Subject: Adding to an array question

I need to add a string to the end of an array count number of times. I
was wondering if I could get some advice on the prefered way to do it
in Ruby.

@bucket is the array


def add_person(count, name)
 @bucket += Array.new(count, name)
end

or some other ideas

def add_person(count, name)
count.times {@bucket << name }
end
# or some variation of looping

Personally, I like the adding a new array to the @bucket array. I
realize (at least I assume) that it creates a temporary Array, but I
think it is more understandable?

Thoughts?
Thanks, I'm just learning Ruby
