Show HN: Business name generator

• Jack000 9y ago
  I was trying to make an RNN-based business name generator for a few weeks, but all the output was pretty random. then I tried just using a markov chain to generate random names and picking the best (most thematically related) names using fasttext, and it worked pretty well. Check it out and let me know what you think! my favourite keywords are "sexy, Canadian" and "fun, weed" : ]

  I don't know if I would go for "ensult.com" .

    yeah the names are still pretty random but occasionally you get some cool ones
    • saintPirelli 9y ago
      Yes, tbh, I can see how this might generate some nice passive income for you.

        maybe eventually, it'll be operating at a loss for a long time I think. The pre-trained fasttext .bin is 8Gb, and the smallest linode that can handle it is $60/month.

          Well, maybe you get lucky and some "influencer" picks it up and writes about it or whatever ;)
