Not sure if this has been "suggested" before, but here goes...

Post your favorite names from any session(either you played or DMed). Goes for rivers, mountains, towns, characters... anything that deserves being called somehow... :smallbiggrin:

That ought to help us all with inspiration, and I am sure there are some of us here that hate coming up with names(I for one). Especially during a session... and to be honest, I don't trust random name generators much... hehe.

Anyways, now I can only think of these:
Feandril - char. name
Asan - char. name
Adrianne - char. name
Almaric - char. name

Arendal - town name
Regaron - town name
Avaron - town name

I don't really have any names from Planescape that I really, really liked.

In our kingdom's army, we have a "special unit" that has an illithid named Bob and a beholder named Steve (NPCs of course).

Did any of these happen to come from the PCgen random name generator? They seem familiar...

[QUOTE=Mad Wizard;4975536]Did any of these happen to come from the PCgen random name generator? They seem familiar...

Must be because I've posted them in a similar thread before. I got most of them by twisting around words I associated with the character/place in question. "Izmarragdsauriv" is a combination of a corrupted root word of "emerald (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emerald)" (Izmargad) and Draconic for "eye" (sauriv), for example.

...though I have no idea where I got the Aszaufvorax one. Random inhuman-names seem to come easily.

The following are dragon names entirely cobbled together from the Draconic vocabulary in Draconomicon:

Dartakvalignat (Hateburn)--- Red dragon, pyroclastic dragon
Valeij-al-Ixen (Bleedfire) -- red, pyroclastic
Thurkearthadarsh (Nightpillage) -- black, shadow
Hysvearvivex - (soaring victory) - any good
Aujirhurthi (Bronze Fortress) - Bronze
Athearcaex (Celestial sword) - Gold, Silver, or Bronze
Vorelmiirik (Beautiful song) - Song
Ornvaeri (Silverdance) - Silver
Iskvargach (Starbattle) - Battle
Aurixverthicha (Goldmountain) - Gold, Radiant
Rhyaexkurik (Meatslaughter, "Carnage") - Fang
Aujirsveargith (Bronze Bravery, "Brazen") - Brass, bronze
Svent-vur-Valeij (Killbleed) - Fang
Aryteversvesh (Warstrong) - Battle
Dartakvutha (Hateblack) - Black
Erekessedar (Throughearth) - Deep
Sjachvutha (Shadowblack) - Shadow
Ixenhaurach (Firefate) - any fire-based
Toxrilsauriv (Venomeye) -- green
Izmarragdzauriv (Emerald Eye)

(Actually, Toxril and Izmarragd were not from the vocabulary list.)
