Some of the more well known code names from the computer industry is Microsofts codenames for their different Windows Operating Systems. Chicago (Windows 95), Daytona (Windows NT 3.5), Memphis (Windows 98), Whistler (Windows XP) and Longhorn (Windows Vista).
A similar naming tradition can be found for example in the Apple universe or in open source Ubuntu project, where each new release uses animals names.
Also in military operations code names are commonly used. Several military code names are very well known in the public. E.g. "Overlord" which was the allied invasion of northwest Europe in the spring of 1944 in World War 2. And "Desert Storm" was the military codename for the American invasion of Iraq in 1991.
Military use of a code name serve two purposes. First of course it helps to keep the operation secret. Secondly it helps to inspire the troops, win the public and add a sense of adventure and glory to otherwise cruel and dangerous military operations.

The code generator is based on modern programming and the latest web technologies. It is programmed in native JavaScript with no use og any libraries to speed up name generation.
The use of JavaScript also keeps the privacy in top, because all the generated names only exits in the users browser, where the script is executed.
User research shows that the vast majority of users just want and need the core functionality. Therefore my main philosophy, when it comes to interface design is that, Online tools and applications should be easy to use.
So the code generator is indeed easy to use. The big button is easy to spot and the names instantly are written in huge bold types. And if you miss one, you just check the dynamically generated list with all the outputs.
