See more:

can anyone give me a code to generate random names using breadth first search algorithm..

i was getting problem during implementation in BFS and one more thing i need a code in C# language.

See this example you can understand what i actually need to do.

A genetics professor Wants to name her new baby boy
Using only the letters D,N & A Search through possible strings (states)
D,DN,DNNA,NA,AND,DNAN, etc.
3 operators: add D, N or A onto end of string
Initial state is an empty string
Goal test Look up state in a book of boys’ names, e.g. DAN

here is the image showing random name is generating using breadth first search.

Why do you think BFS can do anything with generation of anything random? :-)

If you need some code, you're supposed to create it. If you have a particular problem, please show some code sample and point out what exactly is your concern — we will gladly help you.

Now, I don't see how generation of random values can be related to search algorithm. These two things are completely different. Generation of any random values (names or not) can be done using the class System.Random, please see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.random.aspx[^].

BFS (unrelated to random number generation) is fully explained here:

Good luck,
