The second method is acceptable. What works in Campaign Suite is that it is windows specific, and thus relies on OLE for the assignment of the scores - one window talking to another through the automation, and stats being drag and dropped from one to the next.
Flavor type rolls are okay - you can't really fail at rolling a name, unless I suppose you really don't want the name bob, but it's subjective and a matter of taste.

I have become quite aware of the differences myself over the last month, but yes others might not be aware of this.
First: This is a perfectly honest question, I take it then that Campaign Suite is not a d20 product but is only OGL? or do you have seperate permission for your dice rolling?
Second; I understand that stat rolling is considered interactive and why that is the case. PC gen was allowed to keep its random name generator by WotC and be d20 legal. What I am wondering about is the inclusion of a die roler that is not field specific and does not input any results into any fields, hence no success/failure since this is not related to anything. People would have to cut and paste the results. I am not sure how a name generator is allowed and this is not since they are the same thing. Rename: bob=one=1, steve=two=2, etc. If need be name it generic generator 1 and let us change bob to 1 ourselves.
