Getting started with randomNames

After installing the package from either CRAN or GitHub, it’s simple to generate random names using the following simple instructions.

By default, the randomNames function supplies a single random last and first name separated by a comma:

To generate more random names, just supply a positive integer to the randomNames function:

The randomNames function accepts several arguments including n, gender, ethnicity, which.names, name.order, and name.sep.

randomNames(n,
            gender,
            ethnicity,
            which.names="both",
            name.order="last.first",
            name.sep=", ",
            sample.with.replacement=TRUE,
            return.complete.data=FALSE)

For complete documentation on values accepted for arguments, see the function documentation

The first argument, n, controls the number of names returned by the randomNames function:

> randomNames(5) ## 5 last, first names
[1] "Bayona, Christopher" "Valentine, Allison"  "Sandoval, Joseph"    "Avants, Kali"        "Elliott, Kharim"    

The second argument, gender, controls the gender (0=male, 1=female) of the first names returned. This argument can be a vector up to the same length as the number of names requested.

> randomNames(5, gender=1) ## 5 female last, first names
[1] "Siu, Abigail"      "Lizardo, Elsa"     "Wilcox, Taylor"    "Sinath, Christine" "Zamora, Waylene"  
> 
> randomNames(5, gender=c(0,0,1,1,1)) ## 2 male  and 3 female last, first names
[1] "Alcocer, John"            "al-Hannan, Abdul Fattaah" "el-Zaki, Khaira"          "Brown, Kelsie"            "Stoor, Mickela"          

The third argument, ethnicity, controls the ethnicity of the names returned. The following integer codes/ethnicities are accepted:

1. American Indian or Native Alaskan
2. Asian or Pacific Islander
3. Black (not Hispanic)
4. Hispanic
5. White (not Hispanic)
6. Middle-Eastern, Arabic

> randomNames(5, gender=0, ethnicity=3) ## 5 African American, male last, first names
[1] "Magraff, Robert"     "Fortenberry, Elijah" "Adams, Eli"          "Henderson, Seiko"    "Teshome, Patrick"   

The fourth argument, which.names controls which names are returned. The argument accepts the values: both (the default), last, first, or complete.data

> randomNames(5, gender=1, ethnicity=6, which.names="first") ## 5 Middle Eastern/Arabic, female first names
[1] "Shafee'a" "Fareeda"  "Nusaiba"  "Fidda"    "Mu'hsina"

The fifth argument, name.order, controls the order in which the names are returned. The argument is only relevant if which.names=both. The argument accepts the values: last.first (the default) and first.last.

> randomNames(5, gender=1, ethnicity=6, name.order="first.last") ## 5 first last names
[1] "Awaatif, al-Rafiq"    "Aadila, al-Koroma"    "Husniyya, al-Shahan"  "Khairiya, el-Barakat" "Mutee'a, el-Atallah" 

The sixth argument, name.sep, is a character string that controls the separator used when both names are returned. The default separator is ,.

> randomNames(5, gender=1, ethnicity=6, name.order="first.last", name.sep=" ") ## 5 first last names separated by a space
[1] "Mu'mina al-Qasim"    "Shadhaa el-Siddiqui" "Shameema al-Hakim"   "Sireen el-Hameed"    "Sulama el-Ebrahim"
