This is a WFRP supplement I put together for the second edition, and now it's been updated for the new edition. Download it from the link below and you'll have hundreds of Imperial character names at your fingertips. You'll also find ideas for business types, street and location names, and other goodies. This is a 32-page PDF that's printer-friendly (black-and-white), and set up in landscape format for easy viewing on your screen. You'll also find bookmarks in the PDF so you can easily jump right to your favorite sections. Please let me know what you think!

Very handy. Thanks!

Interesting. Is it really geared toward 3E or is it still 2E compatible?

I made a few small changes to bring it up to date. I added a how-to section on rolling D100 and D1000 for folks who might not be familiar with how that's done. The Craftsmanship levels of businesses were altered to reflect the Craftsmanship levels in V3. I added and removed a small handful of names on the lists so that they fit better on the page. Also, I updated the links in the credits. That's about it. It's totally compatible with earlier editions.
Great, does this include the work from 2nd edition that was published in Warpstone and updated by Peter Rutkowski (last I checked still available as a download on Warpstone site)?
Good resource for Hammerzeit to put up.

That's a great list - saw it posted in Winds of Chaos website - already used it for 1 of my PC names for WHFRP3! Thank you.

I didn't refer to any issues of Warpstone when I put this thing together. Can you point me to the article you're talking about?
Awesome work man, it's rightly appreciated.
This is wonderful. Thanks so much for the hard work!
I have a similar list from the Character Pack by Chris Pramas.
It contains over 450 human names , combinations of setting up dwarf names made of element 1 + element 2, and elf names made of element1 +(connector) +element 2 and one hundred surnames for elves, halflings and humans.
For third edition my player rolled a name for his dwarfen rat-catcher ending up with Farrin Tinnballs. We found it hillarious. Our humant scout rolled up the name Kurt Meyer.
The Character Pack, and Game master`s toolkit of 2nd edition is one my most favourable accesories to whrp. the one containing a lot of names the other a bunch of random encounters like street encounters, inns of the Empire, Roads, Forests and Farms, Something strange... wilderness etc. etc.
I am totally going to use them to add colours to my 3rd edition campaign.
btw I forgot to thank you for your hard work on this amazing list.

We just had our first game of WH (of any edition) last night. I was at a loss for NPC names. Even the players (my son and nephews) were having a hard time crafting appropriately sounding names. Now that I have your great refrence I need no longer worry.
Thanks a bunch.
