List of Name Generators

[gogocamel]

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

Enjoy

That is awesome. I will definitely makes use of these. Thank you. Awhile back I worked up a similar list of tables drawn from Gygax's Extraordinary Names. I've since tweaked them to fit my game worlds, since they probably aren't much use to anyone else. I may have a backup of the source tables somewhere. I'll see if I can dig them up.

You're welcome Gogocamel. In due time I'll share my IPT files related to Names and Cartography/Cosmography I've been working for my personal project. I have other resources that are not really cartography related that I can also share. Send me a PM telling me what you currently use and I'll be able to send you what I have that is related.
