Simple one name generator:

Output Example:

Feel Free to fork, and add new names or new cli features. I've got cobra and viper setup for a config file - perhaps for last names from a yaml file. There are currently no categories/species, but plans for it. I just needed a very simple way to do this in the cli to get stared. Enjoy. No First and Last names either, but plans for it. I may have to devolop a last name feature instead of merging from a large list of generic fantasy names.

Development:

# generate go file from names list
# first, add new names to generator/names.txt
# then...
./dnd-names generator
# then
go build -o dnd-names
./dnd-names --number 10

if you're forking and adding new names to the giant names list for a pull request - just make changes to the generator/names.txt file. if you're working on name categories by spiecies (formally "races") using a yaml file, please take a look at the format in names.yaml

./dnd-names generator # when in the project directory ...

will eventually work through the generator/speciesTypes subfolders and generate first and last names based on the text files. Those text files will be automatically be alphabetised, and converted into golang structs so that eventually you'll be able to use

# (not yet implemented)
./dnd-names species dragonborn female -n 10
# print 10 female dragonborn names, first and last name.
# or...
./dnd-names species dragonborn nonbinary -n 8
# print 8 nonbinary dragonborn names, first and last name.

See cmd/generator/README.md since it's in active development.

Though, still in active development, if you need help try:

./dnd-names species --help

and once you've figured out a species that you want to generate for:

./dnd-names species aarakocra --help
