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:
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.
How to setup server and test:
sudo make install
Check out https://github.com/Automotron/namebot-flask to see an example app and configuration setup to use namebot and generate results with test data.
Library Dependencies
See requirements.txt and Makefile for details.
Tests
make install
make tests
Tests are available in the tests/ folder. Test runner is provided by nose and can be run via make.
