Hi,

I just wrote a tiny function that combines a list of adjectives and animals to a lazyseq, from which I can take x combinations and use them to name clients or machines[1].
It's not a big thing, the main effort was to find nice lists.

I always liked the naming on heroku, thats why I wanted something similar :) .

Here are some examples:

(take 5 (random-names :seperator "-"))
("bright-clam" "clean-chicken" "long-caterpillar" "successful-skunk" "lucky-mink")

Have a nice weekend.

Waldemar

Believe it or not, I just had a use for this (generating test strings).  Thanks!
