Monster Names

[fourthmensch]

This is a neat thread; monster and NPC names were always important to me, and they're not easy to make up.

I would reccomend to any of you the Everchanging Book of Names (http://ebon.pyorre.net/). Its a shareware random name generator, with all sorts of add-ons for Forgotten Realms, Warhammer, Middle-Earth, terrestrial cultures, etc. Since I found that program I haven't needed to reference my old lists of published names anymore.

[countgray]

Here is an excel file of names that I compiled from lots of supplements, mostly the Forgotten Realms Campaign Book and any Forgotten Realms module or supplement I could get my hands on that had name lists. The first tab is designed to print a one page quick reference sheet for names for Forgotten Realms NPC's including a lot of monster races. There is a second tab "other names" with other monster races and some other Forgotten Realms nationalities. This spreadsheet is a work in progress, not really finished yet. Hope it is helpful to someone.

Hope it attached properly.
