For what it's worth, when I was attempting this with a possible verbose cipher (and was spectacularly unsuccessful), I settled on:
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. Centaurea You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. Lilium You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. Viola You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. Malva
I KNEW I was making huge assumptions with each and every one of these -- but I had to start somewhere. I was careful to document each of the assumptions I made at each step, so I would not forget all the possible places for a misstep my decisions had made.
On the upside, going through the exercise really made it abundantly clear the issues involved. Even when using combinations of cipher types that take into account issues with the text (e.g. cipher approaches that could accommodate the low entropy, the word length peculiarities, etc).
I'm not saying I'm entirely convinced of these IDs (or these particular names, even if the ID is correct) -- but these were better than average, in my opinion.
