It'd be cool if it didn't suggest names that very obviously don't sound good in (at least common) non-english languages, eg., I got "culojoo" as a suggestion for 3 syllables, which won't sound good in Spanish at all.

Names are totally random, not checked against any dictionary, that's what I thought was fun. It would be hard to appreciate the goodness of a name, at least programmatically, how would you do that ?

tenken is right, I meant to say "not let names have vulgar connotations in other languages." In the example above, the name started with "culo", which translates into "ass" in Spanish. Here's an example of a service that does that: http://wordsafety.com/

Nevertheless, it's a pretty cool idea! :)

He's saying be sure the generator doesn't sound like a bad name in any language.

I'd say make a dictionary of bad words and their syllble sounds. Then disallow close Levienstein based words....

Looks pretty cool, I've been playing with it for a while now, too bad the refresh button is so small on mobile.

Mind if I steal the concept for namegrep.com? :)
