mootbing/ship-name-maker

Make ship names through combining two names! A demonstration of the power of vowels.

Ship Name Maker

Make ship names for you and your dependency :). (sadly I don't have a gf to test this program on, so it may be bugged)

Examples

Stacy & Lester

['Stales', 'Stater', 'Cyles', 'Cyter', 'Lessta', 'Lescy', 'Tersta', 'Tercy']

Felipe & Orlando

['Feor', 'Felan', 'Fedo', 'Lior', 'Lilan', 'Lido', 'Peor', 'Pelan', 'Pedo', 'Orfe', 'Orli', 'Orpe', 'Lanfe', 'Lanli', 'Lanpe', 'Dofe', 'Doli', 'Dope']

Terminal format

For brief viewing and gossiping at school, but you should save if you would like to revisit the ship

Saved format

It is the same as terminal format, but now you can print it out and hang it on the wall!

API format

Returns a dictionairy with the keys "Full Names" and "Mixture Names"

How to run

1. Clone this repository
2. Cd into src
3. Pip3 install the dependencies listed below
4. python3 shipname.py
5. Have fun!

Note: shipname.py uses lovecalculator.py, so if you want both shipnames and love calculations, you only need to run shipname.py

The api may not be 100% percent accurate, but then again, love can't be calculated in numbers...

Dependencies

• Beautiful Soup 4 (Webscrape)
• Requests (for bs4)
• Re (for regular expression)
• This Website (for syllable splitting)
• Lovecalculator.com (for the love calculator scraping part)

How it works

The algorithem is quite simple.

1. You take the names
2. Split them into syllables using an online "api" (this program used web-scraping to get the data off the site)
3. Do all combinations with both
4. Return the data in a nicely formatted array :)
