I used to have a random name generator called 'gename' or something like that on my old computer. It did great elvish-style names complete with weird accents and the like.

Pretty sure it was freeware. Anyone have it, know where to find it, or know where to find something similar?

That one is awesome, and I bookmarked it. Unfortunately, it doesn't do the stuff I was looking for.

The one I was looking for does names like - Legárith, Gliolindë, Eärólindë

I found a forum post here (http://seventhsanctumsector.yuku.com/topic/1135) that attributes it to Johan Danforth, as well as a few other generators attributed to him. I think this (http://weblogs.asp.net/jdanforth/about.aspx) is the same Johan; it might be worthwhile to contact him and ask.

Edit: Definitely Johan Danforth, confirm it here (http://web.archive.org/web/19990202200628/http://spitfire.ausys.se/johan/).

Edit: And I found his email in the guestbook (http://web.archive.org/web/20041214043703/spitfire.ausys.se/guestbook/guestbook.asp?page=12), at the bottom of the page. However, as it is at the same domain, I wouldn't bet on it being checked or maintained.

Good luck.
