Hi to all,

I am trying to make a random name generator, but thou they are random, all
2000 names ends up the same... what is wrong here??

note:
srandom(time(NULL));  _is_ called before the function below.
just ignore the global header... it is just used to get access to the city
array.

#include <time.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#include "global.h"


void set_names(void)
{
 int ran,n;
 char *n1,*n2,*n3,finalname[11];

 for(n=0;n<2000;n++)
 {
      ran = (random()%10);

      if(ran <= 5)
         n2 = "ka";
      else
         n2 = "cona";

      ran = (random()%10);

      if(ran <= 5)
         n2 = "tha";
      else
         n2 = "gnu";

      ran = (random()%10);

      if(ran <= 5)
         n3 = "so";
      else
         n3 = "dom";

      sprintf(finalname,"%s%s%s",n1,n2,n3);

      strcpy(city[n].name,finalname);
   }
}


TIA
