I wondered what would happen if I used my stupid and occasionally inapropriate NPC names as a data set for a markov chain. And here we are. The Markov code is from donjon, who has many great generators for DMing.
The 'Also Consider' section pulls a random name from the source data set. It's not generated, just randomly picked.
While the names are often incoherent, voweless, or just uninteresting, I have also been pleased to discover some pretty funny and enjoyable names that I would never have thought of myself. Having silly jumping-off points is the real goal.
The 'Bad Pokénames' button uses a self explanatory data set for the Markov chains. The 'Rude Names of Magic' button uses a data set of NPC names from my favorite D&D podcast, Rude Tales of Magic. (Thanks, Wiki). The generated names aren't great. Often, the humor comes from their proximity to irreverent dictionary words or phrases, and scrambling them on a morpheme level disconnects that. Still, funny name-like words do occasionally pop out of the generator.
In addition to Rude Tales of Magic, I have to shout out Blaseball, which might have the best name generator ever created. I have cribbed many NPC names from Blaseball.
