    If you end up deciding you need more speed, a compromise would be to find a variety of generators based on different real world languages and cultures and assign them to analogous cultures in your world. Then either use the names directly from the generators or else use the word roots and create your own names that sound better.

    With the "speed" I'm making my map I'm well on track to get all the names before I get anywhere close to needing them . Now I just have to come up with enough so that I can group them in linguistic regions in appropriate amounts.
