TODO

• FIX julián: there is a conflict with "julian" when both keys are in the dataset

• FIX names by searching for � and replace by the corresponding entry in prenoms.csv

• some name has been disabled because they look like common words for instance 'read' (search for comments in the database.js, symbols / or *) in the future we might try to still match them, using a database of last names

• Add more names, using data from U.S. Census Bureau http://deron.meranda.us/data/
