Names :-) Here are some amusing name generators I wrote in PHP – enjoy! Reload this page to generate new names. Click here for a cut-down version of this page, which reloads faster and therefore allows names to be generated more rapidly!
Bizarre Name Generator
 If you’re a fan of the BBC’s radio comedy
programme The Goon Show, then you’ll be used to hearing about daft objects, such as granite banjos, small string pies,
cardboard chickens, metal trilbies, shredded cardboard wigs, lead beards, ground-floor attics, mutterjupp telescopes, prehistoric Irish stews, steam-driven rockets, electrified Mongolian bagpipes,
waterproof gas-stoves, reinforced concrete socks, and other similar nonsense!If this style of humour appeals to you, then you’ll probably enjoy my Bizarre Name Generator. It’s a simple bit of PHP which randomly combines words from a huge list (1,130 words). Occasionally, the names it produces are almost realistic, such as:
Star Trek: The Name Generator
 In many episodes
of Star Trek: The Next Generation, the starship Enterprise encounters strange spaceborne
phenomena. Usually Data is the first to detect such phenomena, and he then informs Captain Picard. For example, he might say: “Captain, I am detecting severe gravimetric
fluctuations.” Star Trek: The Name Generator creates names of spaceborne phenomena which sound similar to those featured in the show.Also see my Star Trek TNG episode ratings page. ManagementSpeak Generator
 Most people who work in an office have
encountered ManagementSpeak (also known
as business speak). This usually refers to silly phrases which are deliberately intended to sound more
complicated than necessary, such as “synergistic encapsulation methodology”, “proactive leverage framework”, or “dynamic logistics
infrastructure”.ManagementSpeak can also refer to pointless phrases which attempt to sound funky, cool and modern, such as “our customers are real people”, or “we must employ blue-sky thinking if we’re to all sing from the same hymn sheet”. In case you don’t really believe that companies use such silly phrases, here’s a list I compiled from the website of a creative design agency in the UK:
My ManagementSpeak Generator produces meaningless management tasks using a mixture of ManagementSpeak terms – try asking your boss whether he’s considered “promulgating an intrinsic modality orchestrator”! If you enjoy this generator, then you might also enjoy this amusing memo I wrote, which is stuffed full of ManagementSpeak, but is utterly meaningless!   Fiscal methodology memorandumA related subject is the design of corporate logos. A design company will be paid a ridiculous amount of money to produce a new logo, along with several pages of meaningless waffle to try to convince people that the logo embodies some deep philosophical principles. Some amusing examples include:
Dark Ritual Generator
 In movies or TV shows about evil fantasy
creatures (such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer), there’s often some ancient long-forgotten ritual which the
protagonist must perform at the climax of the movie or episode, involving vampires, ghosts, demons, poltergeists, etc. The names of these rituals are often amusingly sinister
(eg. the Dark Summoning of the Demon of Blackness), and my Dark Ritual Generator creates names of this kind.
