Database entries you’d like to see amended

Romy’s entry could possibly be updated to include that, in fact, it ranks #14 in [name_f]France[/name_f] currently and not #150

444th post, and I’m pointing that out because I’m weird.

On the page for [name_m]Wilbur[/name_m], I think it would be cool if it said something along the lines of- “Commonly associated with the Twitch streamer & musician [name_m]Wilbur[/name_m] Soot among the new generation.”

i noticed a couple of the masc french name entries described as “sexy,” and i don’t think that’s necessary to consider for picking the name of a child?

maybe change them to…

Luc

Luc is the more appealing Gallic cousin of Luke…

Sylvain

…somehow sounds more sophisticated than Sylvan


And then Florent’s entry might need to be amended:
perhaps…

The name Florent is a boy’s name of French origin meaning “flowering”.
A possible alternative to Florence, and a stunning masculine floral option.

i just really don’t think that the entire “florence is for girls only” part needs to be there?

It might just be me but I think the description of [name_f]Edda[/name_f] is a bit odd. Especially with the popularity of [name_f]Ada[/name_f] and the way that [name_f]Ida[/name_f] is described, I don’t understand what’s “unappealing” about the sound of [name_f]Edda[/name_f].

I think the part on Perpetua’s name page that says “perpetually unwieldy” is a little unnecessary.

The description for [name_f]Ella[/name_f] includes popularity rankings that are now out of date.

“And her popularity isn’t limited to the US: [name_f]Ella[/name_f] is Number 4 in [name_u]Sweden[/name_u] and Number 6 in Australia.“

[name_m]Rodrigo[/name_m] is in the description. We can’t currently edit the “Famous People” section.

Thanks! I must have missed that somehow. :sweat_smile:

[name_f]Manon[/name_f] has some out of date popularity rankings. “[name_f]Manon[/name_f] is currently the fourth most popular name in [name_f]France[/name_f] and Number 9 in Belgium.”

Now it is 31 and 36.

Dembe’s origin is listed as “African, Ugandan” but the description opens with “The name [name_m]Dembe[/name_m] is a boy’s name of Scandinavian origin”.

Also, the name Zoltan’s description cuts off mid-sentence with “But its main recommending feature is that it’s one of the”

Olivia’s page says, “Olivia is currently the top name for baby girls in the US. It’s the undisputed queen of the only four girl names starting with O in the US Top 1000.” This is outdated, as there are now 10 (Olivia, [name_f]Olive[/name_f], [name_u]Oakley[/name_u], [name_f]Oaklynn[/name_f], [name_f]Octavia[/name_f], [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], [name_f]Oaklyn[/name_f], [name_u]Oaklee[/name_u], [name_f]Opal[/name_f], and Oakleigh).

I was going to ask if we add The Dragon [name_u]Prince[/name_u] to Janai’s pop culture section but I’m guessing you can’t edit the pop culture section either? I thought admins could edit anything :frowning_face_with_open_mouth: Are we ever going to be able to edit these sections in the future?

Yes, it is on the list to be opened up again. It was an unintended consequence of the latest update to the main site.
