This modification of tfelix’s code provides the functionality to train a Markov Chain. Given a few previous characters, the next character can be predicted. There are settings for the size of the prediction window; as well as the propensity for randomness. When applied to Australian wine producers for instance, I was able to devise some feasible names:
ubet wines, sunselective lane valley end, belt, nanger, thpaw vine, wood estate, gold, monahan vineyard, brumbat rocnanthouse, caravis estate, two dorqueens of conte wild boyz 28 year wine creek winery, beauforthinglebula, miyard, the treehans & fils, smalldale wine, middle vineyardja, 490m, glaymongrel broombe brothern hill vineyard, wx gorge, winchet, sedow's stpa hillwood, wild's estate, campany, james at wester, west wine wisheques gehrig bros, sunset winexpert eclipsejallanfield, edge, lino gustable house, maipenrai villars, three mount patch, greirson's gbird hilberts and smith barrels, thomas family roberton estate, long company, relbia estate last drops, willows, barami estate, gardwood, jinnversity, yella crossa belfothi estate, liyll valley family wines, domain, watervlinvivo, flimbing & trak, standers univers, cofield estate, godfrey, bowles up, harefield, caprice, kogara estate, henley wines, henke vineyard, swings, chapel vave wines, best's reserve, wanadu, belle, wollum´y wines, 5os, laurencerubino, deakings, gisborough plains, milton's, bellars, terra riley estate, breaks, the produc estate, strick opal estnutumn hill bay, kellars, hill
Compare this to the generated French names:
gelière, eve des mourat), domaine bois, domaine dussolff, château foulet, maréchalon, vergnon, château gazins, château la vieilce, château la comte de michel gaule, château le bbc vinceny, karim vince (paul haut-plaisance, jean clergerie de circus, thomas, château-pourpreù, château granênes, château zirnhel, domaine la croix beaulmaëls, cbère, domaine maîtres
Also, some American names:

Please note that the generated names are not necessarily fictitious. It’s a worrying trend especially for generated faces when commentators assert that by virtue of its provenance, that the faces cannot possibly be real people.
