A little bit of Monica in my life
One analysis in the R community that caught my attention is Hilary Parker’s analysis of the most poisoned baby name in US history. I was surprised that my own name didn’t show up in the analysis. If Hilary had a huge loss in 1993, what happened to Monica in 1999?
For a period when I was a kid the name ‘Monica’ is what made the adults turn down the NPR broadcast. Its entrance into popular culture due to the Clinton Impeachment, a shoutout in Mambo No. 5, and also being name of the the least likable roommate on Friends (#bossy)1, wasn’t exactly the kind of material that was going to make me cool.
