    • Someone had posted a really good name generator on the old forum that let you search by ethnicity, and I think it also had a feature that let you see what the name meant as well as generating a surname to go with the first name, and I had a catastrophic computer melt down and lost the link.

    Can anyone help me reacquire the link?

    • This one is more for fantasy names than real world names, but I'm told that The Ever-Changing Book of Names is a good resource as well.


    Also, Behind the Name as a Goth category, and it is hilarious.

    • For that witch, pagan, dark lord or similar, you can use Lord Ooky Hellwrought's Sixteen Unspeakable Utterances or Lady Pixie Moondrip's Guide to Craft Names

    I gather they're both fairly well known.
