names - cli

Random name generator tool that gives you Heroku or Docker-style names.

Usage

Simple! Run without any parameters, you get a name:

> docker run fnichol/names
selfish-change

Need more? Tell it how many:

> docker run fnichol/names 10
rustic-flag
nondescript-crayon
picayune-map
elderly-cough
skinny-jeans
neat-rock
aware-sponge
psychotic-coast
brawny-event
tender-oatmeal

Not random enough? How about adding a 4-number pad:

> docker run fnichol/names --number 5
imported-rod-9680
thin-position-2344
hysterical-women-5647
volatile-pen-9210
diligent-grip-4520
