================================== PYNAMES — names generation library

Pynames intended for generation of all sorts of names. Currently it implements generators for character names of different races and cultures:

• Scandinavian: traditional names;
• Russian: pagan names;
• Mongolian: traditional names;
• Korean: traditional names;
• Elven: DnD names;
• Elven: Warhammer names;
• Goblins: custom names;
• Orcs: custom names;
• Iron Kingdoms: caspian midlunder sulese;
• Iron Kingdoms: dwarf;
• Iron Kingdoms: gobber;
• Iron Kingdoms: iossan nyss;
• Iron Kingdoms: khadoran;
• Iron Kingdoms: ogrun;
• Iron Kingdoms: ryn;
• Iron Kingdoms: thurian morridane;
• Iron Kingdoms: tordoran;
• Iron Kingdoms: trollkin.

There are two supported languages : English & Russian. Russian language names are generated with forms for every case of a noun and time.

Currently implemented two generation algorithms:

• pynames.from_list_generator — names are created from list of predefined words;
• pynames.from_table_generator — names are created using templates, every part of template is gotten from separate table;

The library is easily extensible. If you need extra functionality (including new languages), please, contact me, post an issue, or just make a pull request.

Installation

::

pip install pynames

Usage

.. code:: python

from pynames import GENDER, LANGUAGE

All generators are divided by "races", so that all generators of elven names are placed in the module pynames.generators.elven, etc.

.. code:: python

from pynames.generators.elven import DnDNamesGenerator elven_generator = DnDNamesGenerator()

Number of different names (male and female) and for each gender separately.

.. code:: python

In [4]: elven_generator.get_names_number() Out[4]: 1952949936

In [5]: elven_generator.get_names_number(GENDER.MALE) Out[5]: 976474968

In [6]: elven_generator.get_names_number(GENDER.FEMALE) Out[6]: 976474968

Fast random name generation.

.. code:: python

In [7]: elven_generator.get_name_simple() Out[7]: u'Elineer'

In [8]: elven_generator.get_name_simple(GENDER.MALE) Out[8]: u'Caslithdar'

In [9]: elven_generator.get_name_simple(GENDER.MALE, LANGUAGE.EN) # English Out[9]: u'Mararon'

In [10]: print elven_generator.get_name_simple(GENDER.MALE, LANGUAGE.RU) # Russian Ттомусиэл

Instead of text, you can get the Name object with additional functionality.

.. code:: python

In [11]: name = elven_generator.get_name()
