Fantasy nicknames by neural network
Sep. 7th, 2018 03:52 pmI collected a giant list of names from a few modern fantasy series. I have not yet run the whole thing through a neural network.
I have instead run a subset, of names that tend to be sobriquets or nicknames, to see what it comes up with, mostly because they tend to be recognizable words and are thus funnier.
Sources include the Malazan books, the Black Company, the Wheel of Time books, and a few each from Earthsea, Discworld, and Joe Abercrombie. I didn't put in Game of Thrones because after gathering names from the exponentially long Malazan and the Wheel of Time I called it quits.
