Another random name generator, loosely based on namejen, but approximately 900x faster.

go get github.com/eigenhombre/namegon@<version>

E.g.,

go get github.com/eigenhombre/[email protected]

The function Namer takes a slice of strings and a "chain length" n, and returns a function which can be called repeatedly to generate names based on n-grams from the supplied input.

package main

import (
    "fmt"

    "github.com/eigenhombre/namegon"
)

func main() {
    namer := namegon.Namer(namegon.LatinishNames, 4)
    for i := 0; i < 10; i++ {
        fmt.Println(namer())
    }
    fmt.Println("OK")
}

Output:

Ntamino
Uredo
Lorum
Xusamplitus
Apilludo
Aepromptus
Riuria
Asportunitio
Dminis
Erebro
OK

The package comes with three "seed lists" ported over from namejen:

• ExampleMaleNames
• ExampleFemaleNames
• LatinWords

... but of course, your own corpora can be used.
