Split Every Line In Txt Into Separate Txt File, Named Same As The Line

Hi All

Is there a way to export every line into new txt file where by the title of each txt output are same as the line [or its content]?

I have this txt files containing names:

Code:
Kandra Vanhooser
Rhona Menefee
Reynaldo Hutt
Houston Rafferty
Charmaine Lord
Albertine Poucher
Juana Maes
Mitch Lobel
Janette Funderburke
Magdalen Null

The last names are included so it's most likely has no duplicate lines.

I would like to just print or split them into separate txt files. Something like this:

Kandra Vanhooser.txt
Rhona Menefee.txt
Reynaldo Hutt.txt
Houston Rafferty.txt
Charmaine Lord.txt
Albertine Poucher.txt
Juana Maes.txt
Mitch Lobel.txt
Janette Funderburke.txt
Magdalen Null.txt


And each of the txt file has each name in it.

However I only know this command. And it's not even close to it

split -l 1 file.txt output

It doesn't do what I want Smilie

Thanks in advance.

Regards
