I was inspired by @JohnStabler's ship name generator to geek out a bit and code up a pattern based name generator.

So I did.

It's very rough and ready, and might throw errors, but it does work.

The concept is that you can pass in a pattern such as Adjective Noun, Adverb Verb Noun, or whatever and get out a random name that matches the pattern.

For starters I'm looking for people who'd like to help develop some interesting patterns.

The biggest problem at the moment is the immensely large and somewhat mental word-list. It needs narrowing down to be more Elitesque.

Instructions are on the demo page.

Let us know if you have a pattern you like.

Love it! Nice work Iain, some very Iain M Banks-ish names possible with this.

Presumably you're a fan??

Awhile back I made a random name generator too, although mines a lot more simpler (it uses just two list of words, and combines them). It seems even your more complex one is coming up with some pretty random things :) I guess thats the trouble with a random ship name generator - a computer doesnt really understand what its putting together.
