I would like to suggest checking some of the links in the thread mentioned in my sig below. Several of the sites mentioned in that thread, such as Virtual Fantasy, have a lot of FR information.

Caudor, thanks for the compliment! The grammar link seemed logical to me as a resource for people who might want to run a game on the boards and as a list of resources for DMs.
A lot of people use homebrew campaigns, including my group. Many people want to have names that draw on a specific culture or language. (For an example of this on the boards, check out Sepulchrave II's Wyre story hours. It is well worth the read, and a good counterpoint to those who say D&D is all "hack 'n' slash". Excellent roleplaying and theological discussions.)
It is also sometimes difficult to come up with good names. (While there is much to like about the Realms and the World of Greyhawk, some of the names make me scratch my head. Or course there are several good ones as well. For example, Cormyr clearly derives its name from Cormanthor, the great forest. In the world of Greyhawk, Furyondy derives from the older Ferrond.)
If you dig deep enough on the grammar links, you can even find a web link on how to create a language. (Okay, you might not be as good at as Tolkien, but then again he was a teacher of several languages at Oxford.)

Always glad to help gamers have fun. By the way, I am using my real name, so William or any reasonably polite variation will do.
Some of the links are mentioned for maps of Toril. So, take your time exploring the links. Also, you might want to visit the FR discussion forums at WotC's site.
Maybe some of our Realms experts can give Blastin a hand. Welcome to the boards!

I have a copy of Forgotten Realms supplement "Cormyr" for sale at a reasonable price. Email me at ThomasBJJ@Hotmail.com for more info.

Hi, dagger:
Good to see you on the boards. I will try to send you an e-mail sometime next week.
So, how are you?
