Introduction
If you know how to build a website, you also know how hard it is to generate a cool domain name. This is also true for signing up a new email address, Facebook account, or for creating a nickname in your MMORPG game.
Background
A good domain name should be easy to read, write, understand and memorize. Short names could be 1 word, 2 words or 3 words long.
Using the Code
First, I pulled a list of 5,000 most common words in English to Excel.
Then I use random number generation and VLookup to create my simple word generator which automatically refreshes itself every time I open or interact with it.
The following Excel functions are in use:
=RANDBETWEEN(1,5000)
=VLOOKUP(C2,$A$1:$B$5001,2,FALSE)
=PROPER('text')
Together:
=PROPER(VLOOKUP(D23,$B$7:$C$5007,2,FALSE))&PROPER(VLOOKUP(E23,$B$7:$C$5007,2,FALSE))

Points of Interest
By changing the list of initial words to fit your own circustances, you can create a customized generator for your own purposes (medical, engineer, marketing, ...).
