In the spirit of [Your Cyborg Name](http://boards.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum4/HTML/006450.html) and [Alanis Lyric Generator](http://boards.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum4/HTML/006564.html), someone sent me [Your Wu Name](http://www.recordstore.com/cgi-bin/wuname/wuname.pl) at [http://www.recordstore.com/cgi-bin/wuname/wuname.pl](http://www.recordstore.com/cgi-bin/wuname/wuname.pl)

Alas, it needs two names, so:

> Es prix!

> **Cybernetic Tiger**  
> Use it wisely, soldier.

E sprix got me **Big Gay Mule!**

And no, don’t ask me what it all means - it just amuses me. 😛

A partial explanation:

“Orignial WuName! The global favourite returns, safely housed in our new chambers at [www.recordstore.com.](http://www.recordstore.com.) When you’re ready for action, step to the mic and get your own Wu-Tang Clan identity jammed into your eyes as if by magic. If it were any more ill, it would need treatment.  
Once you’ve got your WuName, and those of everyone in the office, emblazon it on your hooded top and sport it through the corridors of The Buchan Foundation, whose lusty laboratories spawned this creation.”

Does this help??

Big girl gave me Officer Stinkah

The thing is, despite the duplicates, it doesn’t seem to be randomly-generated - if you go back and try again with the same name, you’ll get the same result. Very odd…
