Certain Anglicized names such as those from some Hawaiian, Samoan, and Kenyan traditions, include multiple single quotation marks. This adjusts the quoted_word regex to only capture single quote marks that are not inside words. Without this fix, false nicknames are extracted from inside names like Ng'ang'a and Kawai'ae'a. Tests are included to cover; existing Benjamin 'Ben' Franklin test assures that the typical nickname case is unchanged.

Thanks for the great pull request. I knew this wasn't quite right but didn't know how to fix it. My regex mojo is pretty weak. I appreciate the help. |
