Re: ship namer
Umm... yeah... or I just point them to the Everchanging Book of Names program and save myself the work.  Random name generation is rather complicated. |

Re: ship namer
You are an odd one...
se5a, I could not get that generator to work... perhaps it just hates non-IE browsers... will have to check with IE in the morning.

Haha, some of those generators are hilarious.

Re: ship namer
My favorite website for generating wierd sounding alien names:
http://www.abooks.com/alien/
It generates names randomly, but they follow specific rules regarding combinations of vowels consonants and syllables. The results are random enough to be totally alien, but still are pronouncable words.
Hit refresh to generate new words.

I do name every ship individually. |
