Trying to post my names spreadsheet again, first tab should print a one sheet easy name reference for picking quick NPC names. See both tabs of the spreadsheet for additional names. It's a work in progress.

It worked! The Names spreadsheet successfully attached above!

By the way, trolls, ogres, ettins and all giants in the Forgotten Realms speak Giant (or Jotun in their tongue) the Jotun language was elaborated a bit in the 2E Forgotten Realms supplement Giantcraft and it seems to be based in great part on old Danish or Norse. Most giants in the Realms should have names that sound vaguely germanic or viking. Here is a list of actual giant names from Norse Mythology:

Male
Baugi, Bergelmir, Farbauti, Gymir, Hrungir, Thjazi, Thrymr, Ymir
Female
Angrboda, Bestla, Gerdr, Skaði
