Name data in JSON for Javascript

Selection and generation of names, for fake name data.

Pretty straightforward stuff, rly.

{ aaron: 350151,
  abdul: 10213,
...
  zackary: 5836,
  zane: 10213 }

> Object.keys(nd.mens_first_name_data).length;
1219

> nd.random_womens_first_name();
'helen'

> nd.random_mens_first_name();
'john'

> [1,1,1,1,1,1].map(_ => nd.random_first_name() );
[ 'seth', 'lauren', 'jill', 'kathy', 'marshall', 'loretta' ]

> nd.random_last_name();
'lopez'
