I was contacted by Aladdin from the  Australian band site entertainya. Aladdin wanted a band name  widget to spice up entertainya.com.au.

My Name is Aladdin, I run and own an Australian online music and entertainment called entertainya. I have been on the hunt for something fresh and exciting to add to my site as i have 1000′s of musicians browsing everyday.
I came across your project and would love for you to consider allowing me to integrate your band name generator onto my site.

I thought the idea sounded exiting and started to develop a band name widget. The band name widget gave the idea to make a free  name generator widget.

Band name generator

The band name generator  widget is a  full copy of the band name generator. Same amount of band name combinations and with a 100%  functionality.

You can see the band widget and how seamless  it integrates with the site.  Entertainya.com.au is based on a  joomla cms.  The band generator code is run locally on the client, so it will work with all blogs, cms as well as ordinary html pages.

Behind the band widget

The band name widget is programmed in JavaScript, HTML and CSS, and Alladin  just needed to add a single line of JavaScript to include on his website.

The widget is compressed to minimize download time, and of course follows the w3.0rg standards for proper HTML and validates as XHTML 1.1.

How to get visitors on your new name generator

If you make a cool name generator, I might wanna make a review of it. Just write a comment and I’ll look into it.

A friend of mine suggested that I made a blog name generator. Why? I already have a great blog name generator. 

Code Name – Blog Name Generator?

No reason to start all over. The  Code and Blog Name Generator makes cool  ideas for blog names.  By design it of course is originally a code name creator, but  the results is useful in a wide variety of areas. And many of the generated code names would also work great as blog names. What would you say to blog names like:

• Rough Heart
• Scarlet Moving Pens
• Autumn Confidential
• Subtle Knife

I think they could be pretty cool blog names. So from today instead of  reinventing the wheel, I simply claim the code generator to also be a Blog Name Generator.

Making names

The names are made by 2 and 3 word combinations from word list specially chosen for making code names. Words with lots of  meaning a strong ability of creating  images. The results is powerful, inspiring and creative code and cool blog names.

An algorithmic program gives variation and up to 5 million different code or blog names.

Whats in a good blog name

Well it really depends on the he subject of the blog and the personalty of the blogger. But a good blog name could be

• describing for the content of articles and subjects
• content important keywords
• memorable
• catchy and cool

A blog name generator can’t do much for you if you’re looking for specific and descriptive title like the title of my blog. But if you’re looking for catchy, cool, funny, subtle or humorous names a blog name generator can help you in the process.

Idea generator

Don’t expect too much. A name generator is basically an idea generator. It does not necessarily make the perfect names. A simple artificial intelligence of a rather simple script don’t get the subtle meanings in certain word combinations. And it’s often  the subtle nuances and meanings that separates the good blog name from the bad one.

The strength of a generator is that it can come up with endless combinations, cool ideas and a lot of suggestions.

You just have to take the good ideas and form them into you personal blog name.

Go to the Code and Blog Name Generator.

Make your own blog name generator

If you are not happy to use the code name generator as a solution, it has never been easier to make you own blog name generator. You just have to download the full functional name generator script, and add you own word lists.

In a  few minutes you can have a simple blog name generator up and running. And if you put a little more work into it, you can very easily make a full blown blog name generator.

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.

Friday I went out to dine with my colleagues on a Japanese restaurant. On the menu was sushi and Iki beers. Superb! Just need a Japanese name now.

Name generators

The Japanese name generator from the rumandmonkey.com was my first choice. The interface of name generator is simple and easy to overview, but it is a huge pain though, that the generator only generates one name at the time. And you need to use the browsers back button to come back to the name generator. Also you need to type in different names and to select boy name/girl name each time you want make a new name

The female Japanese name generator and the male Japanese name generator is much more user friendly. The user interface is extremely simple and easy to overview. Here you can generate as many names you want. Just a click the  button each time you need a new name, and the select box will remember how many names you want to generate.

Japanese names

Japanese names in modern times usually consist of a family name (surname), followed by a given name.  Japanese names are usually written in kanji, which are characters of usually Chinese origin in Japanese pronunciation.

There are more Japanese generators out there, but most of them are covered with commercials and are a real pain to use. But if you know any good ones just throw a comment.
