Names are totally random, not checked against any dictionary, that's what I thought was fun. It would be hard to appreciate the goodness of a name, at least programmatically, how would you do that ?

tenken is right, I meant to say "not let names have vulgar connotations in other languages." In the example above, the name started with "culo", which translates into "ass" in Spanish. Here's an example of a service that does that: http://wordsafety.com/

Nevertheless, it's a pretty cool idea! :)

He's saying be sure the generator doesn't sound like a bad name in any language.

I'd say make a dictionary of bad words and their syllble sounds. Then disallow close Levienstein based words....

Levenstein is an absolute metric, I think something like soreson-dice would be more useful.

Regardless, if you take the short keywords and blacklist them by approximation with curse words from several languages I think it would be really hard to get something at all.
