I Am Creating Software For Processing And Creating New Names
- She likes to consider 'y' as a vowel a little more than I'd like... There's I think a code comment sitting where the change needs to go even saying y's can't be selected as often as other vowels due to their rarity in Anglo Saxon names..
- Sequences of repetitive vowels and consonants. She's been coded with certain default rules about things that cannot occur in a name... For example more than 3 consonants or vowels in a row is not normal in an English-speaking name.. Interestingly enough, I think you can have as many as 4 vowels in a row in some French names, but that's ok, cause I can override this rule manually for specific letter combinations. Anyway, she seems to in some cases choose to allow 3 vowels in a row more often than would occur in nature. It is easy to fix this... I just wanted to get that part working quickly and so didn't use the better (and harder to code) logic I had...
- Repititive sequences of letters: Several times she's generated names with a repeated sequence of beautiful characters more than once and consequently thought this makes this a better name than otherwise :-)
"A good name makes efficient use of beautiful elements, doesn't screw up, and doesn't waste anything"
This takes me back to "LaLa". The word La is beautiful. You might even argue that "La La"/"LaLa", etc is better, but when you start getting into "La La La"/"LaLaLa" any more repitition than that, then clearly nothing is gained. The thing is the human eye can read any enjoy 2 La's just as easily as 8 La's. In other words, you're not gaining anything by adding more, and to make efficient use of characters, it's even best at that point to merge in some other type of beautiful element... So maybe I should have code in there which says "If an element appears more than twice, don't count any more "benefit" for that element..."... I thought about capping this off at once, but I really don't want to lose reponsible use of twice, such as "Lauriella" :-)
