To verify stuff like pgp public keys. It would be nice to have a hash function that produces a hash that looks like a nickname.

E.g. "addviadale of light"

This would provide an easier way to detect spoofing attempts.

       The only problem I can see (yet) is that the space of name-like strings is much smaller than the space of all strings, so a hashnick would have to be much longer than a traditional hash for the same level of entropy. But maybe you don't need as much entropy for this purpose.
