Installation

------------

You can install it using pip from the repository as:

    pip install indian-names

Usage

-----

Indian-names can be used as a command line utility or imported as a Python module.

#### Command Line Usage

To use the script from the command line:

```

    $ indian-names

    Anand Dubey

```

#### Python Module Usage

Here are examples of all current features:

```

    >>> import indian_names

    >>> indian_names.get_full_name()

    'Nisha Asthana'

    >>> indian_names.get_full_name(gender='male')

    'Manish Gupta'

    >>> indian_names.get_first_name()

    'Siddhant'

    >>> indian_names.get_first_name(gender='female')

    'Kajal'

    >>> indian_names.get_last_name()

    'Tripathi'

```

The module can currently generate 550+ first names for male and female each, and 350+ last names. Overall 400,000+ full names can be generated.

### TODO (Future):

- Increase the number of names possible.

- Implement first/last name pairs for regional names as well. Emphasis on handling first names that are compatible with only certain last names & vice-versa.
