Why are there none that start with v,w,x,y,z? Plenty of perfectly pronounceable strings should exist.
You picked out some good ones, but skimming through the list, I don't see many others that catch my eye. A lot that sound vaguely Turkish. Probably some good Linux distro names in there, though.
A lot sounded Japanese to me.
Edit: Though it all starts to blur together after the first 10,000 :-)
Some wealthy jerk will probably register all of these.
If there's nothing here that is satisfactory, then it's quite easy to generate random pronounceable words, just alternate between vowels and consonants. As an example: https://github.com/Stuk/generate-words
Earlier quoted context omitted.

I think it will have a lot to do with the knowledge of the speaker. I saw lots of nihongo looking stuff, plenty of swahili and polynesian looking things too. Edit: Though it all starts to blur together after the first 10,000 :-)
EDIT: why can't I reply to you joshu? That sounds interesting, would be curious to see the results.

I started out with something similar to this, but randomly playing combinations created a lot of garbage relative of things that sounded pronounceable. A lot of letters are simply unpopular/bad (looking at you Q, J, Z, X) in most combinations (often the exception is the end).

Yeah, that's true. I like using it more as a launchpad for ideas. It's definitely not going to generate the next Flickr!
