Informations about the package nicknames

Nicknames1

Code Climate Build Status

Nicknames is a simple package that either returns an array of common nicknames for a provided name or returns an array of potential matches to a provided nickname. The data features common English diminutives, nicknames and shortened forms, of given names.

For example, "William" may appear in databases as "Bill" or "Willie", and "Rebecca" as "Becca" or "Becky".

The list of names is from Diminutives.db with some extra names added to the list from our sources. The idea behind the package has also taken heavy influence from the ruby gem Nickname which also has some great information about other techniques for fuzzy matching strings.
