Do You Need to Name a Lot? Use This Site

Life is more fun with pseudonyms. This is why we call our wireless networks “Julia Louis-Wifus” or “9 Inch Tops Come to Apt. 3B “. But suppose you need to name a whole bunch of things, such as software versions , conference rooms, or just placeholders in the example. At this point, you cannot just come up with random names one by one. You need a system.

So choose one of the naming schemes on the wiki. Name your cocktails after Hawaii . Name your secret work projects after the Bond villains . Name your website servers after philosophers . Name your kittens after professional wrestlers . Name your fists .

If you’re unsure of where to start, take inspiration from a link to a random page . Similar to Wikipedia or TV Tropes , the site has a rabbit hole effect. You may find yourself checking every category you can think of to make sure it’s covered. If not, you can add your own site – it’s a wiki that anyone can edit.
