Show HN: Tinytowns, a small model to generate realistic sounding town names

tinytowns makes up new town names in the style of real ones. It learned the letter patterns of 128,435 real place names: it was trained to guess the next letter of a place name as well as it can. It does not know which places exist, so most names it writes are new.

Applications: - Make names for towns in games and on maps. - Make test data with place names that are not real. - Tell if a word looks like a place name. For example, it could find asdfgh in a city field.
