Seehttps://pypi.python.org/pypi/petname  
andhttps://www.npmjs.com/package/human-readable-ids, which both use animals.

As an alternative, I wrote a program that takes the distribution of trigrams from an English dictionary, and statistically generates a Markov chain of such overlapping trigrams that look almost entirely unlike English words but often are strangely pronounceable, for instance:

umirckbysag mpspiarefor doptinenchc lymdeotmicn gclyowdhoki
gavotlilmod hamdipicpto sriagflyori nstsdumotdo biclachiesf
dsalcleccod  lreamyryazi tbrtnmchnbl gsciffsucec lveadjeortd

bytramojetw hdenleraloa crymolduanu nutoloymctr ofanjewsstm

We've been using them for labels and such, and of course in principle this method should occasionally generate actual existing words, including NSFW words in English and possibly in other languages, but it turns out that the probability is very small, for what it's worth.
