Urbit's IDs are 32-bit numbers represented in a pronounceable format (search for `@p`): https://urbit.org/docs/tutorials/hoon/hoon-school/atoms-aura... Meanwhile in the real world, there's proquints: https://arxiv.org/html/0901.4016

I think proquints [0] are pretty good at encoding for humans as well. For example, when used to encode IP addresses, they result in pronouncible identifiers like this: 127.0.0.1 lusab-babad 63.84.220.193 gutih-tugad 63.118.7.35 gutuk-bisog [0] https://arxiv.org/html/0901.4016

I did something quite like this years ago that now has implementations in many programming languages: https://arxiv.org/html/0901.4016 https://github.com/dsw/proquint

You'd use a pronounceable encoding scheme like proquints[0] so your child would be called Zagil-kunaf-lagoh-dudav-gukup-pujon-hitoh-lukug-vulut-zazug-batip-bikop-mafoh-foliv-munuh-nopok. You must be pretty optimistic about humanity's future if you're using a 256 bit hash. Just "Zagil-kunaf-lagoh-dudav" ought to be enough for anybody. [0] https://arxiv.org/html/0901.4016

Schemes I've used over the years: * Bodies of the Solar system - moon./mars./mercury./&etc. * Shakespeares' characters - titus, achilles, adam, agrippa, &etc. * proquint () of the address - 10.0.0.53 = bomab-babuj, etc. ( - http://arxiv.org/html/0901.4016)
