In this tutorial, we will program 'How to Create a Random Name Generator in Python'. We will learn how to generate a random name. The main goal here is to create a program that will provide a unique randomized name. I will provide a sample program to demonstrate the actual coding of this tutorial.

This topic is very easy to understand; just follow the instructions I provide, and you can also do it yourself with ease. The program I will show you covers the basics of programming for generating a random name. I will do my best to provide you with the easiest method of finding the actual age. So, let's start with the coding.

Getting Started:

First you will have to download & install the Python IDLE's, here's the link for the Integrated Development And Learning Environment for Python https://www.python.org/downloads/.

Creating Main Function

This is the main function of the application. The following code will display a simple GUI in terminal console that will display program. To do this, simply copy and paste these blocks of code into the IDLE text editor.

import random
 
ret = False
 
first_names = ['Ada', 'Bela', 'Cade', 'Dax', 'Eva', 'Fynn', 'Gia', 'Hugo', 'Ivy', 'Jax']
last_names = ['Smith', 'Johnson', 'Williams', 'Jones', 'Brown', 'Davis', 'Miller', 'Wilson', 'Moore', 'Taylor']
 
def generate_random_name():
    first_name = random.choice(first_names)
    last_name = random.choice(last_names)
    return f"{first_name} {last_name}"
 
 
while True:
 
 
    print("\n==================== Random Name Generator ==================== \n\n")
 
 
    random_name = generate_random_name()
    input("Press Enter to generate a random name: ")
    print("\n")
    print("Random name:", random_name)
    print("\n")
    opt = input("Do you want to try again?(yes/no): ")
 
    if opt.lower() == 'yes':
            ret=False
    elif opt.lower() == 'no':
            ret=True
            print("Exiting program....")
 
    else:
            print("Please enter yes/no:")
            break
 
    if ret == False:
            continue

This Python script generates random names by combining a first name randomly chosen from a list of first names and a last name randomly chosen from a list of last names. It prompts the user to press Enter to generate a random name and then displays the generated name. The user can choose to try again or exit the program.
