Replace \"Dummy LLM API\" credentials with your preferred language model API key\n2. Update webhook path and authentication as needed for your application\n3. Test with different parameters: gender (masculine/feminine/neutral), count (1-20), reference_name (optional)\n4. Integrate webhook URL with your design tools, Bubble apps, or other platforms\n\n## Requirements\n- LLM API access (OpenAI, Claude, or other language model)\n- n8n instance (cloud or self-hosted)\n- Platform capable of making HTTP POST requests\n\n## API Usage\nPOST to webhook with JSON body:\n```json\n{\n  \"gender\": \"masculine\",\n  \"count\": 5,\n  \"reference_name\": \"Alex Chen\" // optional\n}\n```\n\nResponse:\n```json\n{\n  \"success\": true,\n  \"names\": [\"Marcus Johnson\", \"David Kim\", \"Sofia Rodriguez\", \"Chen Wei\", \"James Wilson\"],\n  \"count\": 5\n}\n```\n\n## How to customize\n- Modify AI prompt for specific naming styles or regions\n- Add additional parameters (age, profession, cultural background)\n- Connect to databases for persistent name storage\n- Integrate with design tools APIs (Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD)\n- Create batch processing for large mockup projects"
