+# Name Picker
+## Requirements
+This project requires __Java 8__
+
+## Description
+This program helps you pick a name from a list according to some conditions. An example list that comes from the [French Government Open Data](https://www.data.gouv.fr/fr/datasets/liste-des-prenoms-par-annee-prs/) is included.
+
+### Conditions
+For the moment, the conditions are :
+
+- 6 letters. No more, no less.
+- No H.
+- Not ending with an A.
+- Alternate vowels and consonant.
+- No repeated letter.
+- Exactly one B, or M, or P.
+
+Next releases are expected to implement a GUI for defining your own conditions.
