This is a function that will generate a random name. Each letter is chosen based on the previous letter, so that letters are likely to appear in their usual patterns, and (most of the) generated names are pronounceable.

Both a minimum and a maximum length of the name can be specified, though neither needs to be passed to the function.

Hehe. I think I will use this next time I have to write something with a made-up name in it... I'm usually very unoriginal.

Cool stuff

i wrote 2 random name generators...well they're more of random letter generators...

one pick random letters for the whole name, and the other does vowel, consonant, repeat.

have to have lots of names output to find a few good ones.

Pretty cool. It certainly gives...interesting results.

Uh, if you're slow like me, or you've never used a function before, like me, add this to the bottom of the code:

Put me in to room with a computer running this script and a sandwich

I will be there HOURS

serioysly how fun can a "simple" script as this be?

Here is a modified version of the script that looks at the previous two letters when choosing the next letter, instead of just the previous letter. This allows it to create words that more closely resemble normal words. However, the extra probabilities listed require significantly more space than the first version.

The syntax of the function has not been changed between the versions.

[Simply Curious]

I modified the function again. It now has an optional parameter that specifies the beginning of the word.

For example, RandomName(4, 15, "Ad") would return a random name with length between 4 and 15 letters that starts with "Ad".

Great script, could you show a way to send the generated value by use of the Send function?

Edit: Nvm, I've got it. Great script

[Petru]

Nice script. Reminds me of my Random Word Generating Module...

[SoLong&Thx4AllTheFish]

I missed this first time around, vote++ for the fun factor. Amazingly entertaining

Pretty nice!

Nice Script!
But how do I make it so it will type the name into... lets say notepad, the push return and type the next one?

Thanks!
