i How to make better random planet names

Disclaimer: I don't know how to code this.

If you were to write an algorithm which makes words by placing 1-2 consonants between 1-2 vowels and swaps back and forth in that style, the names will look a lot better. Essentially the code would read like this:

  1. Choose name length from 3 to 12 characters.
  2. Select either vowels or consonants to begin.
  3. Choose 1 or 2 (2/3 it picks 1, 1/3 it picks 2).
  4. Generate that many of the chosen letter type.
  5. Switch to the other letter type and choose 1 or 2.
  6. Generate that many of the chosen letter type.
  7. Repeat until name length reached.

Here are some examples I generated using this algorithm:

Interesting!
I will have a look into coding this
