Namingway

Generates a list of last names that can be made with the letters of two or more given last names. namingway is an homage to the character from Final Fantasy IV that would let you change your name.

Usage

node index.js name1 name2
node index.js name1 name2 name3
node index.js name1 name2 --strict

Strict Mode

If you pass the --strict flag as one of the parameters, the matching logic will not reuse letters when determining matches (e.g., Smith and Johnson will not produce Simmons because there is only one M in the source names).
