Description: A database of Chinese surnames and given names
        (1930-2008). This database contains nationwide frequency
        statistics of 1,806 Chinese surnames and 2,614 Chinese
        characters used in given names, covering about 1.2 billion Han
        Chinese population (96.8 percent of the Han Chinese
        household-registered population born from 1930 to 2008 and
        still alive in 2008). This package also contains a function for
        computing multiple indices of Chinese surnames and given names
        for social science research (e.g., name uniqueness, name
        gender, name valence, and name warmth/competence). Details are
        provided at <https://psychbruce.github.io/ChineseNames/>.
