@Tarun3 but also in general for future reference:

This code was written in 2015 and is of low quality, it was written for a specific application and I figured I'd publish it so other people could take advantage of it. I do not plan to support it.
Instead, for production purposes, please use modules such as random-name or unique-names-generator.

Thanks so much, the names generates are super funny... always! I integrated it into https://brie.fi/ng (source here https://github.com/holtwick/briefing/blob/master/app/src/lib/names.js). I hope this is okay with you? I was not able to find license information.

@holtwick sure no problem, cool product by the way!
For others in the future: the code is entirely free to use, attribution is appreciated of course but not necessary. Feel free to share your projects here as well!

Thanks @tkon99 ! I will add the attribution with the next commit.

Got Naughty Nurse, Awful Woman and Unlawful Lawyer. The names generated are hilarious! Thanks mate! Will surely add credit to you on my next projects.

Edit:
Just made some fun word generator here https://erlange.github.io/100-words/ using your code. (With credits of course!)

I am working on a chatting app in which the user has to enter his name and if he doesn't, he gets a random one (I will make the repo public once I'm done). So, you get that I'm here for only the lists, but still, this is cool. Thanks for it.

dmarman commented Jul 22, 2021

@tkon99 I believe that there is a tiny bug in your code, it should be:
var name = capFirst(name1[getRandomInt(0, name1.length - 1)]) + ' ' + capFirst(name2[getRandomInt(0, name2.length - 1)]);
Basically replacing both + with a -, because in an extreme case it can throw an error.

actually, I don't think we need either + nor - since floor(rand * N) should max at N-1
@bureson

That's right, +1 will fail in production. Just remove them.

Totally love this, but I needed a somewhat simpler version:

function generateName() {
  const n1 = ["Blue ", "Green", "Red", "Orange", "Violet", "Indigo", "Yellow "];
  const n2 = ["One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five", "Six", "Seven", "Eight", "Nine", "Zero"]
  return n1[parseInt(Math.random() * n1.length)] + '-' + n2[parseInt(Math.random() * n2.length)];
}

@talentlessguy

type-safe version of @dirkk0's code:

export function generateName() {
  const n1 = ['Blue', 'Green', 'Red', 'Orange', 'Violet', 'Indigo', 'Yellow']
  const n2 = ['One', 'Two', 'Three', 'Four', 'Five', 'Six', 'Seven', 'Eight', 'Nine', 'Zero']
  return n1[Math.round(Math.random() * (n1.length - 1))] + '-' + n2[Math.round(Math.random() * (n2.length - 1))]
}
