XF 2.1 Is it possible to randomise the "site" part on the end of page titles?

The idea is fairly simple - to have three or four different "site" titles that each cover selected keywords, then have a random one served when the page is requested and tagged onto the end, after the dash or pipe.

Can this be done by maybe generating a random number in the page template and then applying a specific title based on the resulting number?

The idea is to spread various keywords throughout Google's page results for pages with short titles.
 
Spread keywords into page titles, for example:

Short thread title | Bimble Bird Watching Forum
Short thread title | Bimble Birding Forum
Short thread title | Bimble Wildlife & Birds Forum
Short thread title | Bimble Birds Forum
etc.

The thread title [main key words] won't change when Google comes along and re-indexes, but the changing (random) site title will diversify the keywords it indexes in relation to the site, spreading a broader range of keywords into the index with the hope of more threads being found in people's searches than the current fixed title for every page.
 
At the moment all the search results have the same site title tagged onto the end, so something like this:

Need advice on binos for mid-range budget | Bimble Bird Watching Forum
Making a hide - what do we need to get started? | Bimble Bird Watching Forum
Do any of your family or friends share your love of birds | Bimble Bird Watching Forum
What other hobbies do you have? | Bimble Bird Watching Forum
Birds on your spot list | Bimble Bird Watching Forum
Common garden birds you spot on your feeder | Bimble Bird Watching Forum
How to improve your bird spotting skills | Bimble Bird Watching Forum
World's Best Destinations for Bird-Watching | Bimble Bird Watching Forum
Hummingbird Lovers | Bimble Bird Watching Forum
Sea Birds Of The Welsh Coast | Bimble Bird Watching Forum

... with a randomised site title the keyword spread will be more diverse ...:

Do any of your family or friends share your love of birds | Bimble Wildlife & Birds Forum
What other hobbies do you have? | Bimble Birds Forum

Google isn't going to reindex pages with daily regularity so some of them will sit for a long while in the index before changing, and I doubt Google will penalise a site for such a minor change (sites update and change their page titles all the time).
