I don't know of anything to specifically generate sequences like that, but you could probably come up with your own fairly easy. Afterall, it's just like using base-26 numbering, without any arabic numerals, i.e.

(Toggle Plain Text)

String makeStr(int num)
{
  String s = ('a' + num / 26);
  s += ('a' + num % 26);
  return s;
}

I didn't test this or anything, but as long as you have less than 26^2 strings, it'll get you the basic idea.
