Inspiration Pad Pro
I spent some time creating Names generator tables for different countries using Inspiration Pad Pro. They are separated by continent but you can put them all in the same place and even create a single file with all tables together so you can mix first names and Last names from different countries.
Files are text format but they must be ANSI encoded to work with non-English characters so I recommend to Edit them with Notepad++ (which is the text editor I use).
I’m also working on a character generator and a planet name generator that I’ll share with you once it’s done.
BTW I just checked and as said gogocamel, Inspiration Pad Pro stills free and for those of you that prefer to use your tablet or smartphone they also have a version for Android.
Inspiration Pad Pro creates a folder in your Documents folder where you have to unzip this file to work properly. Documents\Inspiration Pad Pro\Common\nbos
