Overview

The Generator class handles the loading and randomizing the json data store containing the roman name stub json. By default you only need to call the initializer, and as soon as it is instantiated, it builds a random roman name based on the gender given.

To get a new name, either initialize a new generator, or call #regenerate

Example:

full_name = RomanNameGenerator::Generator.new("male").result
