Random Name Generators

Well, OK, only the first few links are actually useful, but some are still funny.

• Chris Pound's Name Generation Page - very useful for GMs who aren't good at coming up with names on the spur of the moment (e.g., me)
• Kleimos Random Name Generator - very flexible, lets you pick the "obscurity factor"
• Kate Monk's Onomastikon (dictionary of names) - so it's not random.  Still darn useful!
• Hobbit Name Generator
• Viking Name Converter
• Fairy Name Generator
• Dead Dog Cafe fully automated Native American Name Generator
• AD&D Name Generator (and its Puh-lenty BORING too)
• Your Pirate Name
• Rock Star Name Generator (includes generators for blues name, hip hop name, and many more)
• Pagan Name Generator
• Jedi Name Generator
• There's always the Mr T Name Generator over at Brunching Shuttlecocks
• And the AIEEE (Acronym Interaction Expansion & Extrapolation Engine) which is excellent for coming up with cute and technical sounding equipment names
• Yahoo! Entertainment > Humor > Names > Name Generators - Here! Pick one!
