Saw this linked on reddit today and couldn't resist going through all the combinations:
create table #pre(name varchar(20))create table #post(name varchar(20), pre varchar(10))insert #pre select 'Dino' union all select'Alien' union all select'Shark' union all select'Raptor' union all select'Tractor' union all select'Arachno' union all select'Cyber' union all select'Robo' union all select'Choco' union all select'Chupa' union all select'Grizzly' union all select'Mega' union all select'Were' union all select'Sabre' union all select'Man'
insert #post select 'dactyl','a' union all select'pus','to' union all select'conda','a' union all select'droid',null union all select'dile','o' union all select'bear',null union all select'vampire',null union all select'squito',null union all select'saurus','a' union all select'wolf',null union all select'ghost',null union all select'viper',null union all select'cabra','a' union all select'yeti',null union all select'shark',null
select a.name +case when right(a.name,1) not like '[aeiouy]' and b.pre is not null then b.pre else '' end +b.namefrom #pre a cross join #post bwhere a.name<>b.name -- optional, to eliminate the "SharkShark" optionorder by 1
Which one is your favorite? I like most of the -squito versions, especially Chupasquito and Grizzlysquito.
