| Greetings. A few quick notes regarding this name generator:
I still have no current plans to open the database for submissions again, although that may change someday.
If you are considering contacting me to ask for the raw code or database for this generator, please be advised that I have a standing policy to say "no" to all such requests. It's nothing personal. You are, of course, free to use the results of this generator however you like (that's why I made it, after all).
Thanks for making this little resource so popular! |
I am happy to report that this site is currently (as of 7/29/04) #1 on Google searches for Star Wars Random Name Generator. Thanks to everyone who helped make this site a success.
Speaking of which, I have added a whopping 2200+ names to the database. I went without updating it for a very long time, so there was a huge backlog. Thank you so much to everyone who contributed. So, there are now over 5,000 entries in the database, almost double what there were before.
However, of the 3000+ names that were submitted, over 800 were either garbage, profanity, grade-school level potty humor, or lame attempts to hack the site. It took me too long to sift through the garbage before updating the database, and I have neither the time nor inclination to play babysitter every time I update. So, with some small regret, I am removing the ability to submit names. I'd say something like "a few people ruined it for everybody," but that's not true; a few losers completely wasted their time, and some of mine, but the site remains a valuable resource. There should be plenty of names to make this site more than useful for the vast majority of
you who are not knuckle-dragging imbeciles.
At some point, if I feel the need, I may re-open the database for submissions, if I've come up with a tool to help weed out all the fools. We'll see. In the meantime, enjoy the generator, and if you have any questions or concerns, you can leave feedback or email me. May the Force be with you.

| Added about 28 new names to the database today. Just a reminder; if you're going to submit names to the submission queue, please take a second and make sure you capitalize them. I dumped about ten names today because whomever submitted them couldn't be bothered to hit the Shift key and capitalize the first letters of each name. So please capitalize those names. I really don't want a mish-mash of capital and non-capital names in the database, and I'm afraid it's too time-consuming to go in and correct each one individually, so I just end up dumping them when I see them. Thanks. |
