Lib splits full name into first and last name considering name prefixes and initials

full-name-splitter's Issues

The documentation refers to "require 'full_name_splitter' " but it's "require 'full-name-splitter' "

Tripped me up for a while after I grabbed the gem. Thanks!

Can't handle the first Name Ben

Someone named "Ben Johnson" for example, will return [nil, "Ben Johnson"]. I understand that Ben is used before last names in Hebrew, but it's a fairly common first name in the US. I wonder if perhaps there are only two names Ben is better to be assumed to be the first name?

Cheers!

This gem is awesome. Thanks for writing it. 🍻

Does not handle suffixes like "Jr." or "Sr."

John Henry Johnson Jr. or John Henry Johnson Sr. are currently split as follows:

first_name: John Henry Johnson
last_name: Jr.

not sure if it should it be excise the suffix or append to first_name?
first_name: John Henry Jr.
last_name: Johnson
