Mapping string based on first letter
<p>I have a list of items that I want to obfuscate based on the letter of the item's name. For example:</p>

<pre><code>ABC_Classified
BXY_Classified
ZX_Classified
</code></pre>

<p>Key:</p>

<pre><code>A -&gt; Adam
B -&gt; Bale
Z -&gt; Talking
</code></pre>

<p>Result:</p>

<pre><code>ABC_Classified ==&gt; Adam
BXY_Classified ==&gt; Bale
ZX_Classified ==&gt; Talking
</code></pre>

<p>The first way to do this, which would be extremely repetitious, would be having 26 <code>if/elif</code> statements for this.</p>

<p>What would be the best and most concise way to accomplish the above?</p>
