Using Mathematica to generate Web 2.0 company names
Feel like calling your company something like Cashcoup, Feebany, Bunkapps, Morpone, Realance or Afative? Combining CrunchBase, Mathematica and stochastic matrices yields the Web 2.0 Company Name Generator:
In[105]:=
In[90]:=
In[94]:=
In[95]:=
In[117]:=
In[98]:=
In[106]:=
Out[106]=
In[121]:=
Out[121]=
My first attempt at automated name generation used a few Gutenberg books, which yielded appropriately Victorian-sounding names. CrunchBase seems to work better. If you want to experiment with the code, download the notebook.
Update: you can now use the name generator interactively.
