Codename

   

an RFC1178 implementation to generate pronounceable, sometimes even memorable, "superhero like" codenames, consisting of a random combination of adjective and noun.

Usage

Codename it's a package, so all you need to do is import it into your code (Try it!):

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/lucasepe/codename"
)

func main() {
	rng, err := codename.DefaultRNG()
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	for i := 0; i < 8; i++ {
		name := codename.Generate(rng, 0)
		fmt.Println(name)
	}
}

This is how the output looks like (since it's random your will be different).

absolute-karatecha
moving-colleen
game-nova
fine-madrox
pro-penguin
keen-morbius
firm-iron
refined-epoch

You can request the addition of a token to create even more entropy (Try it!):

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/lucasepe/codename"
)

func main() {
	rng, err := codename.DefaultRNG()
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	for i := 0; i < 8; i++ {
		name := codename.Generate(rng, 4)
		fmt.Println(name)
	}
}

note the token (with the specified length) added at the end:
