    I got Kanegawa, which is a real place, so I'd say it's pretty accurate!

      Maybe that name already was in the training set tho?

    I'm not sure why ML is even necessary? Practically every combination of characters (kana characters, where there's always a vowel at the end of each mora unless it's an "n") is already valid and doesn't even sound weird.

    Can someone explain how a random() function given a list of kana characters could not produce equally as good names?
