Working on some Random Piratey Generators...

Recommended Posts

Alas, the piracy bug hath bitten me, and bitten me hard, for I feel infected with the urge to dress and act piratey all over again.

Anyhow, I decided to put my pirately urges into something constructive, and have been working on a pirate name generator. As it is, I believe it's lacking in a few departments - so, I'd consider it a great favor if you'd all check it out and give me some suggestions as to words I could add so as to give it more variety.

Pirate Name Generator

I'll probably make a few more pirate-related generators in the future. Like ship names and pirates. XD

Is there any way of pre-selecting certan factors? Gender for example, The first three names that it came up with for me were -

Jaetty Faced Jill

Old Midship Anna

and

Cask Charlotte

I wouldn't mind, but I am a bloke!!

I quite liked the ship name that came up though.

The Vengeful Locust

Something relentless and very distructive, I like it.

Second choice,

The Vengeful Revenge,

Not so good.

Anyone remember my modest attempt at creating a Pirate name generating formula?

If anyone can come up with a similar formula that works better, I would be glad to hear it. Although I tried, I couldn't do better tan this one.

If you don't like the feminine names it gives you, you can always give 'em to your mother-in-law, your ex-girlfriend, the bully from school... whomever you want, really. :o

I don't know how to make an options menu - at least, not in Java. I know it's been done in PHP, but I really don't want to do PHP generators. One major reason: you have to be online to test/use them, and if I had to be online during the testing phase, it'd take me approximately five grizbillion, three hundred seventy thousand, five hundred and thirty-nine years to get it finished. There are several variables that factor into this, most of which want to use the dial-up Internet.

I have, however, made inquiries as to adding an options menu on a Java-based generator. :)

Thanks again, William! :) Your help is much appreciated. :)

What I could really use now are words you think would work to make good ship names. :) Words that sound pleasant, words to strike terror, or just shiply-shapely-sounding words are all welcome.

I would recommend animal names and names of European cities.

Examples:

Hound

Stag

Hammerhead

Lynx

coastal cities:

gothanburg

Bilbao

Inverness

Cagliari
