That is a good question. No, we don't do anything with names at the moment. Names are hard because they don't follow a pattern. The next version will flag columns named first_name, last_name, fullname, or customer_name. That should be published later today.

Beyond that, pii-hound supports custom rules. A user could create some rules to match known names if they wanted.

I am open to ideas of other ways to close that gap.

I don’t know if this is viable but I wonder if you could package a small open source LLM and feed the data through it in chunks to scrub names. I’m sure it would add to the processing time and bunch other issues. But just a thought.
