Random Name GeneratorIntroduction This is a very simple program that generates random names based on letter frequency associatations. It works by taking a list of names, building a frequency table and then output a load of names based on these frequencies.
What's it useful for? When David Braben originally wrote Elite (on the BBC Micro) he only had around 22K of memory to work with. However, he managed to squeeze in 9 galaxy's worth of names and planetary systems using a very clever randomly seeded routine. Part of this routine was to generate pseudo random names for the planets. He may have used a routine similar to this one (although, with reduced data).If you are writing an RPG or any other game that may require bizzare and totally unique names, then this program will be very very useful to you. Below is an example of the names that this program can generate,
