A method and system for generating unique and human-readable URLs for objects included in a network system. When an object is created in a network system it may be that the application creating the object is unaware of URLs. However, it may also be that other applications included on the network system access object using URLs. When it is determined that an object needs a URL, one or more human-readable properties of the object are used to generate a URL. One or more storage locations associated with previously generated URLs are searched to determine if the human-readable properties of the object will generate a unique URL. If it is determined that the human-readable properties of the object will generate a unique URL, then a URL using the human-readable properties of the object is generated. However, if it is determined that the human-readable properties of the object will not create a unique URL, then the URL created using the human-readable properties is modified so that it is unique. Modification of the URL does not effect the human-readability of the URL. The method is configured so that modifications to future URLs generated from identical human-readable properties will still be unique.
