It looks very nice to me, especially for those times when you need a name fast!

I use to use it back when I ran 2e.

These days, I use JH namegen gold or Chris Pound's name generator page.

I'm sorry, Diaglo, but those names were HORRIBLE! I only generated a dozen or so but easily caught on to the patterns inherent. Names started with Z and X and V a lot, just to make them feel more, erm, "fantastic"? LoL! And then they'd end with 'hand or 'and or 'amalin or 'ithas or 'ond and in the middle were some rather nonsensical vowel sounds thrown in. I mean, "Vichand" was a cool name, but the rest were complete crap. "Xavros"? Too much Doctor Who, I'm afraid!

If I were to take common table condiments (ketchup, mustard, mayonaise) and rearrange them and spell them backwards or sideways I'd end up with more interesting-sounding names!

I *did* like the magic item generator, though.

Hrm. Maybe I should write up a quick and dirty name generator with Microsoft Excel...
