> [@Agonist](#): > > Somewhere on the site it explains the program (I found it a long time ago and am explaining this from memory, so no link): > > There are three lists of names, taken from Tolkein’s indexes: female first names, male first names, and last names. The program takes the first and last letters of each name given and matches it to a name on the list. John Smith matches to whatever name is next to JN on the male name list and SH on the last name list. So Kythereia and Dolores Reborn don’t necessarily have the same last name, but the first and last letters of their last names are the same. One is Parker and the other is Potter, or something. Nah - I wanna be **Kytheria** ’s sister. I love your name! (Not Bumbleroot! - lol) ---
