Inspiration We've all been there - sitting in a Zoom call when someone butchers your name so badly it sounds like they're summoning an ancient demon. Instead of suffering in silence, we thought: "What if we made this into an art form?" What it does NAME BUTCHERER takes perfectly innocent names and transforms them into beautiful disasters. Think of it as autocorrect's evil twin who studied linguistics just to cause chaos. It's like having a substitute teacher for every name in existence. How we built it With pure spite and a concerning amount of coffee. We probably used some combination of phonetic algorithms, machine learning models that we definitely overtrained, and what I can only assume was a lot of trial and error (mostly error). Challenges we ran into Teaching a computer to mispronounce things is surprisingly harder than teaching humans to do it naturally. Also, making sure it was funny-bad instead of just... bad-bad. Accomplishments that we're proud of We successfully automated the thing that wedding DJs have been doing for free for decades. Innovation! What we learned Sometimes the best way to appreciate something is to completely destroy it first. Also, names are wild - like, who decided "Knight" should sound like "night"? What's next for NAME BUTCHERER World domination, obviously. Or maybe just a browser extension so everyone can experience the joy of having their name absolutely demolished in real-time.
