 * Hello!
 * I would like to extend this plugin. Can you provide any input on how I can do
   this in the Child theme folder?
 * is it up to the user to add / update the _mcm_baby_name db table (say like once
   a year type of thing) ?
 * Thanks for providing this! I’m trying to decide whether to fork it or not.

 * Hi!
 * There’s not a way to extend it in the child theme folder.
 * You can certainly modify the database if you like though future updates could
   affect any modifications you make. The database table used is WP_DB_PREFIXmcm_Baby_Name
   The default prefix is “wp_” so by default it will be wp_mcm_Baby_Name
 * Thanks

 * okay, thanks for letting me know.
 * When you update the plugin, I’ll be able to just apply the patch then from your
   GitHub so I doesn’t interfere with my own changes.
 * Thanks!

 * Hello – I have a list from an open data source with 921 records that are identified
   as “unisex names”. I have updated the plugin and database to accommodate for 
   a new value in the maleFemale column.
 * However, how would you recommend I handle the numNamed value for these records?
   Should I leave this blank? Obviously I wouldn’t know if it should be tagged with
   > 299, less than 30, etc.
 * See attached.

 * numNamed indicates the popularity of the name. 300 or greater is high popularity,
   under 30 is low popularity, and in between those 2 is medium popularity.
 * So, if it’s a popular name, I’d put in 300. If it’s not, 29, etc.
