Does anybody know any random name generators that let you input which names to choose from? I want to rename my code snippets R us thingy.

I've got one!

<code>var/list/Names = list("Sariat's Name 1","Sariat's Name 2","Sariat's Name 3") mob/verb/Add(msg as text) Names += msg mob/verb/Remove(name in Names) Names -= name mob/verb/GetName() usr << pick(Names)</code>

Here's another one.

<code>var/list/Names = list("Sariat","Notsogood","Monkeys","Foomer","Chicken",\ "Floppy","Chipmunk","Piano","Jungle","Microwave") mob/verb/GetName() var/words=rand(1,3) var/output = "" for(words,words>0,words--) output += "[pick(Names)] " usr << output</code>

What on earth do you need a site for when you can build your own? And I only use programs for it. Websites aren't very good about letting you input your own stuff.

There's this site I bookmarked a few months ago:

I think what you're really looking for, though, is more of a phrase generator than a name generator. The two concepts are different, because one tries to build words from spelling/phonetic templates, while the other tries to build phrases from grammar templates.

Hmmm, something like this but super hero style would be wonders for my game! I would like to set NPC teams according to this :)


I like the team generator feature. But its too fantasy like. If anybody could find a super hero one like this, hook me up :)
