        As an alternative, I wrote a program that takes the distribution of 
trigrams from an English dictionary, and statistically generates a 
Markov chain of such overlapping trigrams that look almost entirely 
unlike English words but often are strangely pronounceable, for instance:

umirckbysag mpspiarefor doptinenchc lymdeotmicn gclyowdhoki

      
      I, er, don't find any of those naturally pronounceable at all.

    
    Well, I see your point, but we're competing here with qljkvwqrx,
      lkdsfhkrw, or ad5cb9c940. Remember that the point is to come up
      with something that could be easily remembered. I would argue that
      they're not much worse than 

    
    Acthrel Iprivask Strensiq  Eltrombopag Ondansetron VinCRIStine 
      Arixtra Arzerra Ertaczo
    which are actually from a list of registered drug names that the
      doctors are supposed to remember. Maybe someone could come up with
      a suggestion for a better algo---adding just few vowels would fix
      them  up significantly: 

    
    umirckobysag mopsopiarefor doptinenchoc lymdeotemicyn goclywodhoki
    
    
    BTW, when I looked at the list of drug names I was impressed with
      the linguistic inventiveness of whoever comes up with this stuff;
      most of them not only could plausibly be pronounced, but also
      sounded vaguely 'medical'.
