This is a little creepy.
Apparently, my Wu-name is “inebriated assistant,” which is also the name I use in real life.

Dr. Pinky, the **Bellowing Rap Machine**.
(Actually, I like to think of it as more of a Beat-influenced fusion of Whitmanesque cataguerillaism and Rimbaudian proto-surrealism, but that don’t really flow, do it?)

scout 1222 = Caramel

I’ll try not to take that personally.

Hey, Tabithina, a woman I know received the same name as your spouse! Makes me wonder how the naming works: is it a random combination of a finite list of words, does it associate certain words with specific names (my friend’s last name is Porter, is yours Porter too?) does it scramble the letters in your name and match them against a code? Dunno.
Seems unlikely Gorky’s Zygotic Glove Puppet can randomly occur twice in a matter of days. BTW, my first and middle names came back as HOMICIDAL TERRAHAWK.

Hi, **Eohippus**!
Welcome to the boards! To answer your question, my better half’s last name isn’t Porter— not even close. This generator is not random, but I don’t know how it works.🙂
I found out that if I enter Tabithina+Tabithina, I get “Radiophonic Oddity”.

Putting in my real name, I am also the “Contagious Specialist”. I smell a rat. Or maybe I am Cecil Adams?
