How do you come up with names?

[Man in the Funny Hat]

Thanks for the list...

You're welcome.

You know, I thought that list so valuable that for a decade I hadn't let anyone see it. Eventually I started just handing it to players who said they couldn't come up with names and snidely said, "If you can't find one on that list to use then maybe you shouldn't play." Only a matter of weeks ago did I finally put it up for public consumption and started providing links to it in "I can't think of a name" threads like this. Is that wierd?

I use tha various name genertors by Tabletop Games. Or my imagination, if its active at the moment.

That name uses Old English, so it is both realistic and plausible.

Yes, you can see Gleep Wurp the Eyebiter in the panel of the Bayeux Tapestry showing Haley's Comet ...
