Ever get stuck for names of NPCs your player characters run into that you never expected to provide them? Here's a fast and easy way to have many monikers on hand when Rodar the fighter wants to know the name of the brash drunk challenging him to a fight in the tavern, or the name of the shy barmaid over whom they're fighting. Simply follow the instructions below to produce names for all sorts of characters, including PCs if you like. While eight steps appear below, you only have to complete the first three to make the generator work. If you check the box below, the program can randomly fill in any blank fields to help DMs who want some surprises. In this way, you can also use this generator to inspire ideas for your games. Need a villain but don't know what to throw at the PCs? Create some random names -- perhaps "Lord Sterrock Hammerson the Much-Feared" will spark a new plotline. Once you've completed the steps below, click "Generate Name" to create a new character name. You'll never again have to suffer the guffaws of players when their PCs meet "Er -- his name? Um, the barkeep introduces himself as . . . George. CLICK HERE

Nice. Thanks for the link man.
Maybe we could insert this into the 'getting started' material when the new site is up.

Well... I also have Moonelf cleric of Mystra named Calas Silverleaf. I wouldn't say strange, this conundrum simply has three logical explanations. 1# The surname 'Silverleaf' is alike to the surname 'Hustlefoot' in popularity. 2# I have intentionally created possibility for 'those funny relatives you never knew of' role-playing. 3# Someone has already used 'my' totally original surname in this private world. Those damn copycats. Well, the tiefling has already met the other Silverleaf, the first and only meeting thus far was not really something you can call heartwarming. Mainly due to my role-playing. ;D
