If there's nothing here that is satisfactory, then it's quite easy to generate random pronounceable words, just alternate between vowels and consonants. As an example: https://github.com/Stuk/generate-words

I started out with something similar to this, but randomly playing combinations created a lot of garbage relative of things that sounded pronounceable. A lot of letters are simply unpopular/bad (looking at you Q, J, Z, X) in most combinations (often the exception is the end).

Yeah, that's true. I like using it more as a launchpad for ideas. It's definitely not going to generate the next Flickr!

That's the beauty to creativity, there is no rules for how to get there :)
