Bored with your life? Wish you could be someone else? Maybe you yearn for the exciting life of a pirate. Or a Jedi....yeah! Or....an exotic dancer!! Sorry, we can’t help you with that (what would your mom say?!?), but we can at least help you come up with your alter-ego’s name.
Use this handy app to generate a new pirate name for your bad self. Or decide on your stripper name. Or when the movie extras casting agent comes calling, have your Jedi name all ready.
Hey, why keep the fun to yourself? Generate new names for your friends. Make the meeting a little more tolerable by picturing your boss as “Salty” Squid Flint. If that politician were an exotic dancer, what would his (or her!) name be?
Oh. And it’s free. Why wouldn’t you grab this app?
a.k.a. includes the following name types:
- Pirate (male and female)
- Jedi
- Stripper (male and female)
- Soap Opera (male and female)
- Mafia (male and female)
- Fantasy (male and female) including Dwarf, Elf, Gnome, Human, Orc, Troll and Undead
- Spy
- Rapper
- Superhero
- Wild West (male and female)
- Ninja
- Wizard (male and female)
... with more types on the way!
What's New in Version 1.5
Adds an option to purchase an upgrade to an ad-free version which, as a bonus feature, includes a 'lanyard' view that presents the generated name in a familiar "HELLO my name is" label. This view auto-rotates when the device is oriented upside-down, such as when dangling from some lanyards. (When the view is back to right-side-up, dismiss it with a double-tap and the main screen returns.)
Customer Reviews
Kinda sketchy
Weirded me out when it asked for my name, my mom's maiden name, and place of birth for a Jedi name. Sounded like secret questions to get into a bank account.
Do not use this app!
The Jedi name asks for Mother's Maiden name and Birthplace. These are two of the questions needed to verify your identity for Banks and other places. Also, it seems that whatever you put in, it puts out a random name. Really bad app.
Umm...hello! BEWARE
Seems to me that this a cheap ploy to get security question answers. What on earth was apple thinking accepting this app??!!??
