I have made a major update to the vampire names generator. It was one of my first name generators, so it needed a serious overhaul. The vampire names was generally too long and needed so serious tightening up.
Try the better vampire names.
More and better names
I have increased the number of names. I have recycled the fantasy names with the most East European sound and feel. And i have added both new vampire names for girls and boys. In return some of the least suited boys and girls vampire names also has been removed.
The effect of the increased numbers of name is many more possible unique name combinations. And the effect of the added fantasy names is more mystic, cryptic and devious vampire names.
Changed algorithms
I have also changed the algorithms of the generator. The names are now shorter and more powerful. Also the variation in names has increased because of more complex random algorithms.
Overall the consequence is much cooler and better vampire names.
Vampire background
Finally I have also added a few new links to other vampire resources and updated the articles with some vampire background and history.
Bad vampire names?
And the usual disclaimer. I still make bad names. Sorry but I have to take chances to surprise. Bear with me and just generate a bunch of vampire names and only choose the best ones.
Go and get the new and improved vampire names!
Spicing things up with a name generator
In this article by the Dutch photographer Michael Van der Tol: photographic project names, he gives ideas for alternative uses of name generators. He tells about the slump you often get into. Things get uninspired and you often end up doing the same things over and over again.
You need new inputs to get new ideas. Use a project name generator to generate ideas for new exiting photographically projects.
Michael Vander Tol:
If you’re like me the project rarely comes before the photographs; and actually, the project title comes last. So I’m proposing you mix things up a bit and start with the project title.
Generate ideas and names for writing
Inspired by Michael van der Tools idea we can also use name generators to generate ideas for writing. Ideas to use for novels, essay, short stories etc.
What about letting “yellow foot” be the secret code name of a military operation of “alpha beat” could be the name of upcoming pop group, or the state of the first hearts beats after a time travel in a science fiction short story.
(“yellow foot” is the project name for user interface using the Summa search engine. “alpha beat” is the name of an upcoming pop group 
not generated by the project name generator, but might as well been)
T-shirts and cool names
Another alternative use of cool names would be as a t-shirt text. Strange t-shirt text are usually some cool icebreakers in many contexts.
Opportunities are abundant.
A generator that can flip text might be pretty useless, but definitely is great fun. One of the best to flip text is flipmytext.com.
Flipmytext can flip text upside down, flip words, reverse single words or the entire text. Everything can be pretty messed up using the flip text generator.
Here some text that’s upside down:
uʍop ǝpısdn sɹoʇɐɹǝuǝƃ ǝɯɐu ǝɥʇ ɯɹoɟ sǝɯɐu ǝɥʇ dıןɟ oʇ ɹoʇɐɹǝuǝƃ ʇxǝʇ dıןɟ ǝɥʇ ǝsn
Here some text that is flipped over
srotareneg eman eht mrof seman eht pilf ot rotareneg txet pilf eht esu
Use of a flip text generator
You can use the flipped text at facebook, myspace and at other socials networks. As I said it’s pretty useless but quite fun, and it might impress you friends.
Upside down generator
If you wanna play with it yourself you check this upside-down character mapping. The side also holds a upside down generator, but this generator only can flip text upside down and nothing more.
