Any project on Name Commonality

[Pradeep Bhatt]

Hi All,

Is there any work done on name commonality in India, something like this site

http://howmanyofme.com/

Finding how many "Yuvraj Singh" or "Priyanka Chopra" are there in India.

Guys, who have scraped Voter ID data. Do you think its possible ?

Regards,

Pradeep

Dear Pradeep,

it is possible in principle, though with complications (including
ethical complications). Have a look at my github for starters on how to
extract names from the electoral rolls:

What is definitely possible is something like this:

Best,

I've done that for the states of AP and Telangana.

For the privacy reasons, it counts each word in the name instead of the full name. So, you'll be able to find how may "Yuvraj" and how many "Singh" were born in each year, but not "Yuvraj Singh".

There's a voters id database? You mean scraped from online voters lists? 

What are the privacy implications? These were the same lists used to target communities during riots. In fact that's part of the recommendations DRA made on ECI's website accessibility - to prevent data misuse.

I will check it out.
