What's In A Name?

There was a lively discussion on TS the other night about choosing a Legacy name. It's actually quite an important decision, as that name is permanent and applies to all characters your create across the server you're on.

We pondered many things:
Should it be silly or clever or ominous or intriguing or sexy or personal or serious?
Does it fit for both male and female? (Jennifer StiffSaber is not so cool.)
How would it sound after my current toon's name? (eg. Spiral McFailful?)
How can I make it apply to both Light & Dark characters?

I Googled name generators and came up with a few:

But the most interesting one is the manual name generator. It's like those silly thing they put on Facebook on in chain mail. I've seen a few variations, but this one turned out funny for me. I surely wouldn't use it for my Legacy name though!

First Name: take the first 3 letters of your first name and add the first 2 letters of your last name.
Last Name: take the first 2 letters of your mother's maiden name, and an apostrophe, then add the first 3 letters of the city you were born in.
Title: take the last 3 letters of your last name and reverse them, then add the first 3 letters of your favorite food, then put "of", then take the name of the last person you spoke to today and reverse it.

My result: Crigu Sn'sau, the Nnucho of Ekim

Post your results! I'd love to see them.  :)
