People love to talk about their characters on message boards. So how about a chance to make the character famous? Or I should say, just the name, race, & gender famous?
I don't really like those name generators out there. It's also pretty hard to find lists of good quality names to use for different races. I haven't seen this done here before, so I thought it would be really useful for people.
So lets list every single character that you can remember that has appeared in a game you played or DMed. The names can come from PCs or NPCs...the more names the better!
Please follow these rules when making your list because I would like to make an excel file for these for everyone to use. Not following these rules will make my job harder
1. List only the characters first & last name (no titles such as Lord, Captain, ect) followed by a comma. Then write the characters race followed by a comma, and then the characters gender. It should look like my list of names below. This is just a name list for racial types, so we don't need a history about his background or his profession
2. The name should be somewhat original. So no Raistlin Majeres or even Bob Do'Urdens.
3. The name should not be silly. So no Bud the Weisers or Larry Big Pants & his Gnome sidekick Floofy McSnapplebutt.
4. It would be best if they were fantasy sounding names. Billy Smith isn't very fantasy sounding. It's easy to find name lists for standard names, so we don't really need another.
5. If any info is missing, such as race or gender, I will make something up when adding it to the list. If the race is an obscure race, I may categorize it as "other" instead. I may also not include the name if I don't think it fits with the list.
*edit* I have created an Excel file with your character names in it. Read this post for more info & to DL the file:

So I'll start off...here's my list of names that I can think of right now:
Drog, Half-Giant, male
Giff, Half-Elf, male
Vanlandimir, Elf, male
Cyriss, Tielfing, male
Obexx, Fire Genasi, male
Ash, human, male
Uriah Hatchus, Human, male
Koritha the Blessed, Tiefling, female
Jackal, Human, male
Parisa Sylow, Half-Elf, female
Burm Delatone, Half-Orc, male
Eliaena Gregor, Half-Elf, female
Abraxus, Tiefling, male
Nabaelba, Gnome, male
