Mnemonic Version Names

I have always wondered if it was easier to remember (and distinguish between) numbers like 48 and 32 in contrast with names like holmes and geneva. This program is a little experiment to generate an easy plugin to situations where a random hex or a numeric iterator is a natural decision for lack of a better choice. For example,

from vernemic import names
for name in names(count) :
  pass
  
# or
for i, name in enumerate(names(count, sorted)) :
  pass

# instead of 
for i in range(count) :
  pass

Sorted with cycle

The version names start with a, b ... and start back again from the top. Its not as if each character is repeated; but whatever is available is cycled. For example,

['amandi', 'burdett', 'clothilde', 'encratis',
 'georglana', 'inglis', 'jaquiss', 'kondon', 'lunn',
 'maure', 'ponzo', 'sally', 'erland', 'gladys',
 'justin', 'lyns', 'sussi', 'gunzburg', 'gyasi']

Corpus

The names corpus is taken from the Moby II project
