Christian Band Name Generator -- it's here!!!

I've thrown together a Christian Band Name Generator in response to the number of people visiting in search of one based on my previous post on the topic. How to use it: First, go to Random.com and ask for a series of random numbers with the smallest value = 1, largest value = 11. Then, using the chart above and for the first word, go to the first column and the row that corresponds to your number, then for the second word, go to the next column and find the row that corresponds to that. etc. So, for example, I got a sequence of numbers:

7, 4, 3, 6

Which equals to "Sing Their Blue Meaning." Not so bad, right?

7, 4, 3, 6 = Pray God's Beatific Book

5, 4, 11, 9 = Love God's Highest Peace

Not as interesting but, still, passable.

I'm the last person who should do this, though. Seriously! If I were a youth pastor, I think a fun church activity for teens and tweens would be to have them create a Christian Band Name Generator using a table like the one I made (they'd be learning some grammar, too), their Bibles, and flash or something (I don't know what kind of software does that best -- for sure not Word + the internet, like I used) and post it on the interwebs. You know what domain name is still available? Does Mary's Great Ideas really deserve its place in the "Christian Band Name" wordspace? Andsome of the examples are a little potentially worrysome. (Maybe this is a little closer to the point?) I'll bet all those sites are using the same program to make their generators.

On another, related topic: Have I already asked if there is a word or phrase that describes letting your google ranking or analytics results drive your content? "Market based content development," I suppose would be the real term, but there should be something catchier and, if possible, more derogatory. As Chris implied in an email, it's not like I have that much integrity to loose in my own content -- my mission, such as it is, is pretty unsubstantial -- so I'm not apologizing. I'm just saying, there should be a phrase.
