It provides both a Python API and a command-line utility, with no external dependencies and support for Python 3.6 and later. The package draws inspiration from Docker's container naming and Nextflow's process naming conventions, offering a practical solution for creating readable identifiers in place of random strings or UUIDs.\n\nThe library covers 25 categories spanning science, animals, history, food, technology, and more, each with its own set of nouns. Users can generate simple names like 'talented-toucan', create unique IDs by appending alphanumeric suffixes, customize separators and text case, or mix categories randomly. It's designed for naming temporary directories, session IDs, process names, project names, or submitted jobs\u2014any context where a human-friendly identifier is preferable to a raw hash or sequential number.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is lightweight, dependency-free, well-licensed, and solves a genuine usability problem\u2014replacing opaque identifiers with memorable names. It has no known vulnerabilities and works across current Python versions. The aging maintenance status (407 days since release) is not a blocker for a stable utility with a narrow, well-defined scope, though users should verify that the category data and naming logic meet their specific thematic needs before relying on it in production."},"id":"unique-namer","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/unique-namer","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/unique-namer.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/unique-namer/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-07-03","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"unique-namer","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Generate unique, human-readable, and memorable names or identifiers"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":189089,"position":9935,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.6.2"}
