port to npm/node?

It looks like this may handle middle names better than the only package on npmjs.org that does name parsing.

Bit of an old issue but I was actually thinking of porting this library to JS. I have a project that currently uses this but I am needing a client-side version with 100% matching parsing so in a couple weeks when I get some free time I might look into it.

I'll reply to this issue if I do end up porting it.

Checkout humanparser on npm

Thanks! Question though, how similar is human.parseName() to this library? I am basically needing a 100% port of this library with the exact same parsing rules.
