==============================
Random Name and Slug Generator

Do you want random human-readable strings?

.. code-block:: python

>>> from coolname import generate_slug
>>> generate_slug()
'big-maize-lori-of-renovation'
>>> generate_slug()
'tunneling-amaranth-rhino-of-holiness'
>>> generate_slug()
'soft-cuddly-shrew-of-expertise'

Features

Generate slugs, ready to use, Django-compatible.

.. code-block:: python

  >>> from coolname import generate_slug
  >>> generate_slug()
  'qualified-agama-of-absolute-kindness'

Generate names as sequences and do whatever you want with them.

.. code-block:: python

  >>> from coolname import generate
  >>> generate()
  ['beneficial', 'bronze', 'bee', 'of', 'glee']
  >>> ' '.join(generate())
  'limber transparent toad of luck'
  >>> ''.join(x.capitalize() for x in generate())
  'CalmRefreshingTerrierOfAttraction'

Generate names of specific length: 2, 3 or 4 words.

.. code-block:: python
```
  >>> generate_slug(2)
  'mottled-crab'
  >>> generate_slug(3)
  'fantastic-acoustic-whale'
  >>> generate_slug(4)
  'military-diamond-tuatara-of-endeavor'
```
Note: without argument, it returns a random length, but probability of 4‑word name is much higher.
Prepositions and articles (of, from, the) are not counted as words.

Use in command line:

.. code-block:: bash

  $ coolname
  prophetic-tireless-bullfrog-of-novelty
  $ coolname 3 -n 2 -s '_'
  wildebeest_of_original_champagne
  ara_of_imminent_luck

Over 10\ :sup:10\ random names.

Hand-picked vocabulary. sexy and demonic are about the most "offensive" words here -
but there is only a pinch of them, for spice. Most words are either neutral, such as red, or positive,
such as brave. And subject is always some animal, bird, fish, or insect - you can't be more neutral than
Mother Nature.

Easy customization <http://coolname.readthedocs.io/en/latest/customization.html>_. Create your own rules!

.. code-block:: python

  >>> from coolname import RandomGenerator
  >>> generator = RandomGenerator({
  ...   'all': {
  ...     'type': 'cartesian',
  ...     'lists': ['first_name', 'last_name']
  ...   },
  ...   'first_name': {
  ...     'type': 'words',
  ...     'words': ['james', 'john']
  ...   },
  ...   'last_name': {
  ...     'type': 'words',
  ...     'words': ['smith', 'brown']
  ...   }
  ... })

Breaking changes:
- Renamed RandomNameGenerator to RandomGenerator.
- randomize was removed, because it was just an alias to random.seed.
Phrase lists <https://coolname.readthedocs.io/en/latest/customization.html#phrases-list>_
give you even more freedom when creating custom generators.
You can seed or even replace the underlying random.Random instance, see
Randomization <https://coolname.readthedocs.io/en/latest/randomization.html>_.
Change the default generator using COOLNAME_DATA_DIR and COOLNAME_DATA_MODULE. This also saves memory!
Total number of combinations = 60 billions.
