Much worse for Czech and other inflection (pardon my spelling)
languages. Although I would like to see Mala Lhota and Zboreny Kostelec
to be autogenerated (both adjective and name in the same gender), I fear
of the combinations like Mala Kostelec (F+M) or Zboreny Lhota (M+F). For
you capable of Czech, Stary Paka would be just funny :)

And these 2 word names are the easier ones, *sigh*

But maybe some more sophisticated algo would cope with that. Or it would
be used only for those easy languages like English :((
