README
namegen-data
============
This project contains lists of names. These lists of names are intended as input for name generators, such as [namegen-haskell](https://github.com/ftomassetti/namegen-haskell).
Cities names
============
A list of cities from all countries was obtained from https://www.maxmind.com/en/worldcities.
The file was processed with an application written in Haskell (see the Haskell directory for details).
The files generated are:
directory _citynames_:
* citynames_ch.txt
* citynames_de.txt
* citynames_eg.txt
* citynames_es.txt
* citynames_fr.txt
* citynames_it.txt
* citynames_jp.txt
* citynames_pl.txt
Each of these files contain tens of thousands of names.
Person names
============
A list of person names was obtained from DBPedia.
DBPedia was queries with an application written in Ruby (see the Ruby directory for details).
The files generated are:
directory _personnames_:
* Arabic_female.txt
* Arabic_male.txt
* Dutch_female.txt
* Dutch_male.txt
* Finnish_female.txt
* Finnish_male.txt
* French_female.txt
* French_male.txt
* German_female.txt
* German_male.txt
* Italian_female.txt
* Italian_male.txt
* Japanese_female.txt
* Japanese_male.txt
* Norwegian_female.txt
* Norwegian_male.txt
Each of these files contain tens of names.
In addition to real names I took the list of Elvish names from http://www.candlekeep.com/library/articles/elven_names.htm
Unfortunately I could not contact the original author of the list (the e-mail address reported on the page is incomplete).
