So I got a dataset of 8,000 baby names from an NLP repo (http:\/\/www.cs.cmu.edu\/afs\/cs\/project\/ai-repository\/ai\/areas\/nlp\/corpora\/names\/<\/a>), trained a 2-layer LSTM and generated some.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n To my amusement many fun unique names come out and 90% of them are not found in the training data. Here are 100 example samples that do not occur in training data:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Rudi<\/p>\n\n\n\n Levette<\/p>\n\n\n\n Berice<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lussa<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hany<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mareanne<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chrestina<\/p>\n\n\n\n Carissy<\/p>\n\n\n\n Marylen<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hammine<\/p>\n\n\n\n Janye<\/p>\n\n\n\n Marlise<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jacacrie<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hendred<\/p>\n\n\n\n Romand<\/p>\n\n\n\n Charienna<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nenotto<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ette<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dorane<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wallen<\/p>\n\n\n\n Marly<\/p>\n\n\n\n Darine<\/p>\n\n\n\n Salina<\/p>\n\n\n\n Elvyn<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ersia<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maralena<\/p>\n\n\n\n Minoria<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ellia<\/p>\n\n\n\n Charmin<\/p>\n\n\n\n Antley<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nerille<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chelon<\/p>\n\n\n\n Walmor<\/p>\n\n\n\n Evena<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jeryly<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stachon<\/p>\n\n\n\n Charisa<\/p>\n\n\n\n Allisa<\/p>\n\n\n\n Anatha<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cathanie<\/p>\n\n\n\n Geetra<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alexie<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jerin<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cassen<\/p>\n\n\n\n Herbett<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cossie<\/p>\n\n\n\n Velen<\/p>\n\n\n\n Daurenge<\/p>\n\n\n\n Robester<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shermond<\/p>\n\n\n\n Terisa<\/p>\n\n\n\n Licia<\/p>\n\n\n\n Roselen<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ferine<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jayn<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lusine<\/p>\n\n\n\n Charyanne<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sales<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sanny<\/p>\n\n\n\n Resa<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wallon<\/p>\n\n\n\n Martine<\/p>\n\n\n\n Merus<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jelen<\/p>\n\n\n\n Candica<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wallin<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tel<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rachene<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tarine<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ozila<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ketia<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shanne<\/p>\n\n\n\n Arnande<\/p>\n\n\n\n Karella<\/p>\n\n\n\n Roselina<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alessia<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chasty<\/p>\n\n\n\n Deland<\/p>\n\n\n\n Berther<\/p>\n\n\n\n Geamar<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jackein<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mellisand<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sagdy<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nenc<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lessie<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rasemy<\/p>\n\n\n\n Guen<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gavi<\/p>\n\n\n\n Milea<\/p>\n\n\n\n Anneda<\/p>\n\n\n\n Margoris<\/p>\n\n\n\n Janin<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rodelin<\/p>\n\n\n\n Zeanna<\/p>\n\n\n\n Elyne<\/p>\n\n\n\n Janah<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ferzina<\/p>\n\n\n\n Susta<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pey<\/p>\n\n\n\n Castina<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is a much bigger sample:\u00a0http:\/\/cs.stanford.edu\/people\/karpathy\/namesGenUnique.txt<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Some of my favorites include “Baby” (haha), “Killie”, “Char”, “R”, “More”, “Mars”, “Hi”, “Saddie”, “With” and “Ahbort”.
