Re: Create a unique name
Haha, I know a Jacquelle, so I think you're on the right track. This is fun site to play with, it's cool idea and you've done some nice work on it so far. Darrence (boy) and Connifer (girl) are a hilarious sibling set. These remind me of the made up names they use sometimes in advice columns like Dear Prudence.Also love the syllable filters, although the one-syllable names are pretty hit-or-miss. I got a bunch of real words generating one-syllable, so maybe you could try blacklisting common dictionary words. In the one-syllable range, I also got a fair number of common names (e.g. Dean), even with the 'exclude popular names' filter on. The two-syllable name filter is also a bit off sometimes, especially for names with -ia or -ian (e.g. Randrian, Bianna). Hope that's helpful, if you're looking for feedback. Here were some of my favorite boy/girl name combos.Calexandrew & Everyleen

Thanks for the comments. I agree that the list of blacklisted names should be expanded. I also agree that the syllable counting could be improved. It's hard to accurately count syllables because there's a lot of edge cases. For example, 'ie' is two syllables in Harriet but one syllable in Danielle.
