random username generator for registration page #88

Closed mmnoo closed 9 years ago

mmnoo commented 9 years ago

Question for you @jywarren . Instead of random animals/colors/foodstuff combined with numbers, howabout random semi-pronouncable nonsense words combined with numbers?

Found a JS library that creates these. http://chancejs.com/#word

Might be easier to tap into that library than to have to create arrays listing sufficient numbers of animals, food, and colours so that the generated usernames are sufficiently unique to human eyes.

Thoughts?

Sure, that sounds good. We were thinking we didn't want a random name generator to create off-color names like "Jade Panda Garden" or something. Maybe this'd help avoid that possibility. Can you try generating a hundred examples and see how it looks?
