[QUOTE="Gronin, post: 5683066, member: 7603"] For characters I just mess around with sounds in my head until I have something that works for the particular character. Dwarves tend to have harder sounding names than elves and so on. I then say the name out loud for a while and try to twist the name (for humours sake) and then decide if I can deal with the inevitable fallout. As a DM it depends on many things but usually some sort of online name generator. Or if I am desperate I will just look around for the first written word I see (or in some case object) reverse the letters inthe word and presto-chango a name is born. This usually happens when an NPC ends up playing a much bigger role than anticiapted. I once DMed a campaign where an unnamed stable boy ended up becoming the big bad. While still a stable boy he was asked his name by one of the players (as it turned out the player who played the biggest role in causing his fall to the dark side - and no they weren't an evil group - the results of certain actions were unanticiapted). His name was Tabmoc (I had a DM screen in front of me). [/QUOTE]
