Maybe the Moderator should sticky this thread, that way, people will be able to find it quickly. Because, I dunno about you guys, I find it hard at times to name my characters. I figure it must be ten times as hard for a DM to find unique or appropriate names for their NPCS and dastardly villains.etc.

I agree, a sticky would be nice.

I couldn't tell you the number of time's I've played with guys whose characters were called "Peter Smith", "Elrond" or "Gnome Sorcerer"...
