japanese and Korean names on this site is that my software expects the name to be written only one way in Latin characters. Yes, there are Hebrew, Armenian and Russian popularity lists on the site, but they list only one Latin transcription. Japanese and Korean names often have several readings, so I need to rewrite the software at some point to account for that.
