Part of the problem they have with random name generators, they generally don't provide cohesive styles of names. In my Greyhawk campaign, Nyrond (where the party is based) uses German naming conventions for most humans, but the Flan (native peoples) use a mix of Gaelic and Welsh. The Suel, an ancient human race who've left various ruins, used Roman and Greek, while their barbarians descendant use Nordic names. Finally, the distant Baklunish human tribes use Arabic names, while another region uses French and another English. People from different regions or human tribes can be more easily determined based simply on their name.</blockquote>
