Pandas value_counts: name and index'es name

Good day!

s = pd.Series(np.arange(10), name='items')
c = s.value_counts()

c.name  #=> 'items'

c.index.name  #=> None

IMHO that's very strange. Values of c are quantities/counts/etc. not "items". "Items" are represented in c.index. No?

What do you think?

Thanks!

The name here is simply being carried over from the originating Series. Are you asking for a particular enhancement that differs from that?

@WillAyd , yes:

c.name  #=> 'counts'
c.index.name  #=> 'items'

Thanks @kuraga for the report - not sure why you closed this, but I've opened a new issue to take your suggestion forwards https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/issues/49497
