Does anyone know of a name scrambler, where I can enter my first and/or my last name and have it make up a totally different name? One that is not necessarily human, but maybe an alien liek name, like my name on here, Aetom, that is obviously not a real name.

example: If I say I don't like dark roast coffee and someone comes back with, 'oh, you probably mean you don't like burnt coffee' - when I totally know exactly what I mean! what is the word for what that person has done?
It drives me nuts not having a word to describe it, because people do it to me CONSTANTLY.
