firstnames weighted by birth year? #66

Hi - this is a neat package for a specific purpose. One possible nice feature - could you set parameters birth_year_start = 1960 (default) and birth_year_end = 2000 (default), The user could then change these parameters to get firstnames appropriate for people born between 1880-1890, or 2000-2010. Ideally this would use the weighted frequency of each firstname by gender for the included range of birth years.

Hi. Sorry for the delay on replying. Unfortunately, I don't have any information in the data set that's being used to generate the names on which names go with which years.
