Customize names by age group

[simark]

This is a feature request. It would be interesting to have first and last name data based on different age groups (or actually birth year, because age changes all the time). Then, we could ask qng for a likely name for somebody born in a certain year. For example:

qng --year 2011

would be likely to return something with "Sofy" (instead of the normal spelling Sophie), whereas

qng --year 1949

would likely return Blaise or Rodrigue.

What I'm missing for this right now though is good data. The first names from the source I used initially, PrenomsQuebec.ca only go as far back as 1980, hence the bias towards "younger" names. If you know of any other sources, please do let me know, otherwise I can keep looking.
