A simple name generation library meant to generate 'regen' names for soccer-style management and simulation games. Currently only supports male names.

Functions

generateName(nat, secondNat) is a standalone name generation function. Primary nationality is mandatory. Secondary nationality is optional.

Nationality must either be the full name of the nation, or the 3-letter abbreviation of the nation. mappings.json shows supported name-nationality pairings.

generateNamesFromList(nationalities) will batch-generate a list of generated names from a list of nationalities and potential second nationalities. If only a primary nationality is needed, it can be provided as a string in the input list. If a second nationality is used with the primary nationality, it must be provided as a tuple e.g. ['FRA', 'COD'] for a person with French nationality and Congolese second nationality.
