uuidBabyName
============

A python utility to turn a 36 hex-char UUID into a human-pronounceable baby name. Inspired by Darius "@tinysubversions" Kazemi: https://twitter.com/tinysubversions/status/336947808059936769

The pronounceability gag is stolen from hastebin, http://hastebin.com/, with their clever alternate-consonants-and-vowels trick.

The name-generation itself is fully deterministic, which is an interesting twist to me: a lot of the fun CPU-generated-text stuff I do depends on a random number generator to produce its fun outcomes (a la @fakespearean, http://twitter.com/fakespearean). I guess in this case I'm just outsourcing the RNG to the UUID part. But it's still cool that these names are kind of hiding inside the ugly `55ed2e23-bb45-4e25-abff-033a42927663` string -- given the UUID, we don't need to rely on (additional) luck in order to reveal the name **"Wa Meka Rutoki-Boporez-Yu."**

My favorite name yet: `edf881dc-c811-4e71-b316-3b3ad48ffe71` actually means **"Fito Gipupod."**

How It Works
------------

The UUIDs are strings of characters, each character being a hexidecimal digit (a _hexit_). Any pair of them taken together can define a number between 0 (`00`) and 255 (`ff`).

Take the 21 consonants and 5 (basic, non-_y_) vowels, and form all consonant-vowel ordered-pairs. Call these 105 pairings the space of _syllables_, and number them in order.

Each consecutive pair of hexits, together forming the number _n_, generates a new syllable by looking up which consonant-vowel pair is assigned that number _n_. This repeats for all the hexit pairs in the UUID, growing the baby name syllable by syllable.

If _n_ is bigger than 105, there's a few twists I added to make things more interesting. White space might be added, or a dash, or I might insert a consonant and _then_ add the white space/dash. The control flow over how to handle large _n_ is all governed with some modulo arithmetic over _n_.

All this leads to into some cleanup: stripping off trailing whitespace or dashes, for example, and capitalizing the name-parts. A WARNING: This cleanup means two different UUIDs can yield the same baby name, so don't get cute and try using this for reals as a source of UUIDs.
