Having trouble coming up with a good name for a new character? Need to name a dozen NPCs for your next session, but have already run out of decent ideas stolen from fantasy novels? Maybe these links will help.

Thought that I'd share these with the community. Heck yes, I'm proud of them. Hopefully, you'll find them useful.

Dwarven name generator (http://www.rdinn.com/generators/1/dwarven_name_generator.php)

Create given names for males and females. You may also choose between "realistic" surnames (such as Khurduum, Gimdak, and Agrapal) and "fantasy" surnames (such as Gravelbeard, Trollhewer, and Ironhammer). Over 600 million possible combinations.



Elven name generator (http://www.rdinn.com/generators/2/elven_name_generator.php)

Create given names and surname for males and females. Over 100 billion possible combinations.



Both generators allow you to create up to one hundred names at a time, and both use carefully selected seed names - which means that both of them tend to give quality results, if I do say so myself.
