There's often a case for combining human meaning with random.
On the random...
Width of pid+epoch is 48 bits.
CPU 4GHz per epoch = 32 bits. 48+32=80.
ssh-agent deems (a-zA-Z0-9)^12 = 71+ bits in /tmp.
14 of those chars = 83+ bits, more than current onion.
So doubt you really need to stuff 43 = 256+ bits onto a human readable field.
