About

Naming a comedic performer requires striking a precise balance between phonemic plosives (like P, B, K) and inherent absurdity. In professional circus arts, a nom de guerre serves as a persona anchor, dictating whether the character leans towards Harlequin sophistication, Auguste slapstick, or Grim horror tropes. This tool addresses the "Blank Page Problem" for writers, game masters, and performers by leveraging a combinatorial engine that produces over 2.5 million distinct semantic permutations.

We utilize a Mulberry32 pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) to ensure that if a specific seed is provided, the result is deterministically reproducible across different devices. This is critical for collaborative projects where a consistent generated entity is required without persistent storage.

Formulas

The name generation process is a stochastic walk through weighted linguistic arrays. To ensure reproducibility, we bypass the standard browser Math.random() in favor of a 32-bit state seed function.

{
PRNG(s) = Mulberry32(state)Nfinal = Pre Stem Suff

Where the state evolution is defined by the hash mixing function:

t state + 0x6D2B79F5

The probability P of generating a specific structure relies on boolean flags derived from the seed:

P(Prefix) 0.35, P(Suffix) 0.60

Resulting in a combinatorial space size S:

S = Prefixes × FirstNames × Suffixes

Frequently Asked Questions

Use the "Seed" feature. Every random result in this tool is calculated from an initial numeric seed. If you enter "12345" into the Seed Input and select the same Style preset, the algorithm will mathematically produce the identical name sequence every time, allowing for sharable results.
Yes. The generated names are combinations of common dictionary words and classic clown tropes. However, simple collisions with existing trademarks (e.g., generating 'Ronald McDonald') are statistically possible though rare. Always perform a trademark search for commercial projects.
The "Scary" algorithm injects phonemes and concepts associated with unease, rust, medical tools, and biological decay to trigger the specific "coulrophobia" response, diverging from standard circus lexicon.
