This generator generates random names using a Markov Chain algorithm, based on a list of pre-existing names. The length of the chain determines the similarity of the generated names and the source names; longer chains are closer to the originals, but lack variety. They may also be too recognisable as composites of parts of existing names (which is exactly what they are...) Very long chains may also limit the number of names produced.
The names generated are suitable for use in RPGs, computer games, stories etc. - anywhere where you want to give a flavour of a particular culture, and yet maintain a difference between your creation and your source material. An amount of hand-picking may be needed to find ones suitable for your purposes, and a little hand-editing - or using a good-sounding name out of its orignal context - may also be useful.
The code for this generator is available:
