# Nomen [![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/abevoelker/nomen.png)](http://travis-ci.org/abevoelker/nomen) Simple library for formatting (and maybe later, parsing) human names. ## Description The name is latin for "name"; no misandry intended. For now I'm only handling my current use case, which is very basic formatting of American-style names. I am aware of the [complexity of][patio11] human names. ## Synopsis ```ruby require 'nomen' n = Nomen::Name.new(first: 'Katya', middle: 'Verenice', last: 'Voelker', suffix: 'M.D.') n.format # => "Katya Verenice Voelker M.D." n.format(:inverted) # => "Voelker, Katya Verenice M.D." n.middle = nil n.format # => "Katya Voelker M.D." n.format(:inverted) # => "Voelker, Katya M.D." ``` ## Copyright Copyright (c) 2013 Abe Voelker.
