I need a Taiko Song Name Generator. "Katsugi Boogie" is my current contender... posted by Foosnark at 3:42 PM on November 22, 2011
The dog name generator suggested "Deth" for my dog.
That would go over real well at the dog park. posted by ambrosia at 3:42 PM on November 22, 2011 [1 favorite]
I'm not sure where the Dog Name Generator is based, but I'd consider it unwise to name my black dog "Spade" here in Tennessee. posted by workerant at 3:43 PM on November 22, 2011
the Dog Name Generator is completely ridiculous!! posted by supermedusa at 3:45 PM on November 22, 2011
the dog name generator sucks.... posted by tomswift at 3:47 PM on November 22, 2011
I look forward to linking to these in AskMe questions.
Lilly? I'm not going to name a boy dog Lilly. posted by box at 3:52 PM on November 22, 2011
That baby name genie is pretty terrible. posted by asnider at 4:38 PM on November 22, 2011 [1 favorite]
"Big Boy" is a very bad name suggestion for a female dog, Dog Name Generator. posted by maryr at 4:48 PM on November 22, 2011

...why? does it have some racial meaning? posted by Mars Saxman at 4:56 PM on November 22, 2011
...Actually, I don't think I'd name any dog Spade. It'd be like naming one Newturd. posted by maryr at 4:57 PM on November 22, 2011
Thanks! Bought a new domain that I couldn't believe was available via a wordoid search. I mean, now I have to put something up there, but it is a very nice name.
These sites could end up being very expensive... posted by sciatica at 5:01 PM on November 22, 2011
Mars, In parts of the US, there are some people who *say* spade, when what they mean is *nigger*. It is derogatory, and would be entirely inappropriate to name a dog that in those areas. posted by dejah420 at 5:18 PM on November 22, 2011
So, apparently, the best name for a white dog is "Clorox". posted by adso at 5:31 PM on November 22, 2011
Must .. restrain .. from .. self-linking ..
I may or may not run a site that hosts over fifteen thousand name generators (via a tool that lets people make their own). It's oddly popular among Indonesian teenage girls. posted by bwerdmuller at 5:41 PM on November 22, 2011 [1 favorite]
Bwerdmuller, self-linking is a ban-hammer offense in a FPP, but as a rule, if you have hosted content that is relevant to the topic at hand, and you disclaim by noting that it's a self-link, then it's usually not an issue. So please show us your many generators, don't leave me hanging, dude! posted by dejah420 at 5:44 PM on November 22, 2011
Small, brown female dog...Woody. After my eyebrows shot up, I thought about it and laughed a little at the the brown/ wood connection, sorta like naming a brown dog "Stick." It would be different. posted by Secret Life of Gravy at 7:41 PM on November 22, 2011
The first three results I got from the baby name generator:
Mine are similarly awful. First two for a boy:
Jonathan Ryder
Gabriel Elmer
First two for a girl:
Samara Roselyn
Carmen Jewel
Maybe I'm just really picky, but I would not use any of those names. posted by asnider at 9:07 PM on November 22, 2011

What are you talking about? JUSTICE GUNNER IS AWESOME. posted by axiom at 9:07 PM on November 22, 2011 [2 favorites]

If had a second dog named Diamond, or maybe Archer, I think you could do this and it would work out alright. Otherwise, yeah. posted by Kid Charlemagne at 2:50 AM on November 23, 2011
"Chubsey" and "Maximus" are actually quite good names for my fat yellow male dogs. posted by Cocodrillo at 3:29 AM on November 23, 2011
My first result off the FakeName Generator was Ruth Victory, which isn't that convincing. The second was a more plausible name but the address was 1394 Dancing Dove Way in New York City. Ah, the celebrated streets of New York: Colombus Avenue, Wall Street, Broadway and Dancing Dove Way. posted by ricochet biscuit at 4:18 AM on November 23, 2011
Doesn't the name 'columbus' derive from the Latin for 'dove'? I can't help you with the 'dancing' though. posted by benito.strauss at 5:46 AM on November 23, 2011
Via the fake name generator I have developed a long-distance crush on Kateřina Brázdilová, who lives at 92 Shannon Way, Chiddingstone Causeway posted by benito.strauss at 5:52 AM on November 23, 2011

That's nothing. I know a site that hosts over 15 million name generator generators (via a tool that supports infinite recursion). posted by DU at 7:13 AM on November 23, 2011 [1 favorite]
