Leading whitespaces in some names #70

Closed Close-your-eyes closed 3 years ago

Close-your-eyes commented 3 years ago

When running the command randomNames(1, which.names = "first", gender = 1) some names are returned which have leading whitespaces. E.g. " Huda" and " Muzna".

Even though this can be fixed easily with trimws it is unexpected and maybe problematic to some people if these names are also returned without whitespace sometimes.

Thanks for finding that. I'll fix those up in the data and repost to GitHub and CRAN in the next few days.

Just fixed that and built v 1.5 of randomName. Will post to CRAN shortly
