This package uses Markov chains to generate random names. Names that exist in the input data are never returned.

Usage

import (
	"fmt"

)

func main() {
	fmt.Println("female:", fake.FemaleFirstName(), fake.LastName())
	fmt.Println("  male:", fake.MaleFirstName(), fake.LastName())
}

female: Marminella Kiwo
