Python Application to Create a Random Boy’s Name

Python is a very powerful language that is used by an estimated 8.2 million people. The number of Python programmers is growing 22% a year.

Are you looking to create a web program that randomly comes up with a full name for a man? There could be a number of reasons that you would like to do this. You might want to write a novel and don’t want to keep using the same names for your characters.

One of the ways that you can do this is by creating a program in Python. Here is the syntax for a Python application that randomly creates a full boy’s name for you. This application uses the 100 most common boy’s first names and the 100 most common last names in the United States.

If you wanted to come up with a program that created a random name for a character in a different culture, then you could simply replace the names in the list with the most common names in that country instead.

import random

Lists of first names and last names

first_names = [
“James”, “Robert”, “John”, “Michael”, “David”, “William”, “Richard”, “Joseph”, “Thomas”, “Christopher”,
“Charles”, “Daniel”, “Matthew”, “Anthony”, “Mark”, “Donald”, “Steven”, “Andrew”, “Paul”, “Joshua”, “Kenneth”,

last_names = [

“Nelson”, “Baker”, “Hall”, “Rivera”, “Campbell”, “Mitchell”, “Carter”, “Roberts”, “Gomez”, “Phillips”,
“Evans”, “Turner”, “Diaz”, “Parker”, “Cruz”, “Edwards”, “Collins”, “Reyes”, “Stewart”, “Morris”, “Morales”,
“Murphy”, “Cook”, “Rogers”, “Gutierrez”, “Ortiz”, “Morgan”, “Cooper”, “Peterson”, “Bailey”, “Reed”, “Kelly”,
“Howard”, “Ramos”, “Kim”, “Cox”, “Ward”, “Richardson”, “Watson”, “Brooks”, “Chavez”, “Wood”, “James”,
“Bennet”, “Gray”, “Mendoza”, “Ruiz”, “Hughes”, “Price”, “Alvarez”, “Castillo”, “Sanders”, “Patel”, “Myers”,

]

def generate_random_name():
first_name = random.choice(first_names)
last_name = random.choice(last_names)
return f”{first_name} {last_name}”

Generate and print 10 random names

for _ in range(10):
print(generate_random_name())
