BNP is free software that helps you pick a name for your baby. When you launch it, BNP asks for your last name. It then asks for a text file filled with names (one name per line). A sample list of names is included (samplenames.txt), but you should make your own consisting of names that you are considering for first and middle names. When you provide this list to BNP, it will then ask for you to choose a name for the results file.
BNP then combines all the names in your list into every possible combination and formats them for printing (3 columns of text).
Our Review: Here's a nice use of algorithms that might make a difference in your life - Baby Name Picker will aid you in selecting a name for your baby. It requires two inputs - your last name, and a text file containing singular names that you like the sound of. Baby Name Picker will then create a text file containing every manipulation of the names you provided - leaving you to chant each one softly to yourself until you find one that you like! Also provides a few statistics; longest name, shortest name, average length, and most common initials.
