Description:
===============

After being stumped one too many times trying to think of the "right" name, I devised a solution: make a random name generator that never runs out of names! Jumble takes a list of consonants and vowels and scrambles them together randomly, multiple times, to create completely unique names. This, however, creates wild and out-landish names; though useful in some fantasy settings, there is also a need for more conventional names. That is why I also integrated a generator that randomly scrambles the most common male, female, and last names from the United States 2000 census. In the newest version I also added the option to randomly generate a title to go with your name (which can sometimes produce funny results). The possible combinations of both jumbled and conventional names is approx. 48,874,430,485,409,259,613,497 (48 sextillion). Even if you decided to name every grain of sand in all the oceans of the world, you would still have names left-over.
