That's fun. Plus, it's a great way to test how common or rare a character name might be. Or, a baby name, for that matter. I wish I'd had something like this when I was naming my boys.
Those are good uses I hadn't thought of. Character names, though, come along with the character from the get-go so someone in outer space must be naming them for me. ;-)
