Random name generator

[slang-jockey.livejournal.com]

I found this random name generator and thought of y'all.   I like it because you can set how obscure you'd like the names to be, the gender, and how many names it gives you.  It gives you last names too, but I've just been ignoring those; though it would be helpful for naming characters or somewhat. 

Anyway, here's the very first list I got, with obscurity set at 50.


Rod  --Ech.
Carolin --I'd rather it have an 'e' at the end.
Ali --Don't like it.
Alvaro --Something about this appeals to me, actually.
Son --Nah.
Ela --Kind of a cute nn, but I like it better with two 'L's
Marcel --Like this one.
Sadye -- 'Sadie?' 
Jeffry --This isn't bad, but I don't like the nn Jeff. 

Anyway, have at it, it's pretty entertaining.

Pretty entertaining indeed.

Although it seems 'obscure' also means throwing random 'y's in a name ;) I got, among others:
Sanjuana (twice!)
Roxane
Tommye
Marlin (I actually like this one)
Elinore (sort of pretty as well)
Blondell
Kai (like!)
Twanda (WTF)

Yeah, I noticed after a little while that setting it at all-the-way obscure seemed to mean 'kr8yve and otherwise made-up sounding' names... and I started getting names twice in the same as well. In fact, I felt sort of foolish for having posted this after the novelty wore off, but oh well. ^ ^
