Depending on your name, you may have some pretty interesting usernames that you could use for your social profile accounts! This app searches a dictionary of English words to locate matches within your name. The search tries to match every letter in each word to a consective letter in your name.

For example, "Matthew Emes" matches "memes". "Danny Kyung" matches "dank".

If you're interested in more technical details, the code finds the longest matching dictionary word that is a substring, but not necessarily consecutively (ie., a sparse substring) within your name. Only matches with the maximum length are shown in the output. The dictionary word list comes from the Enable word list.

Here are some additional examples:

Example Inputs

• Donald Knuth
• Alan Turing
• Claude Shannon

Example Outputs

• Donut
• Alanin, Anting
