Hiya,

Anyone know where I can get a decent random name generator? I would like
a download and not a web site. One that does real sounding names as well
as not so real sounding name would be great.

TIA :-)
 
Are there any legitimate uses for random name generation? the only thing i
can think of is spamming, which isn't legitimate.

Yeppers there sure are.

In no special order. :-)

1. passwords
2. character names for stories
3. character names for Role Playing Games
4. pet names
5. email names
6. form filler stuff for those places that require you to register
before you can download software
7. names for your kids :-)
8. sign in names for BBS, forums
9. names for use on mirc, skype, messengers, chat rooms
10. for use in other games like hangman, anagrams, word searches,
11. domain names
12. product names

aliases.

Random name generation is useless in regards to product names.

So again, are there any LEGITIMATE _and PRACTICAL/USEFUL_ uses for random
name generation, other than for spamming?
