It works both as a command-line tool and a Python library, letting you pick from adjectives, nouns, verbs, names, and miscellaneous words to build memorable strings like 'sleek-voxel' or 'blaring-crocodile'. The package includes dozens of word subcategories spanning domains like music theory, astronomy, sports, and programming, and you can mix in your own custom words.\n\nThe primary use case is replacing numeric IDs with pronounceable, easy-to-remember alternatives for files, containers, or any system that needs human-friendly identifiers. It has no runtime dependencies, making it simple to integrate. However, the project has not been updated since January 2023 and is marked abandoned, so there is no active maintenance, bug fixes, or support for new Python versions beyond 3.9.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need a simple, dependency-free random name generator and can accept that the project is no longer maintained. The code is stable and has no known vulnerabilities, but you should not expect bug fixes or updates for newer Python versions. Suitable for one-off scripts, testing, and development tools where the lack of active maintenance is not a blocker."},"id":"randomname","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/randomname","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/randomname.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/randomname/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-01-29","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"randomname","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Generate random adj-noun names like docker and github."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":851427,"position":4903,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.2.1"}
