A script for names like hayl and serz

[roamingnomad]

Recently I was looking at hayl and serz' names. They're nice because they're unique, easy to remember, and short. So, as I was bored, frustrated, and in need of a refocus, I wrote this little Python script to generate four-letter hard-consonant+vowel+soft-consonant+hard-consonant names.

#!/usr/bin/env python
from random import choice

# Vowels
vowels = ['a','e','i','o','u']
# Beginning hard consonants
startcons = ['b','c','d','g','j','k','m','n','p','q','t','v','x','z']
# Ending hard consonoants
endcons = ['b','c','d','g','k','m','n','p','t','x','z']
# Soft Consonants -- note v and z are listed twice
softcons = ['f','h','l','r','s','v','w','z']

print choice(startcons) + choice(vowels) + choice(softcons) + choice(endcons)

[edit] Oh, I see now, 4 letter names! Mine's 5 so that's ok. Though, now the debates going to be about whether to pronounce the K or not!

Nice script....Now if I can only find a name I like. ..zump???

Yeah, I suppose you could make it repeat about ten times... it's interesting to see how many just sound neat and others make me think, "How dumb!"

Fun to play with. You could potentially also set it for other combinations, like hard-consanant+vowel+soft-consonant+vowel+hard-consonant.

And, of course, add "kn" to the list of starting vowels.

haha, I just came up with "pork"!

Nihon-go ga nai des'ka?

#!/usr/bin/env python
from random import choice

# Vowels
vowels = ['a','i','u','e','o','ai','ei','ou','au']
# Beginning hard syllables
startsyls = ['ba','bi','bu','be','bo','bya','byu','byo','da','cha','chi','chu','cho','de','do','ga','gi','gu','ge','go','gya','gyu','gyo','ja','ji','ju','je','jo','ka','ki','ku','ke','ko','kya','kyu','kyo','ma','mi','mu','me','mo','mya','myu','myo','na','ni','nu','ne','no','nya','nyu','nyo','pa','pi','pu','pe','po','pya','pyu','pyo','ta','tsu','te','to','za','zu','ze','zo']
# Ending hard syllables same as above
#
# End Consonnants (only n, m, and s [su])
endcons = ['m','n','s']

print choice(startsyls) + choice(vowels) + choice(startsyls) + choice(endcons)

Rippa-na!

[Nevermind, i figured out and fixed the problem myself !
Pretty proud
it just ended up that i didn't copy the spacing between the lines correctly when i originally copied it from the original post to gedit ]
