dog-names's Issues

update meow

Hi, that meow@5 dependency triggers https://snyk.io/test/npm/meow/5.0.0 (the trim-newlines problem). Could this be updated please?

wonderful

Wonderful , I don't have to worry about how to name dogs in my game!!

Source?

Since the readme says things like “sorted by popularity” and “not accepting PRs for additional names” it seems like the list of names was not just randomly made up or does not consist of your personal favorites or anything like that. So, what is the source for this data? And shouldn’t it be credited in the README?

The same goes for the other *-names projects, I guess.
