Thanks for replying here.

When I first mentioned the possible problem of inappropriate words (and indeed even the numeric part might have significance - eg "0007" would perhaps not be a good choice for anything to do with intelligence, and some cultures associate good or bad luck with some numbers) I'd not yet clicked the button to set up one of these addresses.

I did do so yesterday though and did see that one can see the generated value - and if one cancels the dialogue and tries again one gets a different value. I suggested (in a ticket) that it might be a good idea for you to add to the screen that shows the generated address a suggestion that users eyeball the value and make sure it doesn't seem inappropriate to them (for their culture, their knowledge of who the recipient is, etc).
