Namebot

A company/product/whatever name generating tool written in Python.

This project is ongoing, but feel free to contribute! It's a full-fledged suite of tools that can help you get started generating real business names for your project or company!

Getting started

Install the package:

pip install namebot or clone this repo and then run python setup.py install

Wite your code!

# Example usage - this one is slower because it does ALL techniques.
from pprint import pprint as ppr

from namebot import nlp
from namebot import techniques

base_words = ['cat', 'dog']
more_words = nlp.get_synsets(base_words)
all_examples = techniques.generate_all_techniques(base_words)

ppr(all_examples)

Modules:

See the docs

Metrics

A class of utilities for generating all kinds of linguistic metrics for a set of words.

NLP

Natural language processing tools for finding word relationships - uses NLTK for all of the heavy-lifting.

Normalization

Some tools for normalizing and formatting content for use with the rest of the library.

Scoring

Some scoring algorithms, primarily for classifying pronunciation, such as Soundex or Double Metaphone.

Techniques

The major chunk of work represented in this library. The many techniques I've created after researching hundreds of corporate names and naming agency techniques

Language Techniques

Techniques that involve the use of language translation for stylistic name use, such as Latin.

Strainer

Similar to normalization, but for filtering based on rules, like length, count, etc... good for mapping 1:1 with UI inputs or just calling from the functions directly.
