Project Name Generator

Everyone loves a fun project name. That's why I wanted to adopt the Metal Gear Solid/Militaires Sans Frontieres naming convention. The full name is made up of 2 words: an adjective and an animal. The adjective relates back to the project in some way while the animal aids memory association. This, in my humble opinion, is the most meaningful 5 minute project in Python XD


Step 1, find a repository of adjectives and a repository of animals. Step 2, remove any offensive or negative words after downloading them. Step 3, use Python to select a random word from each data set and return the words.


To be honest, this is more of a problem solving "challenge" than a technical one. It's a great way to see how quickly you can pull resources together to complete a simple task. It can be made more robust or challenging by adding additional elements such as scraping, data base management, semantic analysis, and all sorts of other fun mini-challenges.


I'm probably going to use this as the new "Hello World!" from now, just to put that extra oomph in my practical knowledge. Besides, who doesn't want to name next software package "Friendly Llama"???
