A service to provide consistent, stable names for anything that needs one

Nameifier - Because naming things is hard

Nameifier is a tool for generating consistent, stable sets of names, using only a seed string and a counter. It's nice for making lists of hostnames or other data where a name is easier to remember than a number.
