How it works
Every name's built on the spot from big word lists and goofy patterns like The [Adjective] [Plural Noun], [Noun] of [Noun], and one-word mashups. Each of the 8 genres has its own lists and patterns, and Filthy mode adds a whole extra layer of crude words. It all runs in your browser, so it's instant. Words that voters push to the top on the vote page can join the lists too, so the count above can grow. It steers clear of names you've already seen this session, but it's random, so the odd repeat can happen.
Picking a name
Say it out loud like a radio DJ. Make sure it fits on a T-shirt. Search it so you know no famous band already owns it. If it makes your drummer groan, you're on the right track.
Clean by default
It's family friendly out of the box. Grown-ups who want crude, profane names can flip on Filthy mode (18+). You've been warned.
