# 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!
```python
# 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:
[See the docs](http://christabor.github.io/namebot/)
### 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.
[See the docs for more](http://christabor.github.io/namebot/)
