## What is Unicorn Porcupine?

You need a name for something. A band. A character. A project. A pet. Your first born. You don't know what you want, but you'll know it when you see it.

Unicorn Porcupine pulls words from curated banks of adjectives, nouns, names, and fantasy syllables. Add your own words, throw in prefixes, numbers, symbols, or emojis, and dial up the chaos slider until things get weird.

Pin words to positions. Save favorites. Browse your history. Pick from 24 typefaces and 4 color themes. Save presets so you can switch between setups.

It's a random name generator with way more knobs than it needs. No AI. No ads. No internet required.

----------------------

Some Quickstart Tips:

-Tap a generated name to copy it. 

-Tap the circle on the left of a generated name to "record" it (double tapping the name works too). It will appear in the Recorded list, accessed by pressing the button to the left of the Generate button. 

-Like a generated name and want to riff on it? Press the Custom Word List button on the right of the word. This will add it to the Custom Word List, accessed by pressing the button to the right of the Generate button. From here, you can long press the custom word to show a popup menu with pin options, which will force the word to be used in future generations. 

-In the options panel, swipe left on the grid row to reveal custom bank options. 

-Swipe left on the Generate button to reveal the Typeface settings button. 

-Be gentle with the chaos slider.
