1) Your number, temp, will always be in the range 0-25, not 1-26. Either add
one before you go on, or better yet...

2) Instead of "if (temp == 1) ... if (temp == 2) ... blah blah blah string 1
= string 1 + char1;", how about "string1 = string1 + (temp + 65);"

3) This is more of a password generator. If you really want a name
generator, get a good name list, parse it, and pull names from it randomly.
There's some good ones out there. If you want size, look for a census
website.

Correction on 2): "string1 = string1 + (char) (temp + 65);"

OR:

public class name{
public static void main(String[] args){
StringBuffer s = new StringBuffer();
int len=(int)(10*Math.random());
for(int i=0;i<len;i++) s.append((char)(65+Math.rand()*26+(i==0?0:32)));
System.out.println(s.toString());
}
}

ah thanks both of you, i have only known java for about 15 days, im
still learning.

i tried this code just for giggles and does not compile. i fixed it..
should look like this:
public class name{
public static void main(String[] args){
StringBuffer s = new StringBuffer();
int len=(int)(10*Math.random());
for(int i=0;i<len;i++)
s.append((char)(65+Math.random()*26+(i==0?0:32)));
System.out.println(s.toString());
}
}

it's the same code, but the line here:
for(int i=0;i<len;i++)
s.append((char)(65+Math.random()*26+(i==0?0:32)));

needed fixing from the previous post.. there is no Math.rand()
function, so just use Math.random() to get the same affect.
anyway, just wanted to post in case anyone else tried it and didnt
work.

take care --
David

I think maybe I can name a pet Spacink, but I am not sure if I would name my
child.

Ah yes, pleasing the wife too is the hard thing. So how about this?

class name{
public static void main(String[]z){
String v="aeiou",p="cvccvc"; // or cvvcvc, cvcvcv
StringBuffer s=new StringBuffer();
char t;
for(int i=0;i<p.length();i++)
while((v.indexOf(t=(char)(97+Math.random()*26))>=0 ^ p.charAt(i)=='v')
|| s.append(t)==null);
System.out.println(s.toString());
}
}

PS thanks for the correction on rand[om]
