Allot Different Random Name to Turtles in Netlogo - random

Question

I have created 10 turtles in netlogo using
create-ordered-turtles 10
[
let b median (list -17 (random-normal 0 5) 16)
setxy b -12
set size 3 ;
set color black
]
Now I want to assign each turtle a random and different name using a random function like this
one-of [ "Name1" "Name2" "Name3" "Name4" "Name5" "Name6" "Name7" "Name8" "Name9" "Name10"]
Which means that all 10 turtles will have names from Name1 to Name10. But no two turtles will have same name.
Also I want to assign each turtle a different integer amount.
Can anyone please guide me how can I do it. I will be really thankful. Thanks

If we stick to your problem description, the simplest answer is the following
turtles-own [name]
to setup
ca
let names [ "Name1" "Name2" "Name3" "Name4" "Name5"
"Name6" "Name7" "Name8" "Name9" "Name10"]
create-ordered-turtles 10
[
let b median (list -17 (random-normal 0 5) 16)
setxy b -12
set size 3 ;
set color black
set name item who names
]
end
You can assign the "integer amount" in the same way. If you want an approach that is not so specialized to your problem description, you could create a name-random-turtles procedure and call it with the list of names at the end our your setup. For example,
to name-random-turtles [#names]
let _n length #names
let _turtles [self] of (n-of _n turtles) ;list of turtles, in random order
foreach n-values _n [?] [
let _turtle item ? _turtles
let _name item ? #names
ask _turtle [set name _name]
]
end
