Abstract
The examination of literary pseudonyms has not been in the focus of onomastic studies. Nevertheless, several websites deal with the question and aid the choice of a pseudonym. The study focuses on web applications that advertise themselves as pseudonym generators, several of which further refer to themselves as writer pseudonym generators. These programs aim to ease the creation of literary pseudonyms. However, their use is limited by several factors. The study aims to examine these generators and categorise them based on their usefulness by using names created earlier to examine these generators. As the applications are dominantly programmed according to unprofessional aspects, they provide unique insights for onomastic research.
期刊介绍:
Névtani Értesítő, founded in 1979, is a peer-reviewed journal of Hungarian onomastics. It is co-published by the Institute of Hungarian Linguistics and Finno-Ugric Studies of Eötvös Loránd University and the Society of Hungarian Linguistics. In the journal, the section “Articles” releases new research results; the section “Onomastics and Events” reports on current Hungarian and international works and professional events; the sections “Book Reviews” and “Reviews on Periodicals” review the latest publications of Hungarian and foreign specialized literature. The authors of the articles published in the journal are representatives of various fields of sciences, mostly researchers of Linguistics and of the related branches of Humanities and Social Sciences from Hungary and the neighbouring countries. Submitted papers go through a blind double peer-reviewing process. The journal Névtani Értesítő keeps up relations with several international onomastic journals, many of which regularly review its issues. The issues of the journal Névtani Értesítő are published in Hungarian, with English lists of contents and abstracts.
