7 Amazing Name Generators (PHOTOS)

The Huffington Post   First Posted: 01/28/2012 10:54 am   Updated: 01/28/2012 11:44 am

Let's be honest: most of our names are pretty boring. Glenn Close? John Mayer? Barack Obama? C'mon, we can do better than that.

Thankfully, we have the Internet, which contains many, many random and awesome name generators. Now you no longer have to live with that same old boring moniker your parents gave you when you were born. We plugged in some names to test the generators out, but give them a whirl yourself and see what you get. Be sure to vote for your favorite!

Yah, keep on feeding random sites with personal information! That's seems like a swell idea.
