Having trouble coming up with names? Try one or two of these sites.

Fantasy Name Generator- http://www.rinkworks.com/namegen/

The Etymology and History of First names- http://www.behindthename.com/ (<--This site is awesome.)

Latin word list- http://www.math.ubc.ca/~cass/frivs/lati ... -full.html

Good thinking! I really like the name generator. Inesdar, the one thing I have troubles with is male character names. Could I contact you if I need help?

Thanks for all of the ideas.

The link below is to an article on how to make a basic language with almost no grammar that can be used to generate names for characters, places, etc. It's a little less involved than the Language Construction Kit. And a Naming Language can take less time to make than a fully functional conlang the web address is:

Hope it helps.

Ooh, thanks! I can't wait to try it!

I've never had problems naming characters. Forlendo Alistar, Aurelian Alistar, Dennik, Natania Falrell, Feyron Falrell, Tyrillius Falrell, Tauflik, Sarflix, Cordrim, Falrock, Fardiran, Mikar, Tarkov, Kalzahan, Thornlin Arcrist...

But I can't seem to think of any tips. Sometimes I modify existing names. For the most part I sift through my list of over 300 Elvish words and assemble new names from them.

I want that list!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please

http://www.arwen-undomiel.com/elvish/names.html This is the elvish name translator that I use all the time online. It's really good.

I have some really good websites, and I'd be willing to help with names.

Hmm. I don't know. I'm still working on the language, by now I've got grammar and syntax down and what lies ahead is pretty much an exhaustive time of making up new words. I may introduce my elvish language to you later, when it's a little more developed and I have time to write up a whole thing on the mechanics of it.

Oh! See, I thought when you said a list of Elvish words that you meant Quenya or Sindarin. I didn't realize you were referring to a language of your own making. By all means keep that, it's yours

That's the problem with making my own Elvish...it isn't the only language called 'Elvish'. I need a unique name for it...

Name generators! Those are so fun. I don't usually have trouble coming up with names, but when I can't think of one right away I use my Large and Important Baby Name Book. (Well, that's not really what it's called. I think the title is more like 100,000 Baby Names, or something -- doesn't really matter.) There are so many awesome and rarely-used names, particularly variations of well-known ones, that I've always been able to find a name within a matter of minutes.

So yes. Rather too obvious, but it works. <.<

(Celtic names, especially Welsh, are always lovely and fantasyish -- and when the spelling's a bit varied they're not too recognizable from mythology.)
