Random name generator

School club

A random name generator.

A random name generator can be useful for creating dummy data for test purposes.

Make

Write a program to output a random name from one list of forenames and another list of surnames.

Use this boilerplate code as a starting point:

TRINKET MAIN.PY

Success Criteria

Remember to add a comment before a subprogram, selection or iteration statement to explain its purpose.

Complete the subprogram called `generate_name` that:

  1. Assigns an array of forenames. You can use the names: Muhammad, Noah, Jack, Lily, Sophia, Olivia or some of your own.
  2. Assigns an array of surnames. You can use the names: Wang, Smith, Devi, Jones, Kim and Rodríguez or some of your own.
  3. It returns a random forename with a space and a random surname.

Complete the `main program` so that:

  1. It outputs a random name.

Typical inputs and outputs from the program would be:

Lily Rodríguez

Sophia Devi

Evaluate

Run your program several times to check that your program has met the success criteria.

Check that you have:

  • Used comments within the code to describe the purpose of subprograms, conditions and iterations.
  • Used meaningful identifier names. That means the names of subprograms and variables indicate what they are for.
