Random Name Generator

I implemented a random name generator for my current project, and, as the hard part of it is neatily encapsulated in a class, I made a resource based on it.
Check it out:

The random name generator and rules files were adapted from the work of Johan Danforth http://spitfire.ausys.se/johan/workshop/ and can be used for PERSONAL USE ONLY
The way of generating the names is quite simple, actually, you have a rules file with syllables and you mix them randomly to form a word (you have 3 lists actually, the starting syllable, the mid-syllable and the end-syllable and you take one random syllable from each list and combine it).
So the hard part is actually creating these rules files :)
Do you know of other algorithms for creating random names?
