Algorithm for generating product names

1) locate random object on desk
2) pick random character from alphabet
3) replace first character of object (from step 1) with the chosen
character (from step 2)

Example

1) apricot
2) 'h'
3) hpricot

From my own desk

1) light bulb
2) 'f'
3) fight_bulb

See, piece of cake!
