Get Started

Load default titles, prefixes and suffixes. Initialize with a full name, then use name fields.

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/Guitarbum722/names"
)

func main() {
	names.LoadTitleData() // Load default titles, prefixes and suffixes
	n := names.New("Donald J. Trump")
	n.SeparateName(" ")
	fmt.Printf("First: %v : Mid: %v : Last: %v", n.First, n.Middle, n.Last)
}

...or pass a bytes.Buffer from a CSV of your choice

	if err := names.LoadTitleDataCSV(bytes.NewBuffer([]byte("Mrs.,p\nMr.,p")); err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err, " ::: Ah man, wasn't able to load your file.")
	}

Get the initials for the name.

    // include periods
    fmt.Println(n.Initials(true)) // D.J.T.

    // exclude periods
    fmt.Println(n.Initials(false)) // DJT
