Something like this produces pseudo-random vaguely memorable char sequences. For default passwords I just tend to pick one that is easy to remember from a dozen options: 

#!/usr/bin/perl;

srand( time() ^ ($$ + ($$ << 15)) );
my @v = qw ( a e i o u y );
my @c = qw ( b c d f g h j k l m n p q r s t v w x z );

for (1..12) {
    my ($flip, $str) = (0,'');
    $str .= ($flip++ % 2) ? $v[rand(6)] : $c[rand(20)] for 1 .. 9;
    $str =~ s/(....)/$1 . int rand(10)/e;
    $str = ucfirst $str if rand() > 0.5;
    print "$str\n";
}

This algorithm produces 2*20*6*20*6*10*20*6*20*6*20 or around 82 billion permutations so it is quite feasible to brute force it though quite time consuming. 26**8 is around 208 billion so there is similar (order of magnitude) complexity to a random 8 char same case alphabetic string but far more memorability.
