hey, so i was trying to think of a good car name when i came across this, a random object generator.
http://www2.hci.edu.sg/s9842525z/Train% ... bject.html
so what my idea is, is since it does a list of 46 you can generate the list, then go to random.org, tell it 1-46, and the number it spits out could provide a good basis for your name, like if it lands on dog, look up the breeds of dogs or if it lands on tree look up the types of tree's. hope this can help at least someone

That's a fairly roundabout way of doing things. Not saying it's a bad way, after all, the things one might think of along the way might be more inspiring than just trying to yank out a name instantly.

Alternatively, you could just Google random name generators and go from there.

I find the best way to make exotic and interesting names is take almost any word and translate it into either Spanish, Italian or Latin. Then, you combine those in order to get something that sounds cool.

That is exactly what I do, hence why I have cars like the 'Corleone' etc.
