qngng is the Queb name generator: next generation.

This is a fork (and then essentially a rewrite) of the more basic qng project which includes more options.

Unfortunately, the qng maintainer is unresponsive and won't follow up with community contributions, so this fork is necessary.

$ pipx run qngng

• Generate a random Queb name from lists of popular Queb first names and surnames, from an existing UDA directory member name, and/or from other lists:

  $ qngng
  Théodore Banville
  

  $ qngng --cat=uda-singers
  Daniel Boucher
  

  $ qngng --cat=lbl
  Stéphane-Albert Boulais
  

  $ qngng --cat=icip
  René Homier-Roy
  

  You can mix categories:

  $ qngng --cat=uda-singers --cat=std
  Karl-Hugo Van De Kerckhove
  

  The available categories are:

  Category	Description
  all	All the categories.
  d31	District 31 characters.
  dug	Dans une galaxie près de chez vous characters.
  icip	ICI Première personalities.
  lbl	La bête lumineuse characters.
  sn	Série noire characters.
  std	Popular first names and surnames.
  uda-actors	UDA actor member names.
  uda-hosts	UDA host member names.
  uda-singers	UDA singer member names.
  uda	UDA member names.

• Generate a random male or female name:

  $ qngng --female
  Karen Cusson
  

  $ qngng --male --cat=uda-hosts
  Claude Poirier
  

• For the std (default) category, generate a double-barreled surname, a middle name, or a middle initial:

  $ qngng --double-surname
  Josiane Fiset-Bellerose
  

  $ qngng --middle-name --female
  Geneviève Margot Chartier
  

  $ qngng --middle-initial
  Coralie D. Trépanier
  

• Print the generated name with various formats:

  $ qngng --snake-case
  laura_viau
  

  $ qngng --kebab-case --cat=uda
  michel-mpambara
  

  $ qngng --camel-case --female --double-surname
  clemenceBriseboisGroulx
  

  $ qngng --cap-camel-case --male --cat=sn
