featuretools.primitives.FullNameToFirstName#

class featuretools.primitives.FullNameToFirstName[source]#

Determines the first name from a person’s name.

Description:

Given a list of names, determines the first name. If only a single name is provided, assume this is a first name. If only a title and a single name is provided return nan. This assumes all titles will be followed by a period. Please note, in the current implementation, last names containing spaces may result in improper first name matches.

Examples

>>> full_name_to_first_name = FullNameToFirstName()
>>> names = ['Woolf Spector', 'Oliva y Ocana, Dona. Fermina',
...          'Ware, Mr. Frederick', 'Peter, Michael J', 'Mr. Brown']
>>> full_name_to_first_name(names).to_list()
['Woolf', 'Oliva', 'Frederick', 'Michael', nan]
