# random_names
Convert int to random name, like tree_dance and convert it back to same int.
Like [git-name](https://pypi.org/project/git-name/) which converts hashes to memorable names and back.
Also like the [Mnemonic Major System](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mnemonic_major_system) which converts
strings of numbers it phrases to aid in memorization, implemented here [mnemonic-major-encoder](https://pypi.org/project/mnemonic-major-encoder/)
In action here: https://major-system.info/en/
Usage
-----
```
from random_names.make_names import number_to_name,number_from_name
# TODO: needs a user specified separator
name = number_to_name(100,"prefix","q")
print(name) # prefix_q_activated
number = number_from_name(name)
assert number==100
```
# Why
Lets say that your users need to type in a long number, 48342342. It would be easier to
type in tree_dance. But your app still needs that number, so you need to convert it
back. This is similar to [docker container names](https://github.com/moby/moby/blob/master/pkg/namesgenerator/names-generator.go), except reversable.
# How
I map 10,000 words to 4 digits, twice. That yields two words
covering 100,000,000 numbers.
If you use a short word list, you can't generate enough names.
If you use any dictionary, you get a lot of funny, obscene or offensive names. So
I ran the world list through cuss word detection & removed most of the worst.
