DESCRIPTION

21       This utility will generate "pet names", consisting of a random combina‐
22       tion of an adverb, adjective, and proper name.  These  are  useful  for
23       unique hostnames, for instance.
24
25       The  default  packaging contains about 2000 names, 1300 adjectives, and
26       4000 adverbs, yielding nearly 10 billion unique combinations,  covering
27       over 32 bits of unique namespace.
28
29       As such, PetName tries to follow the tenets of Zooko's triangle.  Names
30       are:
31
32        - human meaningful
33        - decentralized
34        - secure
