So, I made a little function, which isn't much developed but works allready and I need your help, but first the story:
I sat donw, played a little Eufloria and saw how the asteroids got so nice random names... Nothing totally random or anyhting normal either, looking like scientific names in my minds... I thought: "I can try make my own random name generator and see if I can match thoose!" and I began coding my function. Din't work out well in the first test, or did it? It does only have lowercased letter(ONLY!) so it won't be anything special:

(sry for big picture!)
So, here are the rules for the letters currently:
1st: Start with a vowel(a,e,i,o or u) and is allways uppercased.
2nd: When two consonants have passed do a vowel.
3rd: Always vowel after x.
4th: Always numbers after -.
5th: Higher chance for numbers after a number.
6th: A random chance for other unclassified letters(-, !, ?).
7th: Always uppercased letters after ! or ?.
Last rule: Small chance for double vowels, else consonants.
More rules for less randomness would be appriciated!
