       petname  - utility to generate "pet names", consisting of a random combination of adverbs,
       an adjective, and a proper name

SYNOPSIS

       petname [-w|--words INT] [-s|--separator STR]

OPTIONS

           -w|--words            number of words in the name, default is 2
           -s|--separator        string used to separate name words, default is '-'

DESCRIPTION

       This  utility  will generate "pet names", consisting of a random combination of an adverb,
       adjective, and proper name.  These are useful for unique hostnames, for instance.

       The default packaging contains about  2000  names,  1300  adjectives,  and  4000  adverbs,
       yielding nearly 10 billion unique combinations, covering over 32 bits of unique namespace.

       As such, PetName tries to follow the tenets of Zooko's triangle.  Names are:

        - human meaningful
        - decentralized
        - secure

EXAMPLES

           $ petname
           wiggly-Anna

           $ petname --words 1
           Marco

           $ petname --words 3
           quickly-scornful-Johnathan

           $ petname --words 4
           dolorously-leisurely-wee-Susan

           $ petname --separator ":"
           hospitable:Isla
