Random generation can be wild and unpredictable. Sometimes the results are simply too weird. Sometimes they are just half-baked. All of these generators have potential, but I'm not quite sure what to do with them.

Markov chain generator

A Markov chain is a simple algorithm for generating content that looks like the content you give it as input. It works particularly well on linear things like words and music.

For this example, I have given the list of all the first names to a Markov chain algorithm. The algorithm scanned through all those first names and came up with rules for how to build more names that sound similar to the original set.
