Yes, I have used this site and a couple others. I used a western settlers name generator for the names I used in the Adventures of a Young Girl. I used a Thai name generator for an action-adventure story I started but have yet to complete. I used a lyrical name generator for a female superhero I was going to write but lost interest in the character and spent my whole time playing with names. I always use foreign-language name sites for other stories, because sometimes a name describes character traits that define the character. A person could get carried away, if you're not careful.

John Boyd, 'the fighter pilot who changed the art of war', quietly eclipsed both von Clausewitz and Sun Tzu. He distilled his life's work into a set of briefings, which may occupy military theorists for the next century--or two. It was his habit to give them himself, but they have survived him, and can be found on the site above.
