Memorable resource names

A computer readable device comprising instructions that when executed perform a method for generating a resource name for a resource, comprising:

• generating a first part of the resource name comprising generating a first alphanumeric string that comprises a minimal number of mnemonic tokens, comprising one of:
• using a first user generated alphanumeric string;
• using a first processor to randomly select the first alphanumeric string from a first dictionary stored in computer-based memory;
• and
• generating the first alphanumeric string from first contextual information associated with the resource;
• generating a second part of the resource name comprising a second alphanumeric string that comprises a minimal number of mnemonic tokens, comprising one of:
• using a second user generated alphanumeric string;
• using a second processor to randomly select the second alphanumeric string from a second dictionary stored in computer-based memory;
• and
• generating the second alphanumeric string from second contextual information associated with the resource;
• combining the first part and the second part with an intervening separator symbol to obtain a first resource name;
• determining if the first resource name meets a desired threshold comprising determining that the first resource name is not comprised in a database of existing resource names;
• if the first resource name meets the desired threshold:
• assigning the first resource name to the resource;
• assigning an expiration time period to the first resource name;
• presenting the first resource name to a user for selection;
• and
• if the user does not select the first resource name, generating a second resource name;
• and
• if the first resource name does not meet the desired threshold, generating the second resource name.

A system, comprising:

• one or more processing units;
• and
• memory comprising instructions that when executed at least in part via at least some of the one or more processing units perform a method for generating a resource name for a resource, the method comprising:
• generating a first part of the resource name comprising generating a first alphanumeric string that comprises a minimal number of mnemonic tokens, comprising one of:
• using a first user generated alphanumeric string;
• using a first processor to randomly select the first alphanumeric string from a first dictionary stored in computer-based memory;
• and
• generating the first alphanumeric string from first contextual information associated with the resource;
• generating a second part of the resource name comprising a second alphanumeric string that comprises a minimal number of mnemonic tokens, comprising one of:
• using a second user generated alphanumeric string;
• using a second processor to randomly select the second alphanumeric string from a second dictionary stored in computer-based memory;
• and
• generating the second alphanumeric string from second contextual information associated with the resource;
• combining the first part and the second part with an intervening separator symbol to obtain a first resource name, using a computer-based processor;
• determining if the first resource name meets a desired threshold comprising determining that the first resource name is not comprised in a database of existing resource names, stored in computer-based memory;
• if the first resource name meets the desired threshold:
• assigning the first resource name to the resource;
• assigning an expiration time period to the first resource name;
• presenting the first resource name to a user for selection;
• and
• if the user does not select the first resource name, generating a second resource name;
• and
• if the first resource name does not meet the desired threshold, generating the second resource name.
