eigenhombre / nominal

Nominal

A small library for generating names. Like this Clojure library but simpler and much faster.

API

All functions return strings unless noted otherwise.

(trad-name)	Pick a name at random
(ngram-name)	Pick a common n-gram; n one of (2 3 4)
(single-name)	Either of the previous two
(full-name-as-list)	A list of single names – usually 2 or 3 of them
(full-name-as-str)	Same as above, but as a string with spaces

Example

(loop repeat 10 collect (full-name-as-str))
