Fantasy Name Generator¶

Your friend is writing a fantasy novel set in the mythical land of Aetheria, but they're struggling to create character names. Help them by building a name generator!

Below, you'll find:

1. A list of first_names suitable for Aetherian characters
2. A list of last_names suitable for Aetherian characters
3. The randint function to help you select random names

Part 1: Generate a Single Name¶

Write a function random_name() that returns a randomly generated full name.

Example:

print(random_name())
# Output: "Thranduil Starfire"

Part 2: Generate an Adventuring Party¶

Write a function random_party(party_size) that generates multiple unique character names and returns them as a grammatically correct string.

Examples:

print(random_party(1))
# Output: "Thranduil Brightblade"

print(random_party(2))
# Output: "Gandalf Ironfist and Celeborn Starfire"

print(random_party(3))
# Output: "Thranduil Brightblade, Gandalf Ironfist, and Celeborn Starfire"

Requirements:

• Single character: just the name
• Two characters: "Name1 and Name2"
• Three or more: "Name1, Name2, and Name3"
• No duplicate names in the party!

Helpful Hints¶

Using randint¶

randint(a, b)  # Returns random integer from a to b (inclusive)
# Example: randint(0, 9) could return any number from 0 to 9

Building Strings¶

result = ""
for i in range(3):
    result += str(i)
print(result)  # "012"

Getting List Length¶

Remember: if a list has 10 items, valid indices are 0-9!

Bonus Challenges¶

• Expand the name lists with your own creative additions
• Add titles or epithets (e.g., "Thranduil Starfire the Bold")
• Create themed parties (all warriors, all magic-users, etc.)
• Add a function to generate character descriptions
