I'd be more impressed if it wasn't just yet another "slap a bunch of words together" random name generator.

I understand.🙏 Could you point me to one? I just couldn't come up with the right search terms to find some nice lib via google. The need for something like this came up in one of my projects, and since I couldn't find an existing solution, I decided to build it myself. Then I thought others might find it useful as well. Would you tell me what you expected? I'm always open to improve.

As I said, there are way too many generators which just append.

I wanted the username to be beautiful and also maybe easy to remember. Like VibrantBlueOrchid. I don't know if combining syllables would work. Not being an linguistic. Could you provide some examples, on how you would envision that? I know that syllables are connected by the intonation they create. That means you can't combine them freely or in other words. There is some constraint in forming words out of random syllables where an ai algorithm might help. Though I have no idea how to do that.

I've seen some Markov generators for passwords that create "random" strings that arent real words but can be pronounced and remembered as if they were, follow the constraints you mention.
That's where I'd start. - you don't need "AI", you just need to know the rules and have an algorithm.
love2Bbreath3Dlife@reddit (OP)
There is no AI involved here.
SwiftOneSpeaks@reddit
You said "where an ai algorithm might help". I was responding to that.
love2Bbreath3Dlife@reddit (OP)
Ups. Sorry. Good info from you. Thanks
Lucretia9@reddit
Nope, no idea. That's why I mentioned AI, that should have a better idea on how to combine them. could be a new mode. Anyways, just a thought.

I've been using https://www.madcatchat.com/usernames/cool-usernames-aesthetic but there is too many usernames to pick and generate I end up just using one I like

Interesting. But for me not that beautiful 🙏 Got replaceable-violetblue-profession-950 You could just generate some random letters. The main idea of my approach was to provide something maybe memorizzable. Though it might still be long to be memorable.

It's entirely configurable using your own dictionaries and such as well as changing the suffix length (zero if that's ones desire). Your generated name was just per the defaults. But thanks for giving it a try. I suppose I should give more thought to the defaults.so that prettier names are generated. Cheers.

I would suggest renaming
gentogenerateUsername.genmight not make sense in all contexts. Longer, descriptive names make more sense.The same might be true for
generator. What if someone already has some sort of generator code in the file/project? This would only add vagueness. Though this is less important if the function is named better.Congratulations on your launch! 😁

I like it. Good job OP!
agentrsdg@reddit
Is it yours? If so can you add a demo link there?
love2Bbreath3Dlife@reddit (OP)
Right now it's a backend only library and I would have to host it somewhere to run a demo. Maybe will add that with some further iteration. Thinking about adding more word lists to choose from and even language specific word lists.
