Add list of exemplary names #74

Closed aphillips closed 2 years ago

aphillips commented 2 years ago

This addresses I18N-ACTION-1160. Added new subsection along with text, notes, and a list of names.

The list of names probably needs more work and is intended as a conceptual framework for gathering "the real set of names".

The note blocks and commentary are somewhat repetitive and could be improved.

Maybe we can also add Vietnamese, like: Nguyễn Thị A (female), Nguyễn Văn B (male)

xfq commented 2 years ago

Some pinyin have tones (like Qiàn), and some don't (like Lei). I don't have a strong opinion on whether tones are needed, but I think they should be consistent.

@duerst, @himorin I now have a long list of Japanese names. Can you please review the ones provided and suggest which to keep (and also any corrections or changes to make!). Note that in the preview you can click on the "language" column to sort by language tag.

@xfq I have three Chinese names and they are all female. Can you suggest some additions to balance gender? I know that this is not what Chinese people would do when making examples, but bear in mind the stated goal :-D

(everyone) This is terrible but less-worse than it was. Corrections are welcome.

There are currently two female and one male names (李雷 is a male name).

The following is another male name:

Hua 李华  m   East Asian; China   zh-Hans

In our teleconference today we agreed to merge this work after doing a specific set of edits. I have just now done those edits, so merging this text.

This is not the end of this discussion, of course, and further pull requests, issues, or suggestions are very much welcomed. Thanks to @xfq, @duerst, @himorin, and @r12a for their comments above.
