Generate random adj-noun names like docker and github.

Project description

randomname

Generate random unique ids using real words - like docker containers or github repos.

Often, I get tired of trying to hunt down files in folders differentiated by some numeric id, and unless I need to encode a timestep into the name, I'd rather use an id that's memorable and easy to type.

The wordlists are graciously sourced from: https://github.com/imsky/wordlists

Install

pip install randomname

Usage

# get adj-noun:
$ randomname get
# sleek-voxel
$ randomname get
# frayed-potentiality
$ randomname get
# recursive-vector
$ randomname get
# convoluted-peninsula

# specify adj-noun sub-categories (respectively):
$ randomname get weather shopping,cats
# freezing-store

# or define your own format:
$ randomname generate adj/sound n/apex_predators
# blaring-crocodile

# use multiple categories:
$ randomname generate v/art,v/thought a/sound n/apex_predators
# doodle-silent-salamander

# mix in your own words (e.g. "cat"):
$ randomname generate v/fire a/music_theory n/cats cat
# toast-adagio-angora-cat

The lists include various word classes:

  • adjectives (a, adj) - ya know those describe-y things
    • e.g. a/colors, adj/shape, adjectives/sound
  • nouns (n, nn) - people, places, things dawg
    • e.g. n/cats, nn/ghosts, nouns/wine
  • verbs (v, vb) - doing things
    • e.g. v/art, vb/3d_graphics
  • names (nm) - things like surnames, streets, cities, etc.
    • e.g. nm/cities, names/codenames
  • ipsum (ip) - misc.
    • e.g. ip/reddit, ipsum/blockchain

It's importable too!

import randomname

# generate name using all categories
name = randomname.get_name()
# or specify a subset of the categories
name = randomname.get_name(adj=('music_theory',), noun=('cats', 'food'))
# or - you can take a bit more liberty about
name = randomname.generate(
    'v/fire', 'adj/music_theory', ('n/cats', 'n/food'))

# these contain the available groups
print('adjective categories:', randomname.ADJECTIVES)
print('noun categories:', randomname.NOUNS)
