uniqueidentifier

I would like to create something like identicons but not with images but with a unique word for each IP-Adresses and MAC-Adresses.

create an easy to remember alias for a mac address, that is unique and reverse lookupable, for example:

IP 123.456.789.132 will result in an alias for that IP, that is connected to an existing word from a wordlist, that is unique.

Background of this idea: this way we could identify our Routers in our Opennet in Hamburg easily in a graphical NodeGraph.

Is there some site already, where I can convert MAC-Adresses to unique human readeable words?
