Rust

The Rust crate is namzy on crates.io.

Install

Add the crate to a project:

cargo add namzy

Install the command-line tool:

cargo install namzy

Generate a name

use namzy::{generate, Options};

fn main() {
    let name = generate(&Options {
        seed: None,
    });

    println!("{name}");
}

generate() returns a String.

Options

Use a seed for repeatable generation:

let name = generate(&Options {
    seed: Some(42),
});

Namzy picks one geographic word and one common word from the shared bundled lists, then randomly joins either geographic+common or common+geographic. That gives 500,000 raw ordered source pairings before seam cleanup and replacement collisions.

The crate also exposes join_clean() and Mulberry32 for lower-level use.

CLI

namzy --count 5

With a deterministic seed:

namzy --count 5 --seed 42

CLI flags:

Flag	Description
--count <COUNT>	Print the requested number of names. Defaults to 1.
--seed <SEED>	Seed the generator. For multiple names, each item increments the seed.
